Pastor Luke Simmons explores the theme of rest in this sermon from the series in Hebrews. Addressing the paradox in Hebrews 4, "let us therefore strive to enter that rest," Pastor Luke explains the concept of biblical rest and what it means to trust in God's promises. By examining the story of the Israelites in Numbers 13-14 and the promise of an ultimate rest in the new heavens and new earth, he challenges us to consider how we can strive to rest not by our own efforts but by faith in Jesus’ finished work on the cross. This message encourages believers to evaluate their hearts, avoid the pitfalls of hardened hearts, and learn how to rest in God’s grace. Tune in to discover how this promise of rest is available to you today.
