Take Home Principle:
“I will regularly fellowship with other Christians to encourage, strengthen, and build up one another in the faith.”
Discovery Question
- What are the things that we should think about?
- What tendency or bad habit did the author warn us against?
- Instead, what does the Bible tell us we should do?
Understanding Questions
- Verse 25 mentions a certain “Day”. What event is this referring to, and why is it more crucial to encourage each other while the “Day” is drawing closer?
- What could be potential reasons why someone might stop meeting with one another?
- Why is it important to guard against this? What makes fellowship so important?
Application Questions
- Do you meet regularly with your Christian family for the study of His word, prayer, and fellowship? Are you guarding your time and making it a priority, or is it pretty easily pushed aside whenever “something else” comes up? How is your commitment and how can you strengthen this?
- Is there someone you’ve not seen in quite a while and you’re wondering how they’re doing or you know they’re going through a rough patch? What specific things can you do this week to reach out and be an encouragement to him/her?
Mahalagang Prinsipyo sa Buhay:
“Ako ay regular na makiki-fellowship kasama ng ibang mananampalataya o kapatiran para hikayatin, palakasin at patatagin ang isa’t isa sa pananampalataya.”
Pagtuklas
- Ano ang mga bagay na dapat nating isipin?
- Sa anong ugali o masamang bisyo tayo binalaan ng sumulat o may akda?
- Sa halip, ano ang pinapagawa sa atin ayon sa Bibliya?
Pag-unawa
- May nabanggit na “araw” sa verse 25. Anong kaganapan ang tinutukoy nito at bakit mas importanteng hikayatin ang isa’t isa habang papalapit ang “araw” na iyon?
- Ano kaya ang maaaring dahilan kung bakit maaaring tumigil ang isang tao sa pakikipagkita sa iba?
- Bakit importanteng mabantayan na huwag mangyari ito o maiwasan? Ano ang kahalagahan ng fellowship?
Pagtugon
- Regular ba kayong nagtitipon ng iyong Kristiyanong pamilya para sa pag-aaral ng Kanyang Salita, pagdarasal, at fellowship? Pinapahalagahan o inuuna mo ba ang oras para sa fellowship o madali mo itong isantabi sa tuwing may ibang kaganapan? Kumusta ang iyong pangako at paano mo ito pagtitibayin?
- Mayroon bang taong matagal mo nang hindi nakikita at iniisip mo kung kumusta na siya o baka may alam kang may pinagdadaanan ito? Ano ang maaari mong gawin sa linggong ito upang makita at mapuntahan mo siya para mapalakas at mabigyang pag-asa?
