Begin group time with 2 minutes of silent prayer. Assume a comfortable position and repeat the phrase “Come Holy Spirit” to yourself as you breathe. If your mind wanders, that's okay—simply notice it, repeat the phrase, and return your focus. After the silence, invite someone from the group to close in prayer.

Q1 - Share a time when you thought, “I didn’t know it was going to be like this.” How did that experience challenge your faith?

READ OUT LOUD AS A GROUP: Hebrews 1:1-2:1
As you read, assign members to look up and read the Old Testament Scriptures quoted in Hebrews 1:

• Hebrews 1:5a quotes Psalm 2:7
• Hebrews 1:5b quotes 2 Samuel 7:14; 1 Chronicles 17:13
• Hebrews 1:6 quotes Deuteronomy 32:43
• Hebrews 1:7 quotes Psalm 104:4
• Hebrews 1:9 quotes Psalm 45:6,7
• Hebrews 1:12 quotes Psalm 102:25-27
• Hebrews 1:13 quotes Psalm 110:1
• As you read through the passage and the Old Testament Scriptures that are quoted, what stood out to you most about the way Jesus is described? What insights do the Scriptures give you into God, Man, and a life in Christ?

Q2 - Since Jesus is greater than the angels and holds superior authority, the message He brings is of utmost importance. How does this truth impact you personally? Do you feel the weight of this call to not drift away? Does your life reflect the weight of this call? Where are you tempted to look for authority outside of the word of God when it comes to forming your opinions and worldview?

DISCUSS: “For believers, the danger is not that you might reject Jesus. It’s that without paying attention, you will neglect Jesus.”

Q3 - Are there small or subconscious habits in your life that might be deforming you spiritually? What practical steps could help you combat these tendencies?

DISCUSS: “People do not drift toward Holiness. Apart from grace-driven effort, people do not gravitate toward godliness, prayer, obedience to Scripture, faith, and delight in the Lord. We drift toward compromise and call it tolerance; we drift toward disobedience and call it freedom; we drift toward superstition and call it faith. We cherish the indiscipline of lost self-control and call it relaxation; we slouch toward prayerlessness and delude ourselves into thinking we have escaped legalism; we slide toward godlessness and convince ourselves we have been liberated.”
