“SPIRITUAL LAZINESS”
Scripture: Hebrews 6:12 (NIV)
INTRO: The thesis of the Book of Hebrews is that Jesus Christ was in fact the Messiah. The Jews were getting weak in their faith and were starting to look back, instead of going forward. So, the Hebrew writer gives them several warnings:
-Ch. 2:1 “do not drift away”
-Ch. 2:3 “do not ignore”
-Ch. 3:8 “do not harden your hearts”
-Ch. 4:1 “do not fall short”
-Ch. 5:11-13 “do not live on milk”
-Ch. 6:1 “let us leave the elementary teaching and go on to maturity”
-Ch. 6:12 “we do not want you to become lazy”
