MEMBER GROUPS

To equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ...
Ephesians 4:12

The following questions are for the use of our BBC Member Group meetings. For our large group gatherings, we review the passage that was just preached the Sunday prior and apply it to our lives that week (James 1:22-25).

Read Hebrews 12:14-17 and then answer the following questions

Relentlessly Pursue Godly Virtues (Hebrews 12:14)

  1. Where in your life are you currently tempted to “coast” spiritually instead of “pursue” peace and holiness? What would it look like to shift from passive to aggressive pursuit this week?

  2. The text calls us to pursue peace with everyone. Who is one person (inside or outside the church) where you’ve stopped pursuing peace? What specific first step could you take?

  3. When conflict arises, do you tend to fight, flee, freeze, or fake peace? How does your default response need to change in light of this passage?

  4. Pride often fuels relational tension. Where might pride be keeping you from making the first move toward reconciliation? What would humble obedience look like?

  5. Think about a difficult person in your life. How might God be using that relationship to train you (Hebrews 12 context)? How would seeing God’s hand in it reshape your response?

  6. Holiness is compared to hard training. What specific sin are you currently tolerating rather than actively fighting? What concrete plan can you make to pursue holiness in that area?

  7. What spiritual disciplines (Scripture, prayer, confession, accountability) have you neglected? How does neglecting them affect your pursuit of holiness?

  8. Verse 14 says without holiness no one will see the Lord. Does your current trajectory show evidence of growing Christlikeness? Where is growth visible? Where is it absent?

​

Actively Watch Over the Souls of Others (Hebrews 12:15–17)

  1. Hebrews says, “See to it…” How intentional are you about knowing the spiritual condition of others in this church? Who are you actively watching over?

  2. Is there someone in our church whose salvation you’ve assumed rather than lovingly engaged about? What would it look like to start a meaningful spiritual conversation?

  3. When you see someone drifting spiritually, do you hesitate to step in? What fears hold you back, and how does this passage challenge those fears?

  4. A “bitter root” can spread. How do you typically respond to gossip or spiritual drift — do you fan it or smother it? What practical changes could you make?

  5. Think about “little idolatries” (comfort, success, approval, pleasure). Which one most tempts your heart? How might it affect others if left unchecked?

  6. Esau traded eternity for the immediate. What are the “bowls of soup” that most tempt you right now? How are they subtly competing with eternal priorities?

  7. If someone observed your life for a month, would they conclude that eternity outweighs the present for you? What adjustments would make that clearer?

2 Questions for Kids (Ages 6–14)

  1. The Bible says we should “pursue peace.” If you have a fight with a sibling or friend, what would it look like to chase peace instead of trying to win?

  2. Esau traded something very special for a bowl of food. What is something small that might tempt you to forget what matters most (like choosing games over obeying God)? How can you choose what’s better?
