When Faith Leads to Difficulty

There are times when our faith in God will lead us directly into difficulty. We see this many times in Scripture. As we travel through Hebrews chapter 11 we see this in the life of Moses. Moses and the children of Israel are deliberately led into a place of no escape. Join us as we look at how faith operates in the environment of the impossible.

What’s your Jericho?

What we have in Hebrews chapter 11 is a long list of people who were told by God to do the ridiculous, and as we come to verses 30 & 31 the scenario is the same. The Lord wanted to lead Israel into a victorious and blessed life, but standing in their way was the impregnable fortress of Jericho. And so with the believer today, God has a desire to lead the disciple of Christ into a life of victory. However, often standing in their way is an obstacle that appears to be unconquerable. But God has a plan even for the impossible. Join us as we learn how to take on the Jerichos in our lives.

6 Flawed Men

As we near the end of our study in Hebrews chapter 11, the author encourages his readers by reminding them that God uses flawed people. The writer of Hebrews reaches back into Hebrew history and gives us 6 examples of people who were far from perfect and God used them in incredible ways.

Two Possible Outcomes of Faith

Coming to the end of the “Faith Chapter” of the Bible, Hebrews 11, we close out the chapter on an interesting note. The writer of Hebrews informs us that faith can lead us to two very different outcomes. What we are encouraged to remember though is no matter the outcome, the heart of God is always the same towards us. Join us as we focus on our value to God no matter what our circumstances of life might be.

Run to Win

Moving into the final chapters of the book of Hebrews, we come what we might call the practical application of the letter. In heaven there is waiting for us both eternal life and rewards. Eternal life is a gift, based entirely on the faithfulness of Christ. Rewards are the results of our faithfulness in running the race. Join us as we begin chapter 12, to discover what we must do in order to win the race that is set before us.

Responding to the Call of God

Once a person has been a Christian for a period of time it’s not unusual to develop a sense that God is leading them to say or do something, or to go somewhere. We find ourselves in chapter 11 of Hebrews looking at Abraham and how this man of faith responded to the call of God. Join us as we look at how faith responds to the call of God.

When Life Doesn’t Match the Promises of God

For the Christian there can be times when our life’s circumstances seem to contradict what God has promised the Christian. What are we to make of this? Does God no longer love us? Are we no longer His child? Join us in Hebrews chapter eleven as we continue to look at the faith of those who believed God, even in the most confusing of circumstances.

Commands and Promises

God has given both commands and promises in His Word. It’s not unusual for the follower of Christ to find themselves in a situation where the direction God seems to be leading them is away from what He has promised them. What do we do when the command seems contrary to the promise? Join us in our verse by verse study in Hebrews 11, as we take our final look at the faith of Abraham.

Faith and the End of Life

Navigating our way through the book of Hebrews we come to chapter 11 verse 20, where there’s a subtle shift in context. Up to this point we’ve seen how faith impacts us in our daily life and the struggles that life brings with it. But now we see how faith impacts a person at the end of their life. What we will learn is faith can cause us to finish well. Join us as we look at faith operating at the end of our lives.

Faith of Abel

In our study of Hebrews we come to a man by the name of Abel. What this man’s life shows us is that those who relate to God on the basis of faith have always suffered at the hands of legalistic and self-righteous people. After all, who turned Jesus over to the Romans to have him put to death? The self-righteous religious leaders of Israel. There has always been a war between those of Faith and those of Religion. Hebrews 11:4 now reveals how those who are of the “Faith” are to live.
