Discipleship Questions
God's Heart
Who is God? What has He done?
- Read Hebrews 1:1–3. What does it mean that Jesus is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact imprint of His nature?
- Read Hebrews 1:4–14. What does the author say about Jesus being “higher than the angels”? Why does that matter for our worship?
- Read Hebrews 2:9–10. How does Jesus’ willingness to suffer death reveal the heart of God toward us?
INSIGHT: Jesus is worthy of our worship — not just because He is higher, but because He was willing to be made low. The same radiant Word who upholds the universe by His power stepped into our weakness to rescue us by His grace.
Our Heart
Who Am I & Who Are We in Light of Christ?
- When you consider God’s glory - the radiance of Christ, the One higher than angels - who are you in comparison? Dust? Failing? Finite? How does that frame your need for a Saviour?
- Read Isaiah 6:5 and reflect on your own response to God’s holiness. Have you ever felt “undone” by how far above you He is?
- If we were made to worship something higher, how does our community reflect that calling? Do we live as those drawn upward by glory - or dragged downward by distraction?
INSIGHT: We were separated by sin — dust, failing, and far from God — but Jesus dared to draw near. He stepped down from the heavens and entered the fight. He tasted death for us so we could live in awe and worship again.
Repent & Believe
Old Self & New Heart
- Where have you lost sight of Jesus’ radiance and treated Him like just another voice instead of the exact imprint of God’s nature?
- What pride or self-reliance do you need to turn from - the kind that forgets you’re dust - and instead cling to the one who came low for you?
- Where is your worship half-hearted? Where have you lost sight of the true worth of Christ?
ACTION: Turn from low thoughts of Jesus and high thoughts of self. Repent of pride and forgetfulness — and believe again that Christ, higher than all, came lower than you could ever imagine to bring you home.
Live it Out
What Flows Out of My New Heart?
- What is one way you can lift your eyes this week - in Scripture, song, or prayer - to worship Jesus for who He really is?
- When suffering or weakness comes, how can you remind yourself (or someone else) that Jesus entered that place too, and is not far off?
- What would it look like to reorient your weekly rhythms so that worship isn’t just part of Sunday, but the posture of your whole life?
PRAY: Jesus, You are higher than all, and yet You stooped lower than I can comprehend. Lift my eyes to You again this week. Let me not forget Your worth. Let me not be casual with Your glory. Help me worship You with awe — and help me lead others there too. Amen.
