Jephthah rose from rejection to lead Israel, but he made a rash vow from a mistaken view of God. Faith begins with knowing God’s word, not bargaining with him.

FAMILY CONVERSATION

Talk About It as a Family

There is no need to rush toward a perfect answer. Take turns listening to each person’s thoughts and experiences.

  1. Remember

    Memory quiz: Before battle, did Jephthah ask for wisdom, or did he make a rash conditional vow?

  2. Talk Together

    What misunderstanding lies behind trying to bargain with God—“If You do this, I will do that”?

  3. Try It This Week

    Choose a family sentence to use before making a quick promise, such as, “I will think and pray before I answer.”
