November 27, 2016 Sermon Lesson 11 Hebrews 4:12-13
The Word of God is Living and Active
The Five “Rests” of Hebrews 4: God’s rest on the 7th Day (4, 10) Israel’s rest in Canaan (2, 3, 7, 8) Israel’s rest in David’s time (Psalm 95:7b-11) (5-7) Our rest now (3, 10) Our rest in glory (9. 11)
Main Idea: Let us strive to enter God’s rest because of God and His Word
• Because the word of God is living and active (12)
It is sharper than any two-edged sword
It is penetrating
Can separate soul and spirit
Can separate joints and marrow
It is discerning of the thoughts and intents of our hearts
• Because God is knowledgeable of our sin (13)
No creature is hidden from His sight
All are naked and exposed to the Judge
Applications
Psalm 139:23-24 Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!
