DAN - BIBLE STUDY GUIDE
Here are some varied activities for a Bible Study Group

To fight - or not? for the 'DEBORAH AND BARAK' page

Soldier

 

Deborah summoned the people of Dan to take part in a war they did not want to join. They refused to take part in fighting the Canaanites, enemies of the Hebrew people.

What responsibility do we have to fight in a war being fought by our country?

Spend some time thinking about this. What is your opinion? What reasons do you have to back this up? Now talk about this in a discussion group.

 

 

Worshipping False Gods - for the 'PAGAN SHRINE' page

Stacks of golden coins

 

The 1st Commandment forbids us to worship false gods: 'Thou shalt not worship false gods before Me.' But frequently we do.

What other gods do you worship?

  • Money?
  • Youthful looks?
  • Your job?
  • A perfect body?  

See TOP TEN WAYS TO HELL for some ideas.

Now name your own particular false gods.

Imagine you want to wean yourself off these gods. How would you go about doing it? Can you?  Is it possible?

 

The Promised Land

God told Moses that Dan was the northern limit of the 'Promised Land'.

Work out a definition of your own 'Promised Land'

  • for yourself
  • for all humanity

Jot down your ideas. Then rework them until you have a clear statement of what your 'Promised Land' would be.
