  1. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INDEPENDENCE AND INTERDEPENDENCE?

  2. DANGER AHEAD!WE COULD MISS OUT HEBREWS 3 - 4

  3. REMEMBER ISRAEL 3:16-19 THEY ALL LEFT EGYPT BUT HOW MANY REACHED THE PROMISED LAND? THEY RESISTED GOD’S VOICE, PROVOKED HIM TO WRATH THEY WERE UNWILLING TO BE PESUADED AND REFUSED TO TRUST SO THEY MISSED OUT

  4. WHAT CAN WE MISS OUT ON? 4:1-10 GOD’S REST SALVATION HAS BEEN PRESENTED AS: 1. TRAINING FOR RULING OVER THE COMING WORLD 2. FREEDOM FROM THE FEAR OF DEATH AND NOW 3. SHARING IN GOD’S REST REST = STOP DOING SOMETHING

  5. REST EXODUS 20:8-11 SIX DAYS YOU SHALL DO YOUR OWN WORK, BUT REST THE SEVENTH GENESIS 2:2 GOD RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FOR SIX DAYS GOD WORKED ALONE ON THE SEVENTH DAY HE CEASED WORKING ALONE THE ALTERNATIVE IS PARTNERSHIP

  6. PARTNERSHIP WHEN WE TAKE OVER THE RULE OF THE WORLD WILL WE BE WORKING FOR GOD OR WITH HIM? WILL HE ABDICATE AND LEAVE IT TO US? REVELATION 3:21 WITH GOD WE WERE CREATED FOR PARTNERSHIP FROM THE BEGINNING GOD HAS BEEN CALLING PEOPLE INTO PARTNERSHIP THIS IS THE HEAVENLY CALLING

  7. WORKING WITH AN ESSENTIAL ASPECT OF OUR TRAINING IS LEARNING TO WORK WITH GOD THIS REQUIRES OBEDIENCE “HEARING UNDER” LEARNING TO LISTEN

  8. HARD WORK 4:11 REST MEANS REPLACING INDEPENDENCE WITH INTERDEPENDENCE ANY AND ALL INDEPENDENT ACTION I NOW CLASSIFY AS SIN I NEED TO WORK AT REST IF I FAIL AT THIS POINT , LIKE THE ISREALITES, I WILL MISS OUT THEY WERE UNWILLING TO BE PERSUADED

  9. PERSUASION ABOUT WHAT? THAT INTERDEPENDENCE WAS PREFERABLE TO INDEPENDENCE THAT THEY WERE REDEEMED FOR GOD’S PURPOSE THAT THE CALL OF GOD WAS NOT TO FREEDOM BUT TO BE INVOLVED WITH GOD IN ACHIEVING HIS WILL

  10. EXPOSED BY THE WORD 4:12-13 LET THE WORD OF GOD WORK IN OUR LIVES IT WILL DIG DEEP AND EXPOSE THE SOURCE OF OUR ACTIONS IT WILL DIVIDE/SEPARATE BETWEEN THAT WHICH IS OF SELF [SOUL] -INDEPENDENCE AND THAT WHICH IS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT [SPIRIT] - INTERDEPENDENCE

  11. WILLING TO BE PERSUADED 4:14-16 WE NEED HELP EXPOSURE SHOWS US THAT WE ARE INCAPABLE OF PARTNERSHIP ON OUR OWN IF WE DID NOT KNOW THAT WE HAVE A HIGH PRIEST WHO EMPATHISES AND IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE WE WOULD GIVE UP IN DESPAIR DON’T QUIT – PUT OUR CONFIDENCE IN JESUS
