Living by Faith: Hebrews 11:1–7In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane begin their journey through Hebrews 11, the great “Hall of Faith.” They unpack the definition of faith as confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Looking at the examples of Abel, Enoch, and Noah, they explore what it means to live a life that pleases God through trust and obedience. This conversation will encourage you to step out in faith, even when the path ahead isn't clear, knowing that God always honors those who seek Him.____________________________________Connect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams____________________________________ Get Jamie's Newest Book:Living Loved: An 8-week Journey to Living Fully Loved

There's often a great misconception when it comes to faith - specifically the Christian faith, as it pertains to living by and acting upon it. Unfortunately, many have assumed and been taught that faith is merely wishful thinking, reduced down to blind hope. This couldn't be farther from the truth. In this message, we discuss what it means to possess faith in Jesus and how faith in God is rooted in knowledge and confidence. Ultimately, Jesus' resurrection brings validity to every page of the Bible, and thus creates a firm foundation on which we can place our faith. Hebrews 11 memorializes the many believers across the Redemption Story who acted upon faith in God, after they placed their trust in His Word and Promises. As they found a new way of living, so can we- if we place our trust in what God has said and done. God's track record is forever settled and recorded in His Word, so it's up to us to trust Him and the Holy Spirit will prove to us that we've made the right choices.

SERMON: THE DANGER OF UNFRUITFUL FAITHSCRIPTURE: Hebrews 6:4-12 SERIES: HOLDING ON TO THE GREATER
Recorded 07/20/2025 Pastor Larry G. Stephens brings a message on the biblical faith. Looking a Hebrews chapter 11:1-3, Pastor Larry brings out the following: I. “Faith” is Biblically Defined: II. “By Faith,” We Know God Provided Something Better: Things "hoped for:" 1. The church must hope to continue to move forward with the gospel: 2. The church must hope for light in times of darkness. 3. The church must hope that their faith will increase throughout. 4. The church must have hope for the future and for gospel advancement. The church must replace despair with joy, worry with peace, indecisiveness with godly wisdom, fearfulness with courage, self-empowerment with Holy Spirit enablement.
Send us a textThe last half of Hebrews 10 contains a bold and timely message: because of Christ's once-for-all sacrifice, believers now have full, confident access to God!This is a major turning point in the letter. After 9.5 chapters of deep theological teaching, the author of Hebrews pivots from doctrine to application. The message is bold and timely: because of Christ's once-for-all sacrifice, believers now have full, confident access to God. No longer restricted by an earthly temple or mediated by a human priest, we can draw near to God directly—boldly, sincerely, and with full assurance of faith. The author lays out a threefold exhortation: draw near to God, hold fast to our hope, and stir up one another to love and good works.AFFILIATE NOTE: I first studied biblical Hebrew remotely through the Israel Institute of Biblical Studies.

Those that believe to the saving of the soul cannot draw back into perdition, because Faith coupled with God's grace keeps them. The writer shows what true Faith looks like in the lives of the OT patriarchs.

*Some Additional things God requires of us*# 1. *Act Justly**Micah 6:8* – *“He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly…”*Justice isn't just a courtroom word—it's a lifestyle. God calls us to fairness, honesty, and standing up for the oppressed. Think of *Joseph*, who, though wronged by his brothers and imprisoned unjustly, chose integrity over revenge when he rose to power in Egypt.---#2. *Love Mercy**Micah 6:8* (continued) – *“…to love mercy…”*Mercy is love in action. Jesus showed this when He forgave the woman caught in adultery (John 8:1–11), reminding us that compassion triumphs over condemnation. We're called to extend grace, even when it's undeserved.---# 3. *Walk Humbly with God**Micah 6:8* (continued) – *“…and to walk humbly with your God.”*Humility is recognizing that we need God every step of the way. *Moses*, though a great leader, was called the most humble man on earth (Numbers 12:3). He leaned on God's presence, not his own strength.---# 4. *Love God Wholeheartedly***Matthew 22:37* – *“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”*This is the heartbeat of faith. *David*, a man after God's own heart, danced before the Lord with abandon (2 Samuel 6:14). Loving God means putting Him first—in worship, in decisions, in dreams.---# 5. *Love Your Neighbor**Matthew 22:39* – *“Love your neighbor as yourself.”*This love is practical—feeding the hungry, forgiving offenses, and building bridges. The *Good Samaritan* (Luke 10:25–37) didn't just feel compassion—he acted on it. That's the kind of love God desires.---# 6. *Obey His Commands**John 14:15* – *“If you love Me, keep My commandments.”*Obedience isn't about rules—it's about relationship. *Noah* built an ark when it had never rained. His obedience saved generations. When we trust God enough to obey, we step into His promises.---# 7. *Live by Faith**Hebrews 11:6* – *“Without faith it is impossible to please God…”*Faith is the fuel of the Christian life. *Abraham* left everything familiar, trusting God's promise. Faith means believing even when we can't see the outcome—and that pleases God deeply.---These are not just divine checklists—they're invitations to a deeper, richer walk with God. When we live justly, love deeply, and walk humbly, we reflect the very heart of our Creator.Pst Leke Toba.
In Hebrews 10:19-25 we are encouraged to keep running our race of faith by drawing near to God, by holding fast to our confession of hope, by stirring up one another to love and good works, and by continuing to gather as God's church, all because of the perfect, once-for-all sacrifice of Jesus and the never-ending faithfulness of God to his promises.

Finding Jesus in Unexpected Places - Asleep in the Boat Mark 4:35-41 (NIV)“That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, ‘Let us go over to the other side.' Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, ‘Teacher, don't you care if we drown?' He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, ‘Quiet! Be still!' Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. He said to his disciples, ‘Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?' They were terrified and asked each other, ‘Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!'” 1. Jesus says to them, “Let's go over to the other side…” 1 John 4:17-18 (ESV)By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. 2. Responses to Fear in Life.1. Evasion2. Control3.

This exposition focuses on Hebrews 13:7-9, emphasizing the characteristics of a faithful Christian. The passage encourages believers to remember their leaders who have spoken the Word of God, consider the outcome of their lives, and imitate their faith. It also highlights the unchanging nature of Jesus Christ and warns against being led away by diverse and strange teachings, urging Christians to be strengthened by grace.Key PointsRemembering Leaders: Christians are called to remember and consider their local leaders who faithfully teach God's Word. These leaders are examples of faith and practice, and their lives should reflect a love for and devotion to God's Word.Imitating Faith: Believers are encouraged to imitate the faith of their leaders, not because they are perfect, but because their lives point to Christ. This includes observing their doctrine and how they live it out.Christ's Unchanging Nature: Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. This truth provides stability and assurance for Christians, especially in times of hardship and change.Warning Against False Teachings: Christians are warned not to be led away by diverse and strange teachings. Instead, they should rely on the grace of God for spiritual strength, rather than outward practices or traditions.ApplicationPray for and support local church leaders who faithfully teach God's Word.Examine the lives and teachings of leaders to ensure they align with Scripture.Hold firmly to the unchanging truth of Jesus Christ and His Word.Be cautious of teachings that deviate from the gospel and rely on God's grace for spiritual growth.
