Choices & Consequences (A Study of Joshua/Judges)

by Scott Stevens (Editor), Vivian Conrad, Bob DeFoor

Choices and their inevitable consequences. We just can’t seem to get around them. Whether it’s the food we choose to eat, the speed we choose to drive, the relationships we choose to enter, the people we choose to follow, or the habits we choose to form; we all live with the positive and negative consequences of our choices. Fortunately, God has provided us an “owner’s manual” that can serve to guide our choices. The Bible contains stories of real people, their choices, and the resulting consequences.

The Books of Joshua and Judges are full of such stories. Stories of courageous faith and miraculous victories as well as stories of deception and rebellion that spiraled into defeat and chaos. In this study we will encounter heroes and heroines (some expected and some unexpected) as well as examples of what can happen when God is ignored and people choose to “do as they see fit.”

The Bible is full of principles that can teach us how to make God-honoring choices. Be encouraged in your pursuit to choose wisely. “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified, do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9).
