Share His Holiness | Hebrews 12:3-17

Sermon Outline If we endure in holiness, it will be God's holiness… ...so consider the Son’s enduring redemption. (3-4) …so endure in the Father’s loving discipline. (5-11) …so strive for peace together. (12-17) 4 Discipline Dismissals The Fate Card “Meh, it is what it is. That’s life.” The Entitled Card “Meh, God has to forgive me anyway.” The Demon Card “Ugh, it’s Satan again!” The Victim Card “Ugh, God is picking on me!”   Discussion/Application 1. Holiness, as Scripture uses it is not self-interested or a word for the "self-sufficient". How have you heard the word or concept of holiness abused? What does holiness mean in Scripture? 2. Heart Diagnostic: which "discipline dismissal" card do you tend to "play"? The Fate Card “Meh, it is what it is. That’s life.”? The Entitled Card “Meh, God has to forgive me anyway.”? The Demon Card “Ugh, it’s Satan again!”? The Victim Card “Ugh, God is picking on me!”? 3. What is standing in the way of your striving for peace with a brother or sister in Christ? Who do you need to make peace with this week?
