Memory Verses: Psalm 1:1-2

 

Day 1: Read Heb. 4:15 and discuss: Explain what it means for Jesus to “identify with us.” Perhaps consider an example of someone who was able to encourage or comfort you because of their ability to relate. Or find an example of how you can relate to your children and connect it to Jesus’s ability to relate to – or, “identify with us”.

Day 2: Read Heb. 12:3-4, 4:15 and discuss: What does it means that Jesus knows what it’s like to be tempted? In what ways – regarding temptation – is Jesus not like us?  

Day 3: Read Heb. 4:16 and discuss: In what ways is Jesus the perfect High Priest? Describe what earthly high priests could not do. What does it mean to approach God’s throne “boldly”? Take some time to consider things (people, actions, etc.) that are bold and help your children, especially, understand the precious gift of free access that we have to God’s throne of grace.

Memory Verses: James 1:4-5

Day 1: Pastor Scott said the book of Hebrews is about Jesus being “better.” As a family skim through the book and look for the different aspects of the Old Testament that Jesus is better than. Talk about how Jesus is better than each of these elements or individuals.

Day 2: Read Hebrews 4:14-15, 1 Timothy 2:5, and 1 John 2:1 and discuss: How is Jesus a better High Priest than the earthly high priests? Discuss the titles “mediator” and “intercessor.” What would you want in an intercessor or mediator? Do you know people that seem to occupy these offices in a secular sense?

Day 3: Read Hebrews 2:17-18 and 4:14-15 and discuss: What does it mean that Jesus can sympathize with us? In what ways can He sympathize with us? What do we experience that He experienced? Are there ways He does not sympathize with us? How does it make you feel toward Christ thinking of what He was willing to do so He can sympathize with us?

(Part IV) Saul, who only confessed because he wanted something (1 Sam 15:24, 30).

(Part V): Saul, who meant what he said in the moment.

Memory Verses: Philippians 2:10-11

Day 1: Read Matt. 27:1-3 and discuss: Parents help your children understand what it means to “underestimate” something. Perhaps tell them a story about something you’ve underestimated. Ask them questions about situations in their own lives that turned out differently than they expected. Make the connection between your & their experiences to what Judas must’ve been thinking when he underestimated the consequences of his decision to betray Jesus.

Day 2: Read 2 Cor. 7:10 & Matt. 27:5 and discuss: What are the two wrong ways to think about forgiveness? What is our forgiveness (for those who profess to be Christians) not based on? What are we tempted to think our forgiveness is based on? What is our forgiveness actually based on?

Day 3: Read Matt. 26:58-75 and discuss: What are some of the similarities between Judas and Peter? Which men from the Old Testament could you compare each one to? What was the key difference between Judas and Peter? Take turns reading the different accounts from each of the gospels that tell the stories of Judas’s (worldly) sorrow and Peter’s (godly) sorrow.

Memory Verses: Philippians 2:5-7

Day 1: Read 2 Cor. 7:10 & discuss: what are some characteristics of godly sorrow? …of worldly sorrow? What does each type of sorrow produce? What sorts of things are we prone to think if what we have is actually just worldly sorrow? What should we be thinking if we have godly sorrow?

Day 2: Read 2 Sam. 22:6-8 & discuss: What evidence from this passage would you use to point to Saul’s worldly sorrow? Examine yourself and ask: When was the last time that I demonstrated a worldly sorrow? What was the situation? What was the outcome? If your sorrow transformed into a godly sorrow, how did it do that? How is self-pity actually a form of pride? Use examples from these sermons or elsewhere in Scripture?

Day 3: Read 1 Sam. 26:1-27:4 & discuss: What were Saul’s expectations regarding his future relationship with David? What action did David take, or not take, in response to Saul’s words? What could he have done, instead? What role does forgiveness play in these sorts of situations in our own lives?
