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: With faith in God, what is our ultimate goal? (become stronger, be an example, grow deeper, gain intimacy, etc.) What was the outcome for the people described in Hebrews 11?
