This week in Sunday School, students will study Deborah, one of the Old Testament judges,  Through Deborah, Barak, and Jael, God brought about victory for His people and freed them from cruel oppression; through Christ’s death on the cross, God brought about our victory and freed us from sin, death, and the devil.  Parents could ask, “How did God use Deborah to help His people?  How does God help His people today?”

Next week in Sunday School:  Gideon’s amazing victory over the enemies of God’s people recorded in Judges 6-7 will be the subject of next week’s Sunday School lesson.  Christ, the light of the world, overcomes the darkness of sin, death, and the devil, even as God overcame Israel’s enemy while the light streamed from the lamps of Gideon’s men.  Discuss with your children, “What do you think was the most amazing part of Gideon’s victory?  Why is it important that Jesus won the victory over sin and death?”
