This week we’ll be using the six big questions for each reading. These are five questions that you can ask of any text in the Bible. They are a great way to begin the process of learning how to study the Bible and apply it to your life.

Big Idea: Hasty vows bring pain.
Reading: Judges 11:1-11
Discussion: What stands out to you (or what do you like)? What do you not understand (of what do you not like)? What do you learn about God? What do you learn about people? What do you need to do in light of this passage? Who do you need to tell?
