TOGETHER GROUP QUESTIONS Read Hebrews 2:10-18. What is God’s Word saying to you in this passage? What is God’s heart for His people? In the sermon last week, we talked about the dangers of drifting (Read Hebrews 2:1-4). Which of the following 2 or 3 areas in your life show symptoms of drifting? (Relationship with Jesus has grown cold, No sense of awe, Desire for God’s Word is weak, Not focused on the eternal, Response to sin and evil is numb, Church and serving is a duty, The cross is common, I act like I don’t need people, I lack joy and gratitude, The fruits of the Spirit aren’t showing in my life) The author of Hebrews goes to great length to show his readers how much Jesus has done for us, because He didn’t want them to lose sight of the power and glory of the cross. What does the cross mean to you? Jesus is the Author of our Salvation! He went before us in obedience, suffering, and back into glory. Why did it have to be done this way? Was there an easier way? What does the word “propitiation” mean? Describe what would happen if God didn’t send Jesus to be our propitiation. Read 1 Cor. 10:13. What is one thing in your life that you’ve faced that (at the time at least) you didn’t think God could get you through? Because of what Jesus has done, how will He help us in our struggles and temptations?

TOGETHER GROUP QUESTIONS Read Psalm 150. What stands out to you? How does this Psalm reflect your life? In what ways do you wish it would reflect your life more? The sermon talked about how worship is an attitude, a posture, and a lifestyle. Describe how worship is these three things. The word worthy means “worth”-ship. Have everyone in your group go around and share (in their own words) what God is worth to them. Keep in mind that we praise God for who He is, and what He’s done. Read Colossians 3:15-17 and Romans 12:1-2. According to these verses, how should we be praising God in every area of our life? What hindrances stop you from living a lifestyle of worship? (examples: busyness, distraction, not trusting God, not surrendering, etc.) At the end of the lesson, Sean talked about thankfulness and said this quote: “ If worship is proclaiming God‘s worth, then thankfulness is proclaiming God’s worth to me.” Close your evening together in prayer, by going around the circle and each person praying to God about what they are thankful to Him for.
