5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. 6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

We’ve been moving through CASKET EMPTY, and I don’t want us to lose sight of why we’re doing that. The whole idea of Casket Empty is to recognize God’s redemptive story throughout the Old Testament.

1 Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it. 2 For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened. 3 For we who…
