“What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” A.W. Tozer

John 1:1-5; John 1:10-13

Hebrews

  • Author
    • Not Paul but definitely someone discipled by him (second generation Hebrews 2:3-4)
    • Barnabas/Apollos/someone else?
  • Audience
    • Bound by loss (Hebrews 10:32-34)
    • Fruitful care for one another (Hebrews 6:9-10)
    • Danger
      • Drifting/neglect (Hebrews 2:1-3)
      • Failure (Hebrews 4:1; 12)
      • Faltering (Hebrews 10:35-36)
      • Disillusioned
  • Solutions
    • Focus on Jesus–GREATER THAN
    • Framed by Scripture, shaped after God’s thoughts

When we see Jesus as He truly is, all of our other priorities fall into place behind Him.

  • What expectations did we have of God this week?
  • How are we seeking God to grasp our part in the whole picture?
  • Who will we journey together with this week?
