Harvest Growth Guide for January 18-30
Mike Moses
Hebrews 1:4-14
*This Growth Guide may be used anytime the next two weeks. We hope you will join us for our annual Missions Conference January 22-25.
1. Jesus is better - not only better than bad things, but also better than good things.
What are the good things in your life that threaten to replace your devotion to Jesus?
2. Read Hebrews 1:4-6
What is remarkable about angels? Why would people be tempted to worship them?
(Consider Isaiah 6:2-4, Psalm 103:20, 2nd Peter 2:11a)
3. Read Hebrews 1:7-12
In verses 10-12 the author applies Psalm 102, about Yahweh, to Jesus. What does this tell us about the early church’s view of Jesus’ deity?
4. Read Hebrews 1:13-14
In what ways do angels serve God’s people? (Consider Acts 12:7-10, Psalm 91:11, Matthew 18:10, Luke 16:22)
How can these verses help us appreciate God’s multi-faceted provision for us?
5. Digging Deeper into Doctrine (time permitting)
How do these Scriptures further inform our understanding of angels?
Colossians 1:16, Psalm 103:20, 1st Peter 1:12, Revelation 5:11-12, 19:10
Pray for one another: That we would not allow our appreciation of what is good to replace our devotion to what is Best.
Weekly Scripture Memory:
"But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born,
not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.” (John 1:12-13)

Harvest Growth Guide for January 11-16
Mike Moses
Hebrews 1:1-3
1. What are the loudest voices calling for our attention in our world today?
2. Read Hebrews 1:1-2a
Why should a Christian be content with the written Word of God, and not desire new revelation?
(Consider also 2nd Peter 1:3, Colossians 2:2-3, Revelation 22:18)
3. Read Hebrews 1:2b-3a
How does the beginning of verse 3 affirm the equality of God the Father and God the Son, while maintaining their distinctness as two persons of the Trinity?
(See also John 1:1-2)Why are both of these truths important?
4. Read Hebrews 1:3b
What is the significance of Jesus sitting down after his making His sacrifice on the cross?
(See Hebrews 10:11-14)How can this truth strengthen your assurance of salvation?
5. Digging Deeper into Doctrine (time permitting)
How do these Scriptures further inform our understanding of God's active sustaining of all things?
Colossians 1:17, Nehemiah 9:6, Acts 17:28, Psalm 145:15
Pray for one another: That we would listen intently to the message of the Son of God.
