Hebrews 12:18-29

February 14-15, 2026

Getting Started

When you think of a place that feels peaceful or safe, what comes to mind?

Discussion

1. What challenged or encouraged you from this week’s sermon?
   

2. What stands out to you about the contrast between Mount Sinai and Mount Zion? What does it mean to you that we have “come to” a heavenly kingdom, not one of terror but one of celebration and belonging?
   

3. The author says the blood of Jesus “speaks a better word” than the blood of Abel—what do you think that “better word” is? How should the reality of what Jesus has done shape your confidence when approaching God?
   

4. What does God’s “shaking” represent in this passage? Have you ever gone through a season where it felt like God was shaking something loose in your life?
   

5. What does it mean to you that believers receive a kingdom that cannot be shaken? How does that truth provide stability when circumstances feel unstable or uncertain?
   

6. How does knowing God is “a consuming fire” shape your understanding of God’s holiness and your response to him?

Application

What does it look like to worship God with “reverence and awe” in your daily life?

Prayer

Share about anything that feels unstable, uncertain, or overwhelming, and pray for God’s peace, steadiness, and presence, to be an ever-present help in our time of need.

As You Go

Remember the hope and confidence that come from belonging to a kingdom that will never be shaken and worship God with “reverence and awe” as you go about your daily routine.
