Text: Hebrews Chapter 11
In verse 32, it talks about some very interesting people of faith.
Gideon – Judges 6: 11 – 13
Barak – Judges 4: 6 -8
Jephtah – Exodus 20: 13
Samson – Judges 16
We see these people as flawed but God sees them as people of faith.
We look at the outward appearance but God looks at the hearts.
1 Samuel 16: 7
What will the Books of History write about us?
If Hebrews Chapter 11 was being written today, what would this faith chapter say about us?
V4. Abel brought an offering
V5. Enoch walked with God
V7. Noah built an ark
V8. Abraham was called ‘God’s friend’
V31. Rahab – the prostitute – believed God’s promises for over 40 years
Daniel 3: 17 & 18
“My God is able to deliver me from you”
“But even if He doesn’t, I won’t serve your false gods!’
Do we have this kind of Faith in God today.
Do we trust Him?
Do we trust Him to make the final decision about our future?
Do we really trust that He has our best interests at heart?
Hebrews 11: 38 – 40 (The Message)
Let us then be an example that others would like to follow.
Let us put our trust in the King and the Kingdom of God today.
Let us trust God with our whole lives.
