Jesus Is Greater – Part 7: The Suffering High Priest

BIG IDEA:

Jesus is the only way to God

SCRIPTURES:

Hebrews 4:14-5:10, Psalm 2:7, Psalm 110:4

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

Q: Growing up, what were you taught about priests & their role?

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?

Q: Read Hebrews 4:14-5:10. Why is it important to understand Jesus as the

“great” High Priest & one who is both God & human?

Q: The passage says that we can approach God’s throne with confidence. Do

you experience an appropriate confidence when you talk with God, or do

you fall into either a shame-based approach or a flippant approach?

Q: What would be your “confession of faith” (statement of your core beliefs)?

Connect with Others (IN)...

Q: Suffering can lead to surrender & obstacles can lead to obedience. How can

we encourage each other and walk the life journey with each other in

meaningful ways? Who is someone you can connect with right now to

encourage or to find encouragement from?

Q: Jesus prayed for & agonized over us to bring us Life. How can we pick up

that same mission for those around us who don’t know Him yet?
