Today's Reading

Judges 3

Reflection

Pray: "Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law."

  1. 1

    What do you learn about God (the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) from this chapter? His thoughts, ways, or actions toward us, as His creation? How can you respond to God in prayer and praise?

  2. 2

    In verses 1-6, was the Lord intentional in allowing the nations to stay and go to war with the Israelites? What reasons did the Lord give for the wars? In verses 5-6, what did the Israelites do in direct rebellion against God's commands in chapter 2:1-2?

  3. 3

    In verses 7-11, what was evil in the sight of the Lord? How did this impact the Lord, and what did He do? How long did they serve Cushan-rishathaim? What led to the Lord sending Othniel, the judge and deliverer of the people? How many years did the people have rest?

  4. 4

    In verses 12-14, because the people again did evil, what did the Lord do? How long did the people serve Eglon, king of Moab?

  5. 5

    In verses 15-23, what led to the Lord raising up Ehud, the judge and deliverer of Israel? How did Ehud get an audience before the king of Moab? What did Ehud make for himself? How is Eglon described? How did Ehud kill king Eglon?

  6. 6

    In verses 24-30, why didn't the king's servants enter the chamber right away? What did this give Ehud time to do? How long did Israel have rest after their battle with the Moabites? Note: another judge, Shamgar, is mentioned in verse 31. He fought the Philistines and saved Israel. How many men did he kill, and what tool did he use?

  7. 7

    Ponder: How has this chapter impacted your thoughts about wars? Is there a time for war, or should we only seek peace? For more insight: https://www.gotquestions.org/war-Bible.html. One of the reasons for the wars in this chapter was to test the people to see if they would obey the commandments of the Lord when life was difficult. When the trial of war came, would they choose to obey and follow the Lord, or take matters into their own hands? When we face trials in our lives, they will reveal our faith and trust in the Lord. Just like silver, it is only under the heat that the quality of the silver is discovered. When God tests us, He wants us to realize how solid our faith is, and He wants us to learn to trust Him more. Read James 1:12, James 1:3-4, and 1 Peter 1:6-7. How does this lead you to pray?

Evangelism

Share Your Faith

Do you want to share your faith with your family, friends, or co-workers, but aren't quite sure how? Sharing the gospel can feel intimidating, but it doesn't have to be. Often it's as simple as having a conversation and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide your words.

Reach Out Workshop

A four-session interactive workshop designed to help you grow more confident in sharing your faith. Each session includes practical teaching, discussion, and opportunities to practice.

Sign Up for the Workshop

The Four Sessions

1

The Good News

Discover what the gospel truly is and why it's called "good news." This session explores the human condition, the life and work of Jesus—from birth to resurrection and ascension—and what His ongoing intercession means for us today.

Participants will learn how the gospel shapes our worldview, how to share it clearly, and what real success in evangelism looks like. Includes key Scriptures like The Romans Road, practical tools for gospel conversations, and links to trusted video teachings on getting the gospel right.

2

A Missional Mindset

Learn how to live on mission every day. This session focuses on the heart behind outreach — seeing people as persons, not projects.

You'll explore Grace Point's mission, practice active listening, and develop the skill of asking thoughtful questions that build trust. The goal isn't quick conversion but faithful, prayer-filled relationship building. Includes conversation starters, listening tips, and guidance on praying strategically for people in your life.

3

Bridging to Spiritual Conversations

Turn everyday conversations into opportunities to share faith naturally. This session helps you recognize moments when you can move from surface-level talk to meaningful spiritual discussion.

You'll learn how to ask clarifying and bridge questions, address common objections with truth and compassion, and stay focused even when distractions arise. Includes example responses to tough questions about suffering, the Bible's reliability, hypocrisy in the church, exclusivity of salvation, and evidence for God.

4

Now What?

Take the next steps in living missionally. This final session centers on prayer, courage, and consistency — praying for the Holy Spirit's leading, recognizing gospel opportunities, and continuing to follow up in genuine relationship.

It's about keeping the conversation alive and trusting God with the results. Includes prayer prompts and encouragement to keep sharing the good news with boldness and love.
