Rest E5 - Rest in Hebrews

On today’s episode, we wrap up our Rest series with a deep dive into "Rest in Hebrews"! In this episode, we explore the powerful concept of rest as presented in the book of Hebrews, and how it connects to our faith journey today.

We unpack the story of the Israelites and why they failed to enter God's promised rest in the wilderness, and how their unbelief and disobedience prevented them from experiencing the blessings of rest. But there’s good news! Hebrews encourages believers to enter God’s rest—not through striving, but through faith. This rest isn’t about earning salvation, but about walking in faith and experiencing God’s peace in our lives now, as a preview of the ultimate Sabbath rest to come.

We also talk about the spiritual nature of rest: it’s not just about physical relaxation, but about ceasing from our own work and trusting in the completed work of Jesus. We’ll explore how spiritual rest is essential for our well-being, how it helps us let go of fear, anxiety, and the need to prove ourselves, and why the rest found in Christ is a blessing.

Join us as we unpack these themes from Hebrews, reflect on the significance of the seventh day rest from Genesis, and look forward to the final rest promised to believers in Revelation.
