Questions for Reflection for Study of Judges 1-7

The journey through the book of Mark came to a close last week and now the journey will go back into the Old Testament for a while through the book of Judges. The reading plan below will be used to hold me accountable to sharing about God’s word. As I share about my study of the book of Judges over the next few weeks, it’s important to have a plan. I’m thankful that Jesus is God’s plan for us and by accepting Christ as Savior; we have taken the steps necessary to make this day amazing!
