Jesus Greater Than Moses, Finishing Well in Faith (Hebrews 3) - Jeff Clay

Sermon from Jan 4th, 2026   Hebrews chapter 3 confronts a critical question for every believer: will we finish well? In this message, we’re reminded that while Moses was the greatest figure in Israel’s history, faithful as a servant and prophet, Jesus is infinitely greater. He is both the Apostle sent from the Father and the perfect High Priest who brings us full access to God. The writer of Hebrews warns new believers, and us today, not to drift into unbelief when hardship comes. Using Israel’s wilderness story and Psalm 95, we see how a strong beginning can still end tragically if faith gives way to disbelief. The issue isn’t a lack of miracles or evidence. It’s a hardened heart that forgets what God has already done. The call is urgent and personal: today, if you hear His voice, don’t harden your heart. Encourage one another daily, hold fast to the hope we first confessed, and trust that God will do exactly what He has promised.
