Judges Chapters 17-21
The Book of Judges, though a difficult read, confronts us with the ugly truth of how easily we turn away from God and calls us to acknowledge and confess our own sins instead of ignoring them or destroying others.
QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK: His Eyes: The Book of Judges - Don’t Look Away
When are times that you are tempted to look away and not speak up?
Read Judges 18-21. How bad have the sins of God’s people gotten at this point? What is the result of doing what is right in our own eyes?
We talked about two unhealthy responses to sin: ignoring it and destroying the sinner. Can you think of any examples in your own life, your community, or even current events, where people tend to ignore sin or focus on destroying the sinner rather than addressing the root of the problem?
Read 1 John 1:8-9. Rather than looking away from sin, what are we called to do? How does Jesus respond?

What Had happened at Grace this week.

Stewardship can be something that we overcomplicate. Keep it Simple; Jesus has saved you.
