Kurt Bost | August 03, 2025

Scripture: Judges 10:6–11:40

Main Idea: We suffer misery when we forsake the Lord to do what’s right in our own eyes. ____________________ 1. The misery of idolatry (10:6-16) - Idols chosen and cherished _____________________ Apply: 1. There is no spiritual neutrality when we choose to walk in sin. 2. Understand the difference between godly grief and worldly grief. _____________________ 2. The misery of self-sufficiency (10:17-11:28) - The call of Jephthah _____________________ Apply: 1. Beware of self-sufficiency which always leads to misery. 2. Confess the ways in which you seek the Lord only when you need something from him. _____________________ 3. The misery of biblical infidelity (11:29-40) - The vow of Jephthah ______________________ Apply: 1. Beware of sin that can be carried out with seemingly spiritual motives. 2. Study to know God's word, not merely basic concepts and a few proof texts.
