“Running our Race by Faith”

Hebrews 12:1-3

September 6, 2015

What is the heart of the Christian way of life? Why is this so?
Do you agree that Hebrews 11 is mainly about the faithfulness of God? Why or why not?
What issue is the author addressing in Hebrews 12:1-3? (See 2:1-4; 5:11-6:12)
What does the author want the people to do about this problem? Do you think his counsel will work? Why or why not?
What weights and sins would the Lord address in your life at this time? What specific steps would he have you take to lay them aside?
Are you looking to the cloud of witnesses through the Word and letting them strengthen your faith? How would the Lord have you strengthen your time in the Word right now?
Are you leaning on your brothers and sisters in Christ and doing life in Christ together with them? How would the Lord have you strengthen these relationships right now?
Are you fixating upon Jesus and pondering his way of life? How would the Lord have you strengthen this aspect of your walk with him right now?
