  1. The Rest That We Dare Not Miss (Hebrew 3:7-18, 4:1-2) Don’t give up on Jesus “Be warned by the accident in front”

  2. The Rest That We Dare Not Miss (Hebrew 3:7-18, 4:1-2) • Be Warned By What Befell Those Early Believers • Look at what they did (3:8-10, 16-17) • Look at the high price that they paid (3:17-18)

  3. The Rest That We Dare Not Miss (Hebrew 3:7-18, 4:1-2) • The Ways To Avoid Such A Disaster • Accept that the possibility of turning back still exists (3:12, 14:1, 11) • Realise that sin remains very attractive (3:13) • Hold firmly to your confidence in Jesus (3:14)

  4. The Rest That We Dare Not Miss (Hebrew 3:7-18, 4:1-2) • Mix hearing with faith to avoid decay (4:2b) • Encourage one another (3:13a)

  5. The Rest That We Dare Not Miss (Hebrew 3:7-18, 4:1-2) • Enjoying God’s “Rests” God’s rest and peace is enjoyed: • Following our first surrender to the Lord • As we learn to obey the Lord (3:12-13)

  6. The Rest That We Dare Not Miss (Hebrew 3:7-18, 4:1-2) • When we begin to experience the “victorious Christian life” • After we finally “go home” to heaven itself (3:14)

  7. Hebrew 3:7-18 7 That is why the Holy Spirit says, “Today when you hear his voice,8 don’t harden your heartsas Israel did when they rebelled,when they tested me in the wilderness.9 There your ancestors tested and tried my patience,even though they saw my miracles for forty years.10 So I was angry with them, and I said,‘Their hearts always turn away from me.They refuse to do what I tell them.’11 So in my anger I took an oath:‘They will never enter my place of rest.’”[e]

  8. 12 Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters.[f] Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God. 13 You must warn each other every day, while it is still “today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God. 14 For if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that belongs to Christ. 15 Remember what it says: “Today when you hear his voice,don’t harden your heartsas Israel did when they rebelled.”[g]

  9. 16 And who was it who rebelled against God, even though they heard his voice? Wasn’t it the people Moses led out of Egypt? 17 And who made God angry for forty years? Wasn’t it the people who sinned, whose corpses lay in the wilderness? 18 And to whom was God speaking when he took an oath that they would never enter his rest? Wasn’t it the people who disobeyed him?

  10. Hebrews 4:1-2 4 God’s promise of entering his rest still stands, so we ought to tremble with fear that some of you might fail to experience it. 2 For this good news—that God has prepared this rest—has been announced to us just as it was to them. But it did them no good because they didn’t share the faith of those who listened to God.[a]
