Look back: Look back over Hebrews 10:15-16 and remember Christ’s sacrifice brings the New Covenant of forgiveness and Spirit-given transformation.

Look ahead: This coming Sunday, we will be in Hebrews 10:17-18. Read the passage during the week with your family. 

Ask: What does Christ's offering of himself mean for your forgiveness?

Pray: Praise God for the complete and total forgiveness of sin in and through Jesus.
