Sermon Outline:

Big Idea: Jesus’ blood secured our redemption, fully and forever.

1. Through His blood, we are redeemed to serve the living God (vv. 11–14).
2. His blood sealed our place in a better covenant (vv. 15–22).
3. One sacrifice for all time—He will come again (vv. 23–28).

Bible Fellowship Group Study Questions:

1. What does Hebrews 9:11–14 teach about the difference between Christ’s sacrifice and the sacrifices made under the Old Covenant?
2. How does the concept of covenant and inheritance, explained in Hebrews 9:15–22, help us understand the security we have in Christ?
3. In Hebrews 9:23–28, what truths are revealed about Christ’s once-for-all sacrifice and His future return, and how do these truths complete the message of redemption?
4. Since Christ has purified our consciences from dead works to serve the living God, where in your life do you still feel drawn to self-reliant striving instead of Spirit-empowered service?
5. How does the knowledge that your place in God’s New Covenant is sealed by Christ’s blood help you fight feelings of insecurity, fear, or doubt?
6. If Jesus' sacrifice fully covers your sin and you no longer live under condemnation (Romans 8:1), what old patterns of guilt or shame do you need to consciously lay at the foot of the cross?
7. Are you eagerly waiting for Christ’s return as described in Hebrews 9:28, or has your heart grown distracted or complacent? What might "eager waiting" look like in your daily life?
8. What would it look like for you this week to rest, rejoice, and live with a heart fully confident in the finished work of Christ, rather than trying to "prove" yourself to God?
