Bible Reading: Romans 5:1-2 “Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. ² Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.”

Text: Hebrews 11:1-3

The Fourth Warning–Hebrews 10:35-39

          We are not people who shrink back because we have faith.

What is faith?

          Faith involves things we don’t know and don’t see.

          Faith is looking to God as our source.

          Faith is knowing God knows more than we know.

          Faith is knowing God can provide more than what we have.

          Faith is knowing God knows what to do when we don’t know.

          Faith is obeying what God has told us to do or where He has told us to go.

What we have is not all there is that is available to us.

          Psalm 150 tells us that God owns the cattle on a thousand hills.

What we know is not all there is to know.

          Psalm 147—God’s understanding is infinite.

What we can do is not the limit of what God can do.

          Job 42 tells us that God can do all things. No purpose or plan of God can be thwarted.

Thwarted—to successfully oppose; to frustrate; or baffle.

Jesus is the superior person—chapters 1-6

Jesus is the superior High Priest—chapters 7-10

How to live by faith—chapters 11-13

Take time to read Hebrews 11 and get to know the people who are celebrated for their faith. The best way to develop faith is to hang folks who have faith. Get to know their stories and then live as they do.
