Icebreaker: When you think of a prophet, what is the first thing that comes to mind and why?

Series: Prophet, Priest, and King – Sermon Title: “The Ultimate Prophet” – Hebrews 1:1-3

Group Discussion:

Read Luke 2:10-11, Hebrews 1:1-3, & Revelation 17:14 and then explore the truths below:

Jesus is a Prophet who reveals God (e.g., read Deuteronomy 18:15, & 18:18-19).

Jesus is a Priest who reconciles to God (e.g., read Isaiah 53:10-12).

Jesus is a King who reigns with God (e.g., read Isaiah 9:6-7).

So, what is unique about how we see prophets, priests, and kings set apart in the Old Testament? How can the New Testament verses above help us see Jesus as the ultimate “Anointed One” fulfilling all these roles?

Read John 7:16 & John 17:6-8 – Jesus is the Prophet who speaks. How should Jesus’ complete alignment with the Father’s message reshape the way we evaluate truth, authority, and the voices (i.e., influences) we choose to follow today? Discuss practical ways we can align with His message.

Read John 1:1 & 14 & John 14:6-11 – Jesus is the message; He IS God’s Word in the flesh! Discuss how we can comprehend and explain that Jesus is God incarnate. How should the fact that Jesus is both God’s final Word and His living revelation influence our mission and witness as His disciples?

Read Matthew 11:28-30, John 14:1-3, & John 14:15-21 – Jesus is the Prophet who saves. Discuss connections we might observe between the future hope Jesus promises and the present comfort He gives to those who have come to faith, confession, repentance, and baptism.

Respond to Jesus’ Prophetic Voice: Choose one area of current pressure (e.g., fear, temptation, decision-making, or discouragement) and commit it to Jesus’ saving authority by praying a specific promise He gives (e.g., Matthew 11:28–30; John 14:1; John 14:18). Write down what surrender and obedience look like in that exact situation and then take specific steps toward resolution and victory.
