The Roll Call Of Faith
Enoch - Walking By Faith
April 10, 2024 • Pastor Chad Thompson • Hebrews 11:5–6
Enoch teaches us that by faith we can walk with God in such a way that we please God. By faith we can walk so closely with God and sense His presence and power that we look for our blessed hope, the return of Christ and the rapture that will occur.
Noah - Moved By Faith
April 3, 2024 • Pastor Chad Thompson • Hebrews 11:7
Noah was a man whose fear (trust) in God motivated him to build an ark. He was moved by faith to prepare an ark in which he saved his house (family), condemned the world, and became an inheritor of righteousness. What is your faith moving you to do? Real faith moves believers to action. Do you have real faith?
Abel - Vapor With A Voice
March 20, 2024 • Pastor Chad Thompson • Hebrews 11:1–4
Abel responded to God in faith by bringing an appropriate offering in sacrifice. Because he obeyed by faith, he won God's approval. God testified to Abel's faith. And to this day, Abel's faith is still speaking to us; pointing us to the way of faith, i.e. responding in obedience to what God has revealed to us in His Word.
The Principle Of Faith
March 13, 2024 • Pastor Chad Thompson • Hebrews 11:1–7
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!
