Listen "Are You Chasing What You Already Have?"
Episode Synopsis
The Rest Is History Discussion Questions: Read Hebrews 3:18–19. Why does the author connect entering God’s rest with belief versus unbelief? How does that help us understand what “rest” really means? Read Hebrews 4:3. The passage says, “For we who have believed enter that rest.” How does this verse correct the idea that rest is some future spiritual level to reach? Read Hebrews 4:10. What does it mean that the one who has entered God’s rest “has rested from his works, as God did from His”? What “works” are we resting from? Many Christians feel like rest in Christ is always “just out there somewhere” — like the “oasis illusion” described in the message. Why do you think so many believers chase after “more” instead of enjoying what they already have? The message compared salvation to an “airplane ride” or an “inherited house”—already ours, not something to keep chasing. How do these illustrations reshape how we think about growth, discipleship, or spiritual experiences? Some traditions teach a “second blessing” or higher tier of Christianity. How would you gently explain from Hebrews 3–4 that all believers already have full access to God’s rest in Christ?
