Summary
In this teaching through Hebrews chapter 3, we confront one of the most sobering warnings in the New Testament. Jesus is greater than Moses. He is not merely a servant in the house, He is the Son over it. But the chapter does not stop at theology. It presses into the heart.
Why did an entire generation that saw miracles fail to enter the Promised Land? Hebrews 3:19 answers clearly: because of unbelief.
This message walks verse by verse through Hebrews 3:1 to 19 and addresses:
• Why fixing your thoughts on Jesus is essential for endurance
• How a hardened heart forms slowly and quietly
• Why drift is subtle but deadly
• The role of daily encouragement in protecting your faith
• The difference between hearing truth and trusting truth
