Welcome
—

Thanks for tuning into Redeemer Al Ain’s online service. This week was our first week that we were able to gather in person at the Al Ain Evangelical Church Centre, but the restrictions placed upon gathering meant that all of our members and attendees will not be able to attend at once. (For more information about the restrictions click here). As pastors, we also understand that different people have different circumstances and comfort levels for in-person gatherings. We do not want to pressure anyone to attend who would not feel comfortable. We will continue to post the service online so that people can participate digitally. 

In this service, we’re continuing our study through the book of Hebrews. Pastor Drew Remke is preaching on Hebrews 12:12–17, The Race, the Life, and the Community.

Bible Reading

12 Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, 13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed. 14 Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. 15 See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; 16 that no one is sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal. 17 For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears.

Hebrews 12:12–17

Study Questions

  1. How does this passage relate to the verses that came before it?

  2. Practically, how can Christians strive for peace with everyone? (vs. 14)?

  3. What does it mean to strive for “the holiness without which no one will see the Lord?” (vs. 14)

  4. What role does the community of the church play in our pursuit of holiness?

  5. How are we to understand what this passage teaches about Esau in vs. 16–17? What implications does this have upon our lives?
