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?

In your relationships with one another, have the same attitude as Christ Jesus, who was God but did not strive to hold onto that divine reality to give himself notoriety. Rather, He stopped and made himself available to serve.
