Onelifechurch   -   April 22, 2022

Intro Question:

  • What are some things that provoke you or get on your nerves?

Lesson Intro:

This week we continue in our Hope Is Here series. We look at how we can have hope and freedom from sin through Christ. Because of that freedom it allows us to live in community with other followers of Jesus. This provides hope by pushing one another towards love and good works. 

Read and Discuss:

Hebrews 10:19-22

19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have boldness to enter the sanctuary through the blood of Jesus— 20 he has inaugurated for us a new and living way through the curtain (that is, through his flesh)—21 and since we have a great high priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed in pure water. 

  • What does this passage mean?
  • What gives us boldness to enter into God’s presence?
  • What are some reasons people may not choose to enter into God’s presence?
  • What are some ways we can draw near to God?

Hebrews 10:23-25

23 Let us hold on to the confession of our hope without wavering, since he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider one another in order to provoke love and good works, 25 not neglecting to gather together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day approaching.

Memory Verse: 

Hebrews 10:24-25

24 And let us consider one another in order to provoke love and good works, 25 not neglecting to gather together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day approaching.

Closing prayer:

Spend time praying for those who have become comfortable with not coming to church anymore or just coming and sitting on the sidelines. Pray for boldness in being able to talk to them and provoke them toward love and good works.
