Judges

The Period of Judges contains 8 lessons from the books of Judges and Ruth. Your class will discover that period of the Judges was a sad period of time in the lives of the children of Israel. The people did not have a strong leader, so they didn’t have strong faith in God. Your kids will learn that it is not only important to have a good, strong, courageous leader who can show us the right way to live, but it’s equally important to be a good follower – someone that always listens and obeys the leaders, who shows love and respect by always following the rules and not going off to do their own thing. Your students will be reminded that a good leader is one that follows Jesus and encouraged to be a good leader in their families, in their neighborhoods, or at their schools. (38 pages)
