TODAY:

Jesus Is Greater: Intro to Hebrews / The Greatness of Jesus

BIG IDEA:

Jesus reveals, redeems & rules

SCRIPTURES:

Hebrews 1, John 1:1-4, 14:9, 19:30, Colossians 1:15-17, 2 Sam 7:14

Deuteronomy 32:43, Psalm 2:7, 104:4, 45:6-7, 102:25-27, 110:1

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

Q: What is your natural tendency when you only hear part of a story about

something?If you tend to fill in the gaps, how do you decide what

information to include or exclude?

Q: How do the Scriptures/concepts from this week help you grow as a disciple

who loves God, loves people & serves the world (lives on incarnational

mission) in everyday life?

Q: Based on these Scriptures, how can you move from unbelief to belief, from

just knowing to actually doing in your life?

Connect with God (UP)...

Q: Read Hebrews 1. Have you ever thought about how God actually wants to

reveal Himself to you? Why is the incarnation of Jesus such a better way to

reveal Himself than through human or angelic messengers?

Q: What kind of things attempt to put themselves in between you & God?

Q: False teachers tried to convince the audience of Hebrews that people had

to access God through angels. What versions of this do you see today?

Q: How do you see people or religions trying to present a “lesser” version of

Jesus than what the Bible says He is? Why do you think they do this?

Connect with Others (IN)...

Q: Jesus is Revelation, Savior & King. How do these Truths effect how you do

your normal life? How do they guide us as a church?

Connect with the World (OUT)...

Q: We live in a world that is hungry for meaning & identity. How can we live

out & share these Truths with the people around us in helpful ways?
