Welcome to Chapel City Church! Last week Charlie opened up chapter three inviting us to consider Christ. Jesus was presented as being better than Moses, as the builder of the house is worthy of more honor than a servant in the house. But that reference to Moses would immediately move the audience to thinking about a particular time in their shared history. And that consideration of the people who God moved from slavery into the Promised Land forms the background for the second warning passage in the Book of Hebrews. There is an urgency to the gospel. We don’t know the number of our days, but we do have today. And while it is still called today, we must evaluate our hearts. We must take care that the deception of sin hasn’t led to a state of hard-hearted unbelief. But what did that generation do that proved their hard-heartedness? How can we avoid the same mistake? And what’s at stake if we choose to move away from the truth of the gospel? We would love to answer any questions that you have, and to know how we can be praying specifically for you.
Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. Hebrews 3:12-13
