Home Church Questions
• Read Judges 5:1-31.
• What stands out in this passage or from the message?
• What are some of your favorite Christian songs or hymns? Why are those particular ones meaningful to you?
• Deborah and Barak's song looks back at Israel's history and rehearses the Exodus Story (5:4-5). What Biblical events stick in your mind as the major ones as you reflect on God's grand story of redemption?
• Life is tough during these particular times for Israel (5:6-7). What do you think the future will be like for "committed Christians" in the near future?
• When have you answered God's call? When have you "stayed by your boats" like the tribe of Dan (5:17)?
• What do you know God is calling you to right now? If you do not know, perhaps the group can help you talk through it.
• How have you seen God unmistakably intervene in your life?
