The Beginning and The End

December 28, 2025

Series: The Bookends

Service: Sunday

  • When you reflect on 2025, what feels most lost, broken, or unfinished in your life or the world?
  • Where did you experience glimpses of hope or renewal this year?
  • Read Genesis 2:15–17 and Genesis 3:7–9. What changes in Adam and Eve after they sin—emotionally, relationally, and spiritually? What does hiding reveal about how shame works in our lives?
  • In Genesis 3:9, God asks, “Where are you?” Why do you think God asks a question instead of making an accusation? Why does God ask the question?
  • In Revelation 21:5, God says, “I am making everything new.” How is this kind of “new” different from starting over or throwing things away? What has God made new in your life?
  • Read Genesis 2:10–14, Revelation 22:1–5, and John 7:37–38. What similarities do you notice? What do you think “thirst” represents spiritually?
