Pastor Nicole has moved to Hebrews in her ongoing series on how to take truths from the scripture and use them to run our life race and finish well.

She showed how Hebrews 4:1–11 urges believers to take seriously God’s ongoing invitation to enter His “rest,” a concept rooted in creation, echoed in Israel’s Exodus journey, and ultimately fulfilled in Christ. The passage warns that, just as the wilderness generation missed God’s rest through unbelief and disobedience (both symptoms of a deeper lack of trust) people today can also fall short if they hear God’s Word without mixing it with faith. God’s rest has always been available, from the seventh day of creation to David’s reminder centuries later that “Today” is still open, and it remains accessible now through trusting what God has completed in Christ rather than relying on self‑justifying works.

Believers are called to be intentional in trusting, believing, and obeying God so they may fully enter the spiritual rest He provides, ceasing from striving and embracing the finished work of Jesus for us and in us.

Our entrance fee is paid THROUGH Christ's Completed Work!

Nicole encouraged us to:

1. Let our TRUST in God FUEL our belief and obedience

2. Let our TRUST in GOD GROW your belief and obedience.

3. Ask God where He is challenging us to trust Him?

4. Cease from Self-justifying works and REST in what Christ has completed!

We all "miss it" at times and there is no shame attached to that. Missing it only means you get the opportunity to experience God in a GREATER WAY!!!
