The Great Hall of Faith

May 19, 2024 • J.D. Greear

One of the most inspiring chapters in the Bible is Hebrews 11, often referred to as the "Great Hall of Faith." But while the stories contained there are indeed powerful, we shouldn't regard the people in them as perfect or their faith as unattainable. In this week's message, Pastor J.D. begins our series through Hebrews 11 by helping us see what faith looks like in practice. Through the examples of Abel and Enoch, we're reminded that true faith is demonstrated when we believe in and act on God's promises—even when others around us don't.

August 25, 2024 • J.D. Greear • Hebrews 11

Faith often takes different shapes and forms throughout your life. Sometimes it means believing God for a miracle, while at other times it looks like trusting that God is good even when the miracle doesn't come. In this week's message, the finale of our Hebrews 11 series, Pastor J.D. encourages us with the truth that no matter where we find ourselves, our faith can be used to glorify God and point others to the gospel. What might God do through us as we continue the legacy of these great men and women of faith?

The Faith of a Prostitute: Rahab

August 18, 2024 • J.D. Greear • Hebrews 11

The beauty of faith is often found in its simplicity. You don't have to possess a wealth of theological knowledge to be captivated by the truth of the gospel. Maybe, like Rahab, you've simply heard what the Lord has done and you believe. In this week's message from Hebrews 11, Pastor J.D. explains how the faith of a Gentile prostitute changed the course of history and left an enduring legacy. In the same way, one simple act of faith on our part has the potential to make a profound, eternal difference in the lives of those around us.

Joseph: The Confidence of Faith | Curtis Andrusko

August 11, 2024 • Curtis Andrusko • Hebrews 11

When you think of Joseph, you may think of the famous "coat of many colors," or even of his bizarre dreams or his prominent position as Pharaoh's second-in-command. But you probably don't think of the instructions that Joseph gave for his own burial. In this week's message from Hebrews 11, Pastor Curtis shows us how throughout Joseph's life, whether he was in the palace or the prison, he remained confident that God was with him. How might our outlook on life change if we truly believed that God was with us at all times, no matter our circumstances?
