Teen Talk - Judges - Othniel
Channel: rockyouth
Date: 2022-01-19

Throughout the first five books of the Old Testament, we see God’s people — the Israelites (or the children of Abraham, who’s name is changed to Israel) — taking shape as a nation. They are led out of captivity in Egypt by Moses. They wander through the wilderness where God gives them the law (the 10 commandments) and really teaches them what it means to belong to Him. After Moses, God shows His power through Joshua who leads the Israelites. 

But then, we see God’s people turn away from Him. 
They do this over and over again throughout the book of Judges. In fact, when you read the book closely, God’s people follow a pattern of actions over and over again.
This continues until the final judge ushers in the first king.

What about today? Judges were replaced by kings and kings were replaced by Jesus, so is the cycle from the judges over? It’s not! 
God can use this cycle to draw the heart of a lost person to Himself. 

Discussion
Read John 16:8. Breakdown and discuss the three different roles of the Holy Spirit described in this verse.
If you haven’t experienced the leading of the Holy Spirit, you might not have the Holy Spirit or you might not be listening for Him. Do either of these describe you? What will you change?
What are some additional roles of the HS in the life of a believer? 
Othniel was empowered by the Holy Spirt to rescue the Israelites and point them back to God. Today our role as believers is to do the same. How are you submitting to the leading of the Holy Spirit to point others to Christ and how are you quenching the Spirit?
