Opening Question

What stood out to you from Sunday’s message?  

 

Summary

Read Hebrews 13:1-25

This final chapter is an epilogue, a final word after the main content is done. In it he gives many very practical instructions for living out the Christian life. In the end, Hebrews cannot remain in the realm of theology but makes a big difference in our everyday living. Hebrews calls us to be a counter-cultural community, united together and living by different values as we look to the city to come.
