SCRIPTURE
Hebrews 10:11-18
11 And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, 13 waiting from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. 14 For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.
15 And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying,
16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them
after those days, declares the Lord:
I will put my laws on their hearts,
and write them on their minds,”
17 then he adds,
“I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.”
18 Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.

BIG IDEA
DISCUSSION
1. Read Hebrews 10:11-18 and discuss what stands out to you.
2. Why do you think the sacrificial system of the Old Testament was unable to take away sins? What was the point, then?
3. Which examples did pastor Brett give Sunday about us knowing that sins make us unclean? Can you identify with Lady Macbeth, who was always rubbing her hands and said, “Out damned spot!… All the perfumes of Arabia cannot sweeten this little hand”?
4. How is Jesus’ sacrifice different than the sacrifices of the Old Testament?
5. What did Jesus accomplish as our sacrifice? What does this change the way you live?
