  3. Hebrews 11 Heroes of the FaithThe key to perseverence is faith Heb 11:1 Faith is being certain of what we do not see. It requires that we deny our senses. Heb 11:3 What is seen was not made from the visible Heb 11:6 Faith… must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

  4. Why were these men and women commended by God? • They refused what the world calls greatness and staked everything on God. • They chose what is unseen rather than what is seen. Lesson: In many ways, our worst enemy is success and prosperity. What the world seeks is what will destroy everything that is important. Example: Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego Daniel Ch. 3 What could they see?????

  5. Daniel Chapter Three • The fires of persecution. • “I will bow my head, but not my heart.” • What would you have done? • The God we serve is able…. But even if he does not…

  8. Abraham at Mt. Moriah “The things of God seemed to fight against the things of God and faith fought with faith and the commandment fought with the promise” Yet…. Abraham obeyed the command. Heb 11:19 He Reasoned

  9. We Need to Follow Abraham… Out of Ur To Mt. Moriah

  10. Those of whom the world was not worthy • Hebrews 11:13 Still living by faith (not by sight) when they died. • xenoiforiegners, aliens, strangers, refugees in this world. • parepidemos sojourners, temporary residents, green card holders, people who do not put down roots. • Lived by faith despite never seeing the promise fulfilled. • Therefore, God is not ashamed to call them his.

  11. By Faith… By faith Moses gave up worldly success and fortune. By faith Moses saved Israel. By faith the walls of Jericho fell. By faith ordinary people did great things for God.
