Divisions:
1.The letter to the Hebrews says: Jesus is the faithful
Son (Hebrews 3:1-6)
Principle: Jesus’
people are called to be faithful, fixing their thoughts on Jesus.
2.The letter to the Hebrews says: Do not harden your
hearts, but encourage one another (Hebrews 3:7-13)
Principle: Jesus’
people encourage each other to prevent hard hearts.
3.The letter to the Hebrews says: Hold your original
conviction firmly and don’t harden your hearts (Hebrews 3:14-19)
Principle:
Unbelief leads to hard hearts, rebellion, sin and disobedience.
Subject Sentence:
Hebrews says: think on Jesus, encourage others, don’t
harden hearts.
Aim:
The root problem of a hardened heart is unbelief, and we
fight unbelief by fixing our thoughts on Jesus and encouraging each other.
Application:
1.How will you refocus your thoughts on Jesus when they
stray? What do you need to let go of to
keep your thoughts from straying?
2.What have you learned from brothers and sisters in
Christ about how to encourage others?
Where could you benefit from some encouragement?
3.Where do you struggle with unbelief and how do you
combat it? How might you encourage
others to prevent unbelief in them? What
alerts you to the presence of unbelief in your life?
The Big Idea: #encouragement, #Jesus thoughts, #hard heart,
#unbelief
