My mom and I watched an amazing video called “The Firing Squad” this week which was based on a true story.  The story was inspiring and challenging. It made me want to be faithful until the end in all things, no matter what by God’s grace. Look at what the Word says: Revelation 2:10 “10…

What a walk through Hebrews 11 it has been! Has your faith been challenged as mine has? We have been focusing on Hebrews 11:32-40 which we finish today in verses 39-40. “39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: 40 God having provided some better thing for us, that…

Today’s passage shows the trials that people went through while serving God faithfully. Hebrews 11:35b-38 “35…and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: 36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: 37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain…

Hebrews 11:32-40 As we complete the chapter, the author of Hebrews shows that there is not room to tell all the stories of the faithful. Look at what these people saw through faith! Let’s look at verses 34-35: “34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong,…

Yesterday, we read Hebrews 11:32-40 to see the amazing lives of those who had faith in God. Hebrews 11:32-33 “32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: 33 Who…

The next set of verses in the Hall of Faith are quite incredible. Join me as we read and meditate on them today before we begin our slow stroll through them. Several things astound me as I look at the list: They were ordinary people placed in extraordinary circumstances who walked with God, obeyed, and…

Hebrews 11:30 “30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.” We have seen the faith of Moses. Now we see that the faith continues as Joshua leads the children of Israel. Jericho looms large. Joshua simply obeys God and believes Him. Faith. We know what happened. The…

We have been parked on Hebrews 11:23-29 for seven days as we stroll through Hebrews 11. I have been challenged and encouraged by these verses. The same is true of today’s verse, Hebrews 11:29. “29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned”…

Moses was a man of great, great faith. As we look at verse 28 in our slow stroll through Hebrews 11, something stands out to me. “28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.” First we see that he followed God faithfully…

We continue looking at Hebrews 11:23-29, today looking at verse 27. Moses and his parents both had amazing faith. He chose God. He chose suffering. He could have had riches and a life of ease, but chose God. At the time he first made that choice, did he know what God had for Him? “27…
