Hebrews Pt 5 To Be Or Not To Be

Jul 16, 2025    Seth Yancey

In this message we explore the solemn warning found in Hebrews chapter 3, beginning at verse 7. Drawing a parallel to Shakespeare's famous question, "To be or not to be," the sermon frames the Christian life as a choice between entering into God's rest or remaining in a state of restlessness caused by unbelief.


The teaching centers on the example of the Israelites in the wilderness. Despite witnessing God's miraculous deliverance from Egypt, they hardened their hearts, provoking God and ultimately failing to enter the promised land. This historical account serves as a crucial lesson for believers today. Brother Seth urges listeners to heed the Holy Spirit's call "today" and not allow an evil heart of unbelief to take root, which leads to disobedience and departing from the living God. The message is a call to remain steadfast in faith, remembering that the ultimate and superior rest is found not in a physical place, but in the person of Jesus Christ.
