You Do New

January 4, 2026

Series: The Bookends

Service: Sunday

When was a time you didn’t take someone’s good advice? How did the situation turn out? 

Scripture: Read Judges 1:1 and Judges 21:25 NLT

Observation:

  • What stands out to you when you hear how Judges begins versus how it ends?
  • What do you think contributed to the shift? 
  • How do you think God felt during this time in the life of the nation of Israel?

Application:

  • What do you think it means practically to “do what seems right in your own eyes”?
  • Where do you most feel the pull toward “You do you” thinking in your own life?
    • Decisions?
    • Relationships?
    • Time?
    • Faith practices?

Mark 2:18-22 describes Jesus, who came to bring about something NEW. As you consider the year ahead, what might God want to do NEW in your life?

Prayer

  • Ask God to reveal one area where you’ve been doing what seems right in your own eyes
  • Ask Jesus, our King, to give you insight into the New He wants to invite you into this year.
