The Cycle: Having Faith in Tough Circumstances YM360

On this side of the book of Judges, we can easily find ourselves in a judgmental stance about God’s people. This series seeks to study the cycle of relationship with God, falling away, and salvation from our disobedience. We’ll do this through the lens of three major players in the book of Judges, learning how to stop this cycle with us.

The Cycle: Having Faith in Tough Circumstances is a challenge for students to look at their lives and be willing to make a change. We are called to much more on this earth than sin, repent, worship, repeat. Let us be the generation to break the cycle.

“The Cycle” covers the following purposes and passages:

• SESSION 1 – “Starting in a Circle”: Where do you start in a circle? You’ll open the series by saying it doesn’t matter where we begin. Instead, it’s about identifying the cycle to break out. (Judges 2:8-23)
• SESSION 2 – “Unique Doesn’t Mean Flawed”: Students will learn how the entire kingdom of God is needed to break the cycle of sin. (Judges 3:12-30)
• SESSION 3 – “Passing the Test”: You’ll ask students what might happen if God removed all of their obstacles. Would they still turn back? (Judges 6:11-40)
• SESSION 4 – “The World’s Strongest Weakling”: The series closes by showing how it’s not our strength which allows us to overcome the cycle. (Judges 16:23-40, James 1:19-21)
