Judges (Bible Study Book with Video Access): Forgetful People, Faithful God (10 Sessions)

The book of Judges records the turbulent chapter in Israel’s history following Joshua’s death and before the rise of Israel’s kings. God’s people had settled in the land He had promised, yet their hearts still wandered. Again and again, they forgot the Lord and chased after false gods. Their unfaithfulness led to oppression by surrounding nations. In their distress, they cried out for deliverance, and God raised up judges to rescue them and call His people back to covenant faithfulness. Who were these leaders? You may have heard of Gideon, Deborah, and Samson, but their stories each play a part in a well-ordered narrative with one big message.

In this 10-session Bible study, Jen Wilkin takes you verse-by-verse through the book of Judges, tracing its sobering cycles of rest, sin, oppression, and deliverance. Israel’s story is our story. The book of Judges reminds us of God’s steadfast faithfulness to His forgetful people and leaves us aching for a true and better Deliverer—Jesus Christ.
