October 11, 2026 • God Meets Us Before We Can See the Way
Word in Rhythm™
Annual Theme: God’s Unchanging Hand
Quarterly Theme: The Hand That Establishes
Week 6: Judges — God Meets Us
Focal Scripture: Judges 13:1–7, 24–25, KJV
Lesson Emphasis: God Provides Leaders Called to Specific Tasks
Memory Verse — Judges 13:5, KJV
“For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.”
Aim for Change: By the end of the lesson, we will
RECOUNT the details of Samson’s birth and calling,
EMPATHIZE with the emotions Samson probably experienced regarding lifestyle restrictions imposed on him by others, and
REFLECT on ways unforeseen circumstances prepare people for leadership roles today.
Lesson Thesis: God meets us within circumstances we did not choose, calls us to serve His purposes, and invites us to respond with obedient dependence.
