Joshua, Judges & Ruth
Journey from the conquest of Canaan to the failures of the judges and Ruth’s redemption, and see how God stays faithful when his people don’t.
The Mission 66 Study Guide for Joshua, Judges and Ruth follows Israel from the edge of the Promised Land through a turbulent period of repeated failure to a story of redemption. In Joshua, you’ll see Joshua take up leadership after Moses, with the call to be strong and courageous. You’ll also watch Israel cross the Jordan, see the walls of Jericho fall, learn from Rahab’s faith and Achan’s sin, and see the land divided among the tribes, ending with Joshua’s farewell and the renewal of the covenant. In Judges, you’ll meet Deborah, Gideon, Jephthah, and Samson, and follow the cycle of disobedience, punishment, repentance, and restoration as God raises up judges to deliver his people. The guide closes with Ruth, whose loyalty to Naomi and the care of Boaz, her kinsman-redeemer, turn tragedy into joy.
