Application Groups

This Sunday in our 9:30AM Application Groups we will go over the following questions based on the 1/1/2012 sermon, "Prepare for 2012" from Hebrews 10:19-25:    

  • What are some reasons from this passage that we should enter into worship?   How do any of these inspire confidence in you that God wants you to draw near to Him?
  • How can your heart be continually washed and cleansed by God?
  • What are some things that tempt you to loosen your grip on the confession of the gospel?  Who is it that you are holding onto as you believe?   
  • Name some ways you have been stirred recently by others toward love and good works?
  • How does the Day drawing near encourage you to keep going?
