Children naturally want to do what's right in their own eyes. Today's society even promotes it. This six-lesson series from the book of Judges presents God's standard by contrasting the defeat caused by disobedience with the blessings brought by repentance. The lessons feature Israel's broken promise to obey God and the stories of Deborah and Barak, Gideon and Samson. Each lesson challenges children in a different area of obedience--putting God first, setting a good example, being bold for God, trusting His strength, following His will and choosing to live a pure life. Uphold God's standard for the children you teach and watch them take their stand for God!
