G1 “Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the reality of what is hoped for, the proof of what is not seen”. How does faith differ from wishful thinking or “hoping for the best”?
G2 What does it mean for God’s city to have foundations?
G3 When heaven comes to earth, will it feel strange or familiar? Why do you think that?
G4 Engage your imagination and try to wrap your head / heart around the fact that God is the architect and builder of the heavenly city with foundations. Why does the author of Hebrews specify both: “ARCHITECT” and “BUILDER”?
G5 In what way is this life like a campground? How would it change the way you live if you counted on the fact that you will soon be going home to your forever home?
G6 Embrace the tension in Hebrew 11:9: “By faith he MADE HIS HOME in the promised land like a STRANGER in a foreign country; he lived in TENTS”. What does it mean to make your home as a stranger?

S1 Pray Hebrews 11:16 to Father God. Hebrews 11:16: “Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.” What is God saying to you through this verse?
