God: Half-Hearted Obedience = No Obedience D. The People's Disobedience Brings Sorrow (Judges 2:2b-5) II. Obedience Hides God's Glory From the Next Generation (Judges 2:6-11) A. Review of generation-shift: Joshua's Farewell, to Bochim (Judges 2:6-10) B. Joshua's Generation Fails to Teach Children to Know God (Deut. 6:6-7) C. Our Generation? (Ps. 78:3-4). Parents: 1. Read & talk about the Bible w/ your children 2. Tell your children stories about God D. Grandparents: What's Your Legacy? Ushers God's People Into Slavery (Judges 2:12-15) A. Evil + Serving Idols & Abandoning the Lord (Judges 2:11-13) B. Lord's Punishment: Giving People Over (Judges 2:14) C. Lord: Faithful to Bless & Judge (Judges 2:15) D.
