step one

This Weekly Bible Passage will be the basis of next Sunday’s sermon. Spend some time studying it prior to Sunday and see what God is revealing to you in it.

Hebrews 4:12-16

12 For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrating as far as the separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 No creature is hidden from him, but all things are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.

Our Great High Priest

14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens—Jesus the Son of God—let us hold fast to our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way as we are, yet without sin. 16 Therefore, let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in time of need.

Step two

Join us on Sunday for this critical second step in encountering God through His word as we gather together as a church family.

step three

Questions to discuss and process as a Discipleship Group, based on the previous Weekly Bible Passage and Sunday Sermon.

Encourage one another towards a deeper, more vibrant relationship with Jesus.

These discussion questions are based on the scripture reading from the past week (Matthew 9:35-38), and the talk on June 7th, 2026.

1. Who are some people in your life that don't know Jesus? How do you view them? What would it look like for you to view them with compassion like Jesus does?

2. What challenges do you face when it comes to sharing about your faith or telling people about Jesus? How can you rely on the Holy Spirit for strength in those areas of weakness?

3. What would it look like for you to bring the Biblical call to be a disciple maker into your job, hobbies, and relationships? Do you regularly pray that the Lord would move in those areas?
