Further Study

  • In his sermon, David said, “What God was doing in the desert with his people, He does even more fulfillingly in us, through Christ.” Spend a few minutes reading Hebrews 9. What role does the Gospel play in your understanding of salvation? How does it shape your understanding of what it means to grow in your faith?
  • If you are a believer who is struggling to grow, do you see the Gospel as a message primarily for unbelievers? Do you see God primarily as law-giver or redeemer? Spend some time meditating on Hebrews 13:20-21. Notice that it is not a list of laws that equips us, rather, it is the peace of God: “Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus our Lord, equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.” (Also see Romans 8.)

  • David talked about how God’s guidance is essential for His people to move and follow Him. As believers, the primary source of God’s guidance is His word. If you’ve not begun a plan of studying the Bible, we have a resource that may help. Whatever you do, dig deep into the word. As David says, “we believe the Spirit of God uses the word of God to make us more like the Son of God.”
