Thanks for the great time last week eating food, fellowshipping, and digging into Hebrews. There were a lot of challenges in our Hebrews passages last week (Hebrews 5:11-6:11). The author was warning the people in this church about the dangers of falling away from the truth and from God. At one time they were all taught the principles of following Christ and were growing, and yet now they have lost ground and are lacking strength in even the basics of Christ. We are in church and can become complacent with what we've learned and can try to live on "milk" day by day, just as these people were being called out for. All of these warnings are probably much more targeted to us than we may be comfortable admitting. We must not too quickly distance ourselves from these warnings if we are to benefit from their purpose, which is to stir us up and prod us on in our pursuit to grow in Christ and in our living for Christ.

This week we're moving on through chapter 6 and into chapter 7 where we hear about Melchizedek. Here is the study sheet to help you ask questions and dig into this part until we meet to discuss it as a group.
Hebrews Study Questions, Sheet 5, Heb.6:9-7:10

Also, its encouraging to hear that many of you have comitted to meeting together to dig into these passages before Thursday. As you have seen, if you want to get more out of these studies, it takes some time and some digging. Its even more effective when we can learn from each other during the week, so keep it up.

Looking forward to Thursday. 7:30 PM at the Drent's place.
