Q: Read Hebrews 12:18-29 & Revelation 21:1-7. How do these passages help

us understand what heaven will be like? How do these descriptions line up

with what culture or other religions think it will be like?

Q: Hebrews 12:25 pleads with readers to not refuse/rejectthe One (Jesus)

Who is calling out to them. How do you think Jesus has/is calling out to you?

How much do you think about the unimaginable consequences of

refusing/rejecting Him?

Q: Hebrews 12:26-27 says that both heaven & earth will be shaken & God will

rebuild it to perfection. This is a hard question, but are there things you hold

onto & want to keep from God & are those things getting in the way between

you & God?
