✝️ Get Up From the Kid's Table Text: Hebrews 5:11–6:3 Big Idea: God is calling us to grow up in our faith, moving from passive consumption to active spiritual maturity. You weren’t made to stay in the high chair; you were made to rise, train, and serve.Interruption to the PSA (Hebrews 5:11–12)The author pauses his deep teaching about Jesus to address the audience’s spiritual laziness."Dull of hearing" isn't passive ignorance; it's a willful disengagement.These believers had enough time to become teachers, but they were still needing milk.Reflection: Where in your life have you been making excuses for not growing in your faith?Solid v Liquid Diet (Hebrews 5:13–14)Milk-only Christians remain immature and untrained in the word of righteousness.Solid food is for those who, by constant use, have developed discernment.This isn’t about intellect; it’s about spiritual discipline and daily practice.Reflection: How are you exercising your spiritual muscles? What consistent practice do you need to commit to?What’s Your Menu? (Hebrews 6:1–2)The call to "leave" elementary teachings isn’t abandonment but advancement.The gospel invites us to deepen our faith beyond foundational truths like repentance, faith, and judgment.These are starting blocks, not finish lines.Reflection: What areas of your discipleship are still stuck at the foundational level?If God Permits (Hebrews 6:3)Our spiritual growth depends on God's grace, but it also requires our effort.Maturity is a partnership. God permits, but we must participate.Reflection: Are you waiting on God to do something He’s waiting on you to pursue?🙏 Walk It Out: 5-Day DevotionalDay 1 – Lazy Ears, Lazy Faith Hebrews 5:11; Ezekiel 12:2 Walk It Out: Where have you been ignoring God's voice out of convenience or fear?Day 2 – Spiritual Obesity Hebrews 5:12; James 1:22–25 Walk It Out: Are you consuming the Word without exercising it in your life?Day 3 – Lift Something Hebrews 5:14; 1 Timothy 4:7–8 Walk It Out: What practice will you take on this week to grow stronger spiritually?Day 4 – Build and Grow Hebrews 6:1–2; 2 Peter 1:5–8 Walk It Out: What aspect of your faith do you need to build on this week?Day 5 – Permitted to Grow Hebrews 6:3; Philippians 2:12–13 Walk It Out: How can you align your daily actions with God’s call to grow?🗣️ Adult Bible Class & Family Discussion QuestionsWhat is spiritual laziness and why is it dangerous to long-term growth?︾ Hebrews 5:11–12Follow-Up: What disciplines could help us move from milk to meat?⇨ Alternate Verse: Romans 12:11What does it mean to be trained by constant practice?︾ Hebrews 5:14Follow-Up: How does repetition form spiritual maturity?⇨ Alternate Verse: 1 Corinthians 9:25–27Why should we move beyond the elementary teachings?︾ Hebrews 6:1–2Follow-Up: What would building on your faith look like this month?⇨ Alternate Verse: 2 Peter 3:18What does it mean that "this we will do if God permits"?︾ Hebrews 6:3Follow-Up: How do we cooperate with God in our growth journey?⇨ Alternate Verse: James 4:15Why is spiritual maturity not just about knowledge but about action?︾ Hebrews 5:13–14; James 1:22Follow-Up: How can you begin applying what you already know?⇨ Alternate Verse: Matthew 7:24–27What role does discernment play in the life of a mature believer?︾ Hebrews 5:14Follow-Up: What decisions are you facing that require spiritual discernment?⇨ Alternate Verse: Philippians 1:9–10How does the metaphor of milk versus solid food speak to your current spiritual appetite?︾ Hebrews 5:12–13Follow-Up: What would it look like to develop a taste for deeper truths?⇨ Alternate Verse: 1 Peter 2:2–3What foundations in your faith journey need reinforcing or reexamining?︾ Hebrews 6:1–2Follow-Up: How can your small group or family help strengthen those foundations?⇨ Alternate Verse: 1 Corinthians 3:10–11What does it mean to be unskilled in the word of righteousness?︾ Hebrews 5:13Follow-Up: How can you become more fluent in righteousness?⇨ Alternate Verse: 2 Timothy 3:16–17What is the danger of staying spiritually comfortable?︾ Hebrews 5:11–12Follow-Up: What comfort zones might God be calling you out of?⇨ Alternate Verse: Revelation 3:15–16How does this passage affirm the importance of Christian growth over time?︾ Hebrews 5:12; 2 Peter 1:5–8Follow-Up: What has your growth looked like in the last year?⇨ Alternate Verse: Colossians 1:10How does God’s grace interact with our effort in the journey to maturity?︾ Hebrews 6:3; Philippians 2:12–13Follow-Up: What step can you take this week that expresses trust in both God's grace and your responsibility?⇨ Alternate Verse: Titus 2:11–12Quick Scripture Reference List Hebrews 5:11–6:3 – Grow from milk to meatEzekiel 12:2 – Eyes to see, ears to hear but unwilling heartsJames 1:22–25 – Be doers of the Word1 Timothy 4:7–8 – Train yourself for godliness2 Peter 1:5–8 – Make every effort to add to your faithPhilippians 2:12–13 – Work out your salvation with reverence and cooperationRomans 12:11 – Do not be slothful in zeal1 Corinthians 9:25–27 – Discipline in spiritual training2 Peter 3:18 – Grow in grace and knowledgeJames 4:15 – If the Lord willsMatthew 7:24–27 – Wise and foolish buildersPhilippians 1:9–10 – Discern what is best1 Peter 2:2–3 – Crave pure spiritual milk1 Corinthians 3:10–11 – Christ is the only foundation2 Timothy 3:16–17 – Equipped for every good workRevelation 3:15–16 – Neither hot nor coldColossians 1:10 – Grow in the knowledge of GodTitus 2:11–12 – Grace trains us to live uprightly
