Text: Luke 15:11-32

Healthy relationships are inviting and provide space for free will.

Hebrews 8–9 opens a deeper look at Jesus’ ministry by contrasting old structures with the reality now found in Him. The teaching highlights a better sanctuary, a better covenant and a better sacrifice, showing how each Old Testament pattern pointed forward to Christ’s finished work. With the author’s pastoral heart in view, the focus remains on encouraging weary believers to see Jesus clearly and continue trusting Him.

Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will hurt or heal me.

Dealing with conflict begins by being honest with yourself.

Text: Proverbs 29:11

Decide to let anger work for you not against you.

Spiritual battles are fought best when believers know who they are and whose they are. This session unpacks the rich truths of salvation: being rescued from darkness, redeemed through Christ’s blood, forgiven, made new, adopted, reconciled, empowered, and sealed by the Spirit. These realities dismantle the enemy’s lies and establish believers in confidence, gratitude, and freedom. Identity becomes not an idea but a place to stand.

Paul’s words in Colossians 2:6–15 remind believers that the Christian life is a journey walked the same way it began—by trusting wholly in Christ’s finished work, not slipping back into self-effort. This session highlights four pictures Paul gives for healthy discipleship: being rooted in Christ, built up over time, established through years of steady faithfulness, and overflowing with thanksgiving. From there, the teaching warns the church to stay alert, refusing to be “kidnapped” by philosophies, traditions, or spiritual influences that sound wise but pull believers away from the simplicity of Christ. The heart of the passage, however, is Paul’s sweeping reminder of who believers are in Christ—spiritually circumcised, buried and raised with Him, forgiven completely, and made alive by God Himself. The session ends with Paul’s triumphant vision of Christ’s cross: every accusation canceled, every spiritual enemy disarmed, and the believer invited to live from victory rather than striving toward it.
