Proper 15

Hebrews 11.29 – 12.2

The wings of faith - Week 2 of 4

Four weeks in which we discover how the images of the Letter to the Hebrews empower the language and music of our worship.

Inspire

In this week’s reading we hear of Old Testament heroes, named and unnamed, and the hardships they endured. They represent a cloud of witnesses, who not only inspire us, but point us to Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith and theirs.


This week's reading, Hebrews 11.29 - 12.2 provides an opportunity to: 

  • think about the context for which Hebrews was written (AAA & CYP)
  • consider what inspires us and keeps us going (AAA & CYP)
  • recognise that strength can emerge out of weakness (AAA & CYP)
  • consider shame and honour. (AAA & CYP)
