The Israelites took the Promised Land and divided the land between the twleve tribes, with Joshua as their leader. But after Joshua died at age 110, the people soon turned to become friendly with the Canannite people still living among them in the Promised Land. They began to marry the Canaanite women and worship Canaanite gods—things that God had commanded them not to do.
As a result of their disobedience, God allowed them to be enslaved again, this time by some of the Canaanite rulers. From time to time over the next 400 years, the people turned back to God and prayed to Him to help them. When this happened, God raised up a special leader, called a Judge, who led the people to fight against the Canaanites and then have a time of peace.
One of the Judges was Deborah (the only woman Judge). She helped people with their disputes and decisions. When the Canaanite king Jubal was attacking Israelites, Deborah called on Barak, a fighting man, to gather an army and fight against Jubal and his general Sisera. Jubal had 900 chariots, which served much like tanks in the army today. And Sisera had many more soldiers than Barak had.
But God spoke through Deborah to give Barak the confidence and the plan to defeat Sisera, with God’s help. Come Sunday to find out the battle plan, and how Barak depended on Judge Deborah to carry it out.
You’ll enjoy this story…and your friends will, too. Invite them to join us!
