Welcome to Day 2239 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Hebrews-6 Stop Churning and Start Resting \u2013 Daily Wisdom Putnam Church Message \u2013 05/21/2023 \u201cStop Churning and Start Resting\u201d Hebrews 4:1-11 Last week, we continued our extended series through the book of Hebrews in the New Testament. We learned that we should Beware of a Hard Heart caused by neglecting to follow God, which will prevent us from entering into His rest. Today in Hebrews 4:1-11 we will extend that thought as we learn how to Stop Churning and Start Resting.
