Hebrews 9:22 talks about the importance of forgiveness through sacrifice. Why do you think it can be difficult for people to accept God’s forgiveness or forgive themselves? Have you ever experienced that?
Hebrews 9:14 talks about our being cleansed so we can serve the living God. What are ways we see Jesus making a difference in ours and others lives? Is there evidence of that cleansing? As Mark shared last week, our testimonies of God’s work can be powerful reminders for us and others of God’s powerful actions in our lives.
If you’ve attended Bible camp before, share a favorite memory or time when you felt especially close to God.
Did that experience change your faith or how you lived when you returned home? What long term impact have you seen? How can we support and encourage these sort of camp experiences for our church family?
Being washed by Jesus give us each a fresh start (over and over again!). Is there something in your life you need to surrender to god, or an area where you want to grow closer to Him? What is one step you can take this week to live out your faith?
