Message: The Letter to the Hebrews
Text: Hebrews 3:7-14
Heart: the seat of who you are, what you love, what you trust in, what you think about most…what has you? Proverbs 4:23, Matthew 6:21, Proverbs 3:5
Hard heart: Stiff, not flexible, not easily moved, no longer care. Matthew 3:9 The anger/emotion of Jesus.
Straying heart: This life is not a sprint but a long distance journey. Straying is wanting to go back, not forward, where everything is familiar and seems safer. Back, not forward.
Evil heart of unbelief: Amazing unbelief!
R. Kent Hughes, “The unbelief of God’s people is even more amazing than belief!”
Forgetting what God has done. The long journey takes a toll.
Instead of back to the way things were, let’s go on to the way things can be. Because of what God has done, we look forward to what He will do.
