Hebrews 12:4-11

First listen to the sermon (posts Sun. afternoon). Then use the ideas below to help you and your group apply what the Lord is teaching you.

Share about a time from your life where discipline had a positive impact? What about a discipline that had a negative impact?

• What was one thing from this week’s sermon that impacted/challenged me?

• Treasuring God: How does this passage lead me to see God more clearly and value Him more deeply?

• Being Transformed: What do I need the Lord to change within me, as I seek to apply these Truths?

• Loving Others: Who do I have opportunity to live this out with this week?

• Pursuing Unity: How can we take a step in this area to knit us more closely together?

Encourage a time of open prayer where everyone participates using the “2023 Heart Cries.” (God move, have mercy, help or thanks! )

Maybe it’s, “God, would you move in my heart so that _______. Or “God, have mercy on me when I don’t believe you _______. Or, God help me to know how to live this out with _______ this week . Or maybe, “God, thank you for loving me, even when _______.
