The Big Story | Judges: Forgetting What God Has Done

As we begin our week in the book of Judges, we step into a turning point in Israel’s story. A new generation has entered the Promised Land—but something essential has been lost. Judges opens not with chaos or rebellion, but with forgetfulness. When the memory of God’s saving work fades, devotion fades with it, and divided loyalty quietly takes root.Key ThemesJudges is not a book of heroes, but a mirror showing the consequences of forgetting GodIsrael’s drift begins with memory loss, not open rebellionServing “other lords” often starts alongside continued belief in GodDivided allegiance eventually corrupts worship, leadership, and communityReflectionWhat helps you remember what God has done for you—not just what you know about Him?Where might subtle forgetfulness be shaping your faith or priorities?PrayerGod, thank You for the ways You have rescued and sustained me. Help me remember Your grace and live it out in visible, life-giving ways. Give me humility as I seek to pass on faith honestly so that those who come after me may truly know You. Amen.Hear the message for this week's devotional on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ChristFellowshipMcKinneyGet the written devotional at: https://cfhome.org/EGDIf you are in the North Dallas area and would like to join us for services each week, you can find all the information at https://cfhome.org.
