The Principle Of Faith

Lesson 1

March 13, 2024 • Pastor Chad Thompson • Hebrews 11:1–7

Give

True biblical faith is confident obedience to God’s Word in spite of circumstances and consequences. It is not simply an intellectual belief. It is revealed in us volitionally as we act on what we believe. The writer of Hebrews makes it clear that faith is very practical. Faith enables us to understand what God does. Faith enables us to see what others cannot see. As a result, faith enables us to do what others cannot do!

Joshua & Rahab - Victorious Faith

June 5, 2024 • Pastor Chad Thompson • Hebrews 11:23–29

We can learn a great deal about victorious faith from both Joshua and Rahab. We learn that to live out a victorious faith, you must have a personal encounter with God (Jesus) and you must submit to His commands. When you do, you can experience a work of God that has no human explanation, like Joshua and Rahab in the victory and salvation God gave in the battle of Jericho.

Moses - Warring By Faith

May 29, 2024 • Pastor Chad Thompson • Hebrews 11:23–29

Moses life of faith can be divided into three 40 year periods: 40 years of training in Egypt, 40 years of training in the desert, and 40 years of doing what he was trained to do in the previous 80 years. All along the way he had a faith that was tested and tried. He had to learn to war by faith. If we’re going to follow in the footsteps of Moses, waiting, watching, walking, and warring in faith, then we should make the same decisions he made: 1) We must refuse to go with the flow of a sinful society. 2) We must leave the familiar to venture into the foreign. 3) We must swallow our pride and be willing to do the unusual.

Isaac, Jacob, Joseph - Blessing By Faith

May 15, 2024 • Pastor Chad Thompson • Hebrews 11:20–22

Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph each had faith even unto the end of their days. But the thing the author of Hebrews zeros in on that they utilized their faith to extend a blessing to their children. Every parent has a God-given responsibility to bless their children. From the word “blessing” we get our word eulogy—“to speak well of.” There three lessons we can learn from these men of faith about blessing by faith. 1) The blessing is a spiritual tool giving hope to your children for the future 2) The blessing is another way of you worshipping God 3) The blessing is a means of interlocking the past with the future
