Why does it mean more, when you are carrying a burden, to be helped by someone who can relate to your struggle?
(Consider 2nd Corinthians 1:4)

4. Read Hebrews 4:16
How does this verse motivate your prayer life? Do you have a regular plan for prayer?

5. Digging Deeper into Doctrine
How do these Scriptures further inform our understanding of the significance of Christ’s ascension?

Harvest Growth Guide for March 15-20

Hebrews 4:1-13


1.  From creation, God has built into our world the need for rest.
What is the value of rest for humans in general? For Christians in particular?

2. Read Hebrews 4:1-2
Although there is a sinful kind of fear, there is also a reverential kind of fear that the Bible commends.

3. Read Hebrews 4:3-11
What does the Bible tells us about God’s eternal, heavenly place of rest?
(Consider Hebrews 11:10, 16, Revelation 21:1-4, 22-27, 22:1-5)

4. Read Hebrews 4:12-13
How is the Bible unlike all other books?
(Consider 1st Thessalonians 2:13, 1st Peter 1:23, Ephesians 6:17, Jeremiah 23:29)
Do you have a plan for reading and applying God’s Word regularly?

5. Digging Deeper into Doctrine
How do these Scriptures further inform our understanding of the inspiration of the Bible?
2nd Timothy 3:15-17, 2nd Peter 1:20-21, Acts 4:25

Pray for one another: That the Lord will faithfully lead us home to His heavenly place of rest.  
 
Weekly Scripture Memory:
"And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name." (Philippians 2:8-9)
