MESSAGE NOTES
God’s Provision
Hebrews 10:19-22
Marcus Mackey
The Big Idea: We have access to God.
Stay Back in Fear
Draw Near in Faith
His Presence is Our Provision
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
Quick Review: Looking back at your notes from this week’s teaching, was there anything that particularly caught your attention, challenged or confused you?
Digging Deeper:
1) How does access to God through Jesus change the way we view our situations?
2) Compare and contrast the Old Covenant view of God verses the New Covenant view of God. What stands out most to you?
3) How does the enemy accuse you and try and keep you from God?
4) When you sin, what is your natural tendency? Run to God or hide from God?
5) How does prayer shape your daily life? In what ways do you “boldly approach” God?
