#BibleStudy Expressions of Faith (with applications). Help’s at Hand

 

The suggested timeline for each Bible study in this series is one week.

Friday

Read the entire section or chapter of Hebrews that includes the printed verses.

Read the Bible study bullet points and the Scripture immediately following.

Then Express Your Faith this Week by completing the three tasks.

Pray every day. There is a suggestion for how to focus your prayers.

Think. An idea or two designed to get you thinking about Scripture.

Do. An activity to complete. Ranging from making a list to drawing a picture, this is will help you apply what you’ve been thinking. You might want to work on this on days 3-7. Each “Do” is downloadable for you to print and write on.

Days 2-7

Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3. You don’t have to 

•  I taught high school and college classes full-time for thirty-nine years. I know full well that some of you independent souls will not follow the above-recommended process. 
• If you’re one of those, chances are you’ll never read this bullet point.

 Ultimately, how you complete this Bible study book is less important than completing it. Nevertheless, I hope you’ll give the recommended process a try before you decide not to follow it.

You might be asking, “What’s with the bullet points?” Then, again, you might not be asking that. Whether you are asking or not, here’s the reason.

Each bullet point focuses on a single idea in the daily Bible study. 

Most are one sentence long.

You’re more likely to read the entire bulleted list than you are to read two full paragraphs.

Help’s at Hand

¹⁷ For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. ¹⁸ Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. 

 Hebrews 2:17-18

·      Did you ever get an offer for help from someone, only to find out that the helper knew less than you did about the problem?

·      Christ based his help on experience, not theory.

§  He was made like His siblings.

o  That’s you and me!

§  He suffered.

§  He was tempted.

·      The end result is that you can get qualified help from Christ when

§  You’re hurting.

§  You’re being tempted.

§  You’re in any human situation!

Don’t be afraid to ask

—or too stubborn to ask—

for His help.

Express Your Faith this Week

·      Pray every day. Thank Jesus for his willingness to give up His heavenly existence and live as a human being for a time, so He can base His help on experience.

·      Think. Read all of Hebrews Chapters 1 and 2. What verses stand out from the rest? Why? 

·      Do. Write your own bullet-point devotional. Include a title and ways to Express Your Faith this Week. Add more bullets if you need to. Even if you can’t figure out what to do besides the bullet points, do those!
