Bible Lesson 11: Deborah Helps Others Memory Verse: Psalm 121:1-2 1I lift my eyes toward the mountains. Where will my help come from? 2My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. CSB
- The cycle of sin is rebellion, bondage, repentance, rescue, and rest.
- Deborah is the only prophetess mentioned in the book of Judges. She was also a judge, a wife, and a great leader.
- God loves, cherishes, and values men and women equally.
- Because of their sinful ways, the Israelite nation suffered under the rule of King Jabin and the Canaanites. King Jabin’s army was superior in its day because it had 900 iron chariots. Sisera was the commander of King Jabin’s army.
- Oppressed means weighted down by harsh authority or power.
- God revealed to Deborah that He was calling Barak to lead the army against their enemy, the Canaanites. When Deborah first informed Barak that God wanted him to fight their enemy in battle, Barak refused to go unless Deborah went with him. Barak refused to go unless Deborah went with him. Because of Deborah’s faith in God and the encouragement she gave, Barak’s faith grew. Barak is even mentioned in the book of Hebrews as an example of faith.
- A good leader, like Deborah, encourages others to do what is right. A good leader, like Deborah, encourages others to do what is right. A good leader is also helpful to others.
- Jael, the wife of Heber, offered Sisera a safe place to hide and milk to drink. When he had fallen to sleep, Jael killed him with a tent peg – Jael with the nail. Just as Deborah had prophesied to Barak, God allowed a woman to get the honor for the victory over Sisera.
- After the great victory against the Canaanites, Deborah and Barak sang a song of praise. In the “Song of Deborah,” they praised God and the men who were willing to go to battle against an overly powerful enemy. Deborah rebuked the people of Reuben, Gilead, Dan, and Asher because they did not join Israel’s fight. She declared that they would not receive honor as the rest of Israel would.
- When Israel sinned, God judged them by giving them over to the ungodly Canaanite people. When Israel repented from their evil ways and turned back to God, He delivered them from the Canaanites. The same goes for people today. When people sin against God, they will suffer the consequences of sin. However, when people repent and turn to Jesus for salvation or forgiveness, He delivers them from their sin.
- Conscience is defined as the knowledge of right and wrong and a conviction to do what is right.
- God gave people a conscience to help determine right from wrong.
- Philippians 2:9-11 says there is power in the name of Jesus.
- Believers can encourage one another and help to carry each other’s burdens by listening to, praying for, and helping to meet one another’s physical and emotional needs.
