Look back: Look back over Hebrews 3:13-19 and remember the church body plays a vital role in the enduring faith of a Christian.

Look ahead: This coming Sunday, we will review Hebrews 3 before pausing Hebrews for our summer Psalms series. Read all or part of Hebrews 3 with your family. 

Ask: How does God work in believers for their endurance? 

Pray: Praise God for keeping his people.
