1. Refusing to hear• Refusing to believe God is a serious sin
because it shows an evil heart. (v.12)• Unbelief is not an inability to understand,
but an unwillingness to trust.• Unbelief isn’t weakness of faith; it sets
itself in opposition to faith.

2. Did you hear?• If we will strengthen our faith and avoid
the ruin of unbelief, we must be around other believers who will encourage. (v13)
• How seriously do we take our responsibility to encourage someone?
• If you are out of fellowship altogether, how can you exhort (encourage)?
• The sin of unbelief has its roots in deceit; and unbelief hardens us.

Philippians 1.6 “…He who has begun a good work in you will complete it…”
3. Hard to hear• God uses warnings and appeals to our will
as His appointed means to build endurance in us.
• We harden our own hearts in response to what may be done to us.

Deuteronomy 15.7
4. Hearing all the way through• It isn’t enough to make a good beginning,
real belief perseveres to the end. (v14)• How we finish is even more important
than how we start.
