Read the story of Deborah's faith and leadership in Judges 4:4–22.
You may want to read it in The Message (MSG) version for easier reading and storytelling.
Discussion Questions:
What happens when we only have a "surface-level" perspective like Barak? Why is it easy to do this?
Why do we need a "faith-based" perspective like Deborah?
How can we actually go about having this in our lives? What are steps can you take to build faith?
In our own lives, when is it easiest to have faith? When is it hardest?
What do you do differently than others in your life because you have faith? How have you seen God care for you during these times?
How does Deborah's leadership in a physical battle point people to Jesus?
What areas in your life can your leadership point people to Jesus?
Eventually (if not already) your plans for your life will collide with the faith that God has called you to place in Him, and one will have to give. Is this going on in your life? What are you doing? What should you do? Explain.
This rGroup should be a "Deborah" (something that will challenge and encourage you to live a life of faith in God) for each of us. How can we become better at this?
