Family Discussion Questions:

Younger and Older:

  • How is Jesus' body like the curtain that the Old Testament High Priest went through to get into the Holy of Holies in the Temple?
  • How does Jesus' blood make us able to be with God without being afraid?
  • How does going to church help you to keep trusting in Jesus?
  • How does you going to church help other people to keep trusting in Jesus?

Deeper Discussion:

  • We are justified by faith, not by works, and not by going to church.  What then is the connection between faith and the word "confession" which implies a public and vocal element to faith?
  • How would this text help a parent or mature believer answer the age-old question, "why should we go to church tomorrow?"
  • How does "the Day" drawing near serve as an incentive to not neglect assembling as a church?
  • Neglecting the gathering of the church was seen as a public profession about Christ and about the other church members.  Explain.
