Resting by the Word of God

Hebrews 3:12; 4:11-13

1.) Worship in Spirit and in truth

2.) Life of surrender (Romans 12:1)

3.) Commit to honesty

Sabbath Rest

1.) Finished, never ending, and perpetual state of life…

2.) REST…not a day to observe but a status of being…a cessation of human effort knowing God and enjoying Him in perfect relationship

The greatest way to flesh out the Gospel, is in adopting orphans.

The only means to releasing the tension is through the cross of Christ

Only then can we be justified before God, meaning God declares us "Not Guilty"

What is the best thing that can happen to you?

Jesus to strip us of our idols.

What is the worst thing that could happen to you?

God let us have our idols.

Jesus taught,

Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is within your grasp

1.) All of the redeemed live in the wilderness....."the not yet" season of the Kingdom

2.) Suffering is part of His work in the wilderness.

3.) You don't get to choose how you will suffer. A wise, sovereign God will choose.

4.) "Grumbling" is against God and His Gospel.

5.) "Grumbling" is a sin of the tongue that always escalates.

6.) "Grumbling" is infectious.

7.) "Grumbling" is a failure of faith.

Jesus came to:

RELEASE (binding the power of Satan)

RESCUE (death & resurrection)

RESTORE (discipline & transformation)
