“The Perfect High Priest – Part 2” 

2/23/2014

0 Comments

 
Scripture Reading: Hebrews 5:1-10; 7:1-28

Memory Verse:  Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.  Hebrews 7:25
As you continue to study about our Perfect High Priest, ask Him for understanding as you study - take time to focus on Him as He intercedes for you.

Review this Week’s MEMORY VERSE (Heb 7:25).  Meditate, Review! Share your verse with a friend this week!

DISCUSS: What did I learn in the Sunday School lesson and the sermon about “Jesus makes us acceptable?”

Meditate upon (Heb 5:1-10; 7) using 2PROAPT (on the back or at the bottom if online).  Be still before Him and think about what you have just read. In your own words, summarize what the passages are saying about your High Priest.
  • In what sense did Jesus “learn” obedience through suffering; what was the result? (Heb 5:8-9;Mt 26:36-46)
  • How has the experience of suffering in your life affected your relationship with God?
  • Read the account of Melchizedek’s encounter with Abraham (Heb 7) in the context of (Ge 14); list at least 5 observations about Melchizedek; how is the priesthood of Christ similar? (Ps 110:4)
Apply the Word
  • Is there something that you believe God is calling you to do?  How are you responding to Him?
  • What is your attitude when you see others struggling with sin or dealing with a spiritual issue?
Respond in Prayer

Lord I trust you to fully and completely save me; help me to understand what that means. (Heb 7:25)

(Resource – Faith Foundations Study Guide, Alan Perkins)

Intimacy with God: Your Quiet Time –2PROAPT

Two key elements in having intimacy with God are prayer and the Word.  We come to the Word of God not just to read it, but to understand what He is saying to us and to determine how He wants us to apply it to our lives; asking Him for the strength and will to apply it.  Finally, writing it down and sharing it with another so that they might also learn.


Study a short passage (couple of paragraphs) using an acrostic called: 2PROAPT. 
  • Pray – Ask the Holy Spirit to illuminate the passage and give you understanding. Remember, your goal is to meet with Him, so spend time in Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication (ACTS) – the supplication is to understand the Word, to know Him and to enjoy Him!
  • Preview – Read the passage quickly; what’s the topic or theme? Did you notice anything in particular?
  • Read – Read the passage again more slowly.  Is God trying to tell you something?  Is there something you haven’t noticed before?  
  • Observe – Read the passage again out loud.  Look at each word; each phrase; underline or mark key words; vary the emphasis you place on the words.  What is He saying to you; what is He asking you to do?  Paraphrase the passage in your own words.
  • Apply – Is there a command to obey; a sin to confess or an action to take?  How can you apply this scripture to your life?  Does He want you to do it now?
  • Pray – Pray that He would enable you to do what He has told you to do in applying the scripture. Memorize (Phil 2:13); stand upon its truth. Be still before Him, listen, and let the Word saturate your thoughts and your heart.
  • Tell – Write in your journal what He has revealed to you, then share with someone what you have learned. Don’t place your light under a basket (Mt 5:15). Remember to have a plan, a place, a purpose (to meet with Him), and finally – PERSEVERE, even when you don’t feel like it or don’t think you have the time, give God the “first fruits” of your day! Early mornings are wonderful in His presence; set your alarm clock 20 minutes earlier.
