To equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ...

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 12:18-29 and then answer the following questions
Mount Sinai vs. Mount Zion
-
If someone observed your life for a month, what evidence would they see that Jesus is precious to you?​
-
Mount Sinai could be described as distance, fear, and judgment. When are you tempted to relate to God as if you are still at Sinai instead of Zion? What does that reveal about your understanding of the gospel?
-
What would practically change in your daily life if you truly believed you have already come to Mount Zion? How would it affect your anxiety? Your prayer life? Your worship?
​​
The Joyful Assembly
-
Hebrews says you’ve come to a joyful, festive assembly. Do you experience your Christianity more as joy or obligation? Why?
-
If we truly belong to a joyful heavenly city, how should that shape the emotional tone of our church family?
-
There is unity in the city of God. Is there anyone in the church you are functionally distant from?
​​
​The Better Verdict & the Blood of Jesus
-
The blood of Jesus “speaks a better word.” What accusations (guilt, shame, regret, failure) tend to speak louder to you than the gospel? What would it look like to let the blood of Jesus have the final word this week?
-
When you sin, what is your reflex?
-
Hide?
-
Defend yourself?
-
Minimize it?
-
Run to Christ?
​​
The Shaking & the Unshakable Kingdom
-
What are you currently leaning on for security that can actually be shaken?
-
Verse 28 calls us to grateful, reverent worship. What specific expression of gratitude could you practice this week that reflects you’ve received an unshakable kingdom?
-
Private worship?
-
Corporate worship?
-
Generosity?
-
Reconciliation?
-
Bold witness?

Questions for Kids (Ages 6–14)
-
The sermon talked about two mountains — one scary (Sinai) and one joyful (Zion).
Why is it good news that Jesus brings us to the joyful mountain instead of the scary one? -
Lots of things in life can break or fall apart. What does it mean that God’s kingdom cannot be shaken — and how does that help you when you feel scared or worried?
