The Grove 10 Years – Week 1

Key Points

Jesus is better — He is supreme over the prophets, the priesthood, and every rival, so hear Him, embrace Him, and worship Him.

1. 01 Ten years of this church exist by the grace of God and the sacrifice of His people, and gratitude is the only fitting response.
2. 02 Jesus is better — supreme over the prophets, the angels, Moses, Joshua, the high priest, the tabernacle, the law, and the sacrifice.
3. 03 Jesus is our Prophet: God has spoken to us in His Son, so listen to Him above every competing voice.
4. 04 Jesus is our Priest: He accomplished cleansing for sins once for all and sat down, so embrace Him by faith.
5. 05 Jesus is our King: heir, Creator, exact representation, and Sustainer of all things, so worship Him and submit to His authority.

Discussion Questions

1. 01 Hebrews was written to believers tempted to go back to what they came out of. What do you quietly go back to for security or identity instead of resting in Christ alone?
2. 02 Jesus said, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me." Which competing voices — social media, peers, fears, anxious or emotional thoughts — most often drown out His word in your week, and what would it look like to filter them through Scripture?
3. 03 The sermon said Christ "has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified." Where can you point to God actively changing you right now, and where have you settled for standing still?
4. 04 Christ upholds all things by the word of His power. What anxious thought in your life does that truth directly speak to, and what would it change if you believed it on Monday?
5. 05 Every knee will bow. What is the practical difference between bowing before the King in gratitude now and bowing before Him at the end because you have no choice?
