Defender of the Weak

What does the Bible say about God’s heart for the vulnerable?
Defender of the Weak, a three-part course from Who’s Who in the Bible, explores how God calls His people to care for those on the margins of society. Through the lives of Moses, Ruth, Naomi, Boaz, and Jesus, this course reveals the golden thread of justice, compassion, and inclusion woven throughout Scripture.

 

Perfect for personal reflection, home groups, church study settings, small groups, and even training for ministry teams, this course offers biblical teaching, space for reflection, and practical ways to put faith into action. Each session also includes thoughtful questions to encourage prayer, discussion, and application.

Why This Course Matters

Throughout history, there have always been people overlooked or unheard. The Bible consistently highlights God’s deep concern for the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow — those most vulnerable in ancient times, and still on the margins today.

This course helps participants:

Grasp God’s heart for the vulnerable through the law, the prophets, and the life of Jesus.

Learn from biblical figures who defended and included the weak.

Reflect on how the Church can live out that calling today.

Discover the blessing God promises when His people show compassion.

Whether with a group or in personal study, Defender of the Weak encourages fresh insight and real action.
