Sermon
Lesson 9
Hebrews 3:7-19
Take Care, Lest There Be In You An Evil, Unbelieving Heart!
Main Idea: Take care lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart!
• As evidenced in Exodus & Numbers in “the rebellion”
Sins of God’s people
Quarreling: Rephidim/Massah/Meribah) (Ex 17)
Rebellion at Kadesh (Num 13-14)
Quarrelling: Meribah (Num 20)
Pattern of unbelief for 40 years!
Meribah-Kadesh -Meribah (Ex 17/Num 20)
“They shall not enter My rest!”
• As evidenced in Psalm 95: Worship and believing (Ps 95:1-7a)
• As evidenced in Hebrews 3
The danger of an evil, unbelieving heart
Take care, lest we have an evil, unbelieving heart (12a)
Corrective action: Exhort one another daily (13)
We are “ sharers in Christ” if we persevere (14-15)
Hearing his voice (15a)
Not hardening our hearts (15b)
• Some questions for us to ask ourselves today:
“So, who heard God’s word and rebelled?” (v. 16)?
Answer: “All those whom Moses delivered from Egypt”
“With whom was God angry for 40 years ?” (v. 17)
Answer: “Those who sinned and died in the wilderness”
“Whom did God swear would not enter His rest?” (v. 18)
Answer: Those who disobeyed—i.e., did not believe.”
Bottom line: They were unable to enter God’s rest because of unbelief! (v. 19)
Therefore: We will be unable to enter God’s place of rest if we do not believe!
Applications
Do I believe in Jesus?
If so, where are my affections this morning?
