Youth Group Discussion: Deborah

Game:  In honor of  Super  Bowl: Teddy Bear Football,  two hand touch below the waist  

Bible Verse 1: Judges 4:1-16
         
Video:  Holy Moly dvd- “Deborah”

Five Questions:
1.     This week again we have a powerful woman from the Bible.  But this time she’s not just a wife or familial influence but a “judge”, a respected leader of her people.  She also becomes a leader of armies, a general if you will.  How does this make you think of her?
2.     The other women in this series have trusted in the Lord to lead them or give them children or to show them who to marry.  Deborah has wisdom from God and He tells her to tell others to go to battle.  Does this make her power, her connection to God stronger? Why or Why not?
3.     In the video the power of God is shown as a light around the characters.  When the Jewish army is about to attack the Canaanites they are in black and white, then God’s power encompasses them and they become colored and grow in stature.  After the battle the warriors return to their normal size but they are still in color.  What do you think this says about God’s power? 
4.     Deborah from the beginning of the story trusts in God.  Barak the commander trusts in Deborah.  By the end of the battle do you think that Barak has changed? How?
5.     Once again this story has God “speaking” to those who trust Him. But
Barak didn’t hear God, he trusted in Deborah who was close to God. How can the story of Deborah help you learn to trust God?



Close in prayer and ask for prayer requests.
