The Book of Hebrews square

Prepare your heart for the Sermon by looking through these suggestions that will assist you in making the most of our time together hearing God's Word.

You will find suggestions for thinking more critically through the passage, meditating more intently on the text, and prayerfully seeking wisdom to deepen your understanding of the passage to be preached this Sunday.

Carefully Think

  • What are we not to be carried away by?
  • Where are the body of the animals burned, according to v. 11?
  • Where did Jesus suffer?
  • From v. 13, what is to be our response to Jesus’s suffering?
  • What kind of city are we seeking?

Prayerfully Meditate

  • From looking at the end of v. 9, what kind of diverse and strange teachings might the author of Hebrews have in mind?
  • Why do the people of v. 10 have no right to eat?
  • Where did Jesus suffer “outside the gate?”
  • How do we today follow Jesus “outside the camp, bearing His reproach”? What does that look like?
  • What city is the “city which is to come?”
