[Sunday] Ehud Left - His Eyes The Book of Judges
This week's judges cycle: we meet Ehud, the crippled lefty who reminds us that God's power shines brightest in weakness.
QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK: His Eyes: The Book of Judges - Indistinguishable
There is a consistent cycle in the book of Judges - rebellion, oppression, and then deliverance. Have you ever experienced a similar cycle in your own life? How can we break free from this cycle?
Read Judges Chapter 3. We see how God uses a seemingly weak and “left-handed” person, Ehud, as a judge. What are some of the ways we define strength today? How does the story of Ehud challenge these definitions?
We often try to hide our weaknesses. Can you share a time when you felt weak or vulnerable? How did you deal with it?
Read 2 Corinthians 12:1-10. Connect the story of Ehud to the concept of God’s power being made perfect in weakness. What does this concept mean to you? Can you think of any other examples from the Bible or your own life that illustrate this concept?

What Had happened at Grace this week.
It's right there, all around us is the party of God's abundance. The question for us all is: Will we enjoy ourselves in God’s generosity, or will we rely on our own strength?
