Harvest Growth Guide for February 15-20
Mike Moses
Hebrews 2:10-18
 
1.  Think of a time someone “came down to your level” in order to help you in some significant way.
What encouragement can we find in Christ’s willingness to do that for every believer?

2.  Read Hebrews 2:10
What similarities can we see between God’s creation of the universe, and God's work of salvation?
(Consider 2nd Corinthians 4:6, 5:17, Romans 6:4)

3. Read Hebrews 2:11-14a
Jesus is truly God, and became truly man. Why is this truth sometimes difficult for our minds to grasp?
 Discuss how these Scriptures emphasize the true humanity of Christ: Luke 2:52, 22:42, John 4:6, 11:35.

4. Read Hebrews 2:14b-18
How does Christ help us when we are tempted?
(Consider Hebrews 4:14-16, 12:1-2, John 14:15-17, 1st John 3:1-3)
 
5. Digging Deeper into Doctrine
How do these Scriptures further inform our understanding of Christ’s incarnation?
John 1:14, Philippians 2:7-8, Luke 1:34-35

Pray for one another: That we would look to Jesus, the founder of our salvation.  
 
Weekly Scripture Memory:
"For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
On God rests my salvation and my glory; my mighty rock, my refuge is God. Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him;
God is a refuge for us."      (Psalm 52:5-8)
