    Questions to think more about;

  • How has God been working in your heart as we consider Hebrews 13v1-19?
  • What has encouraged you as you consider the different areas we are to persevere in?
  • In what areas are you feeling particularly convicted?
  • Why is it vital to remember that the incarnation, crucifixion and resurrection changes everything?
  • Memory verse: Hebrews 13 v 1-2

    “Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers.”
