Hebrews 6:9 - …beloved, we feel sure of better things – things that belong to salvation.

Last Sunday, we saw in Scripture that the holiness of God’s people rests in the sovereignty of God. Hebrews 6:1-3 explains that we need to go on to maturity and this we will do if God permits.

This Sunday we will see that the hope of God’s people rests in the promise of our faithful God. Let us remember - 2 Corinthians 1:20 – For all the promises of God find their Yes in Him (Jesus).

Read Hebrews 6:9-20

What does the writer of Hebrews desire for believers? (verses 10-11)

Why does the writer have this desire? (verse 12)

Last week, we saw an accusation that the Jews had become dull in hearing (5:11). Now in Hebrews 6:12, the encouragement to the Jews is to not be sluggish. This term sluggish refers to dull in believing and living.

In verse 12, who are we encouraged to imitate? In verse 12, what characterizes these folks?

What is the full hope of our assurance mentioned in verse 11?

Read verses 13-20

What (who) is the foundation of the assurance of our hope?

May God bless your time in His Word this week, and may we join together this Sunday to grow together in Christ and worship Him in Spirit and in truth.
