Wednesday Night Family Info
I hope you're doing well! We’ll soon be kicking off a new four-week series called
U-Turn: the Book of Judges. Throughout this series, we’ll be taking a deep dive into the Old Testament Book of Judges, where God specifically uses individual people (often not the people you’d expect!) to bring about redemption for God’s people.
Series Overview
This 4-week series explores the powerful, messy, and redemptive stories in the Book of Judges, showing how God's grace breaks through cycles of sin, doubt, and failure. From Othniel to Samson, each week highlights a different judge.
-
Big Idea: God is constantly fighting to bring us back to Him.
Question for Discussion: What are some “modern idols” people your age might be likely to chase that pull them away from God without ever realizing it?
-
Big Idea: God uses unexpected people in unexpected ways.
Question for Discussion: What are some things that hold you back from believing God can use you in big ways?
-
Big Idea: Your doubts don’t disqualify you from God’s calling.
Question for Discussion: What are some doubts or insecurities that people your age might allow to hold them back from stepping into their calling? Which of those do you relate to most?
-
Big Idea: It’s never too late to turn back to God.
Question for Discussion: How do you usually respond when you feel like you’ve failed—do you hide, try harder, give up, or something else?
Our hope is that the discussion questions provided above might lead your family to open conversations about what it looks like for each of us to realize that God may be calling us to play a part in His plan. As always, please feel free to reach out if you ever have any questions!
Thanks for letting us be a part of investing in your students and family, if you have any questions or concerns, please email Pastor Zachl!
In His Grace,
Zach Boyer
Pastor at Clairemont Emmanuel
