The message is taken from Hebrews 3:7-19. The author of Hebrews will use a
negative example to push us toward a positive course of action. Are we, as
individuals and as a community, battling to remain faithful to Jesus? Or
will we, like the wilderness generation, slide into unbelief? By viewing
the example of the past, the author is calling us to evaluation in the
present to ensure faithfulness for the future.
