Through faith, God approved the lives of many who trusted Him without seeing the outcome. The world was created by the word of God and understood through faith. This chapter recounts people like Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Moses, and others who courageously followed God. They obeyed even when the path was unclear, knowing that God rewards those who seek Him and looking forward to promises that had not yet been fulfilled. Some conquered kingdoms, while others endured suffering and death; yet all were honored for their unwavering faith. They did not receive the final promise, for God planned something better. Together with believers in Jesus, they will be made complete in what God has prepared. We are called to live by faith, trusting in what we cannot yet see. Faith gives us confidence in God's promises and anchors our hope. Those who came before us lived this way. They obeyed God, even when the path was uncertain. We must follow the example of faithful men and women, walking courageously through trials with our sights set on heaven. We will not be perfect, but God will reward our consistent deference to His glory. Some of us will experience great victories, while others will endure tragic loss in this life. What unites us is a deep trust in God. He has reserved an eternal home for His people, where all will be made to live free from suffering. Mighty God, we thank You for the men and women who lived by faith and trusted You completely. They followed Your will, believed Your promises, and endured many trials with unwavering courage. Help us develop hearts like theirs, ready to obey even when the outcome is unclear. Teach us to walk by faith, knowing You will reward those who seek You. We commit to standing strong in the face of trials, opposition, and all challenges accompanying this life. May our faith grow deeper, as we calibrate our lives to long for the great resurrection and eternity in heaven with You. Thought Questions: How do you define the word “faith”? How is it different from works, and why is faith necessary for works of obedience to matter? Which example of faith in this chapter stands out as the most inspirational for you? How can you emulate that person in your faith? How can there be comfort and joy when Christians die unexpectedly, especially in great anguish as the result of religious persecution?
Fame, riches, approval, and more—chasing after these only leaves us empty and restless.The Book of Hebrews presents us with something better, and Someone greater to look to—to place all our hope, faith, and being into. Jesus is greater than anything or anyone else we could ever think of. Yet no matter how immensely superior He is to all, this same God still chooses to personally draw Himself closer to us, the same way that He did on the cross.
Hebrews 11 showcases figures like Abraham, who exemplify unwavering faith. Faith and perseverance are crucial, especially during persecution, and Hebrews 11 urges believers to trust in Christ. This chapter highlights the cost of following Jesus and the promise of eternal life, encouraging us to keep the faith.
We close this series on the life of Abraham in Hebrews 11 which is essentially a eulogy for Abraham. God called the first disciple to a life of faith. He calls every disciple to a life of faith. He's calling you too. Will you answer His call?

For the Sake of His Name Midpoint Series (Part 4)Faith produces courage—the strength to trust God and obey Him even when it's costly, countercultural, or dangerous.

Over the coming months and through our study of the book of Hebrews, we aim to meditate frequently on the glory of Jesus Christ. May our souls be revived by a constant view of his glory - in this book which invites us to consider Christ Jesus, the exalted Savior of weary pilgrims like us. This week we look to Hebrews 11:23-31.Faith fears God (V. 23, 27)“The fear of the Lord leads to life, and whoever has it rests satisfied…” Proverbs 19:23Faith chooses Christ (V. 25-26)“If we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.” - CS LewisFaith Takes Risks (V. 28-31)“You had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.” Hebrews 10:34“The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?” Hebrews 13:6 / Psalm 118:6“For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.” 1 Corinthians 5:17“Worthy is the lamb who was slain.” Revelation 5:12Life Group Discussion Questions: lifechurchnc.com/hebrewsLife Church exists to glorify God by making disciples who treasure Christ, grow together, and live on mission.

For the Sake of His Name Midpoint Series (Part 3)Many people start strong but don't finish well—but by God's grace, what matters most is how we end, trusting Him even when obedience feels costly or unclear. Hebrews 11 shows that lasting faith leaves a legacy, as those who endure in belief and obedience pass down a story of God's faithfulness to future generations.Scripture: Hebrews 11:17-22Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on October 19, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus.https://foothill.churchLearn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey:https://foothill.church/FTSOHN

This week we look to Hebrews 11:8-22.“The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran, and said to him, ‘Go out from your land and from your kindred and go into the land that I will show you.'” Acts 7:2-3He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power… Hebrews 1:3For we know him who said, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge his people.” It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

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.
Faith is defined as assurance in God's promises, distinct from wishful thinking, and is foundational for forgiveness. Jesus embodies God's nature and is central to faith. Enoch's life and Methuselah's naming illustrate intercession and judgment, while Noah's obedience exemplifies faith in action, leading to righteousness and hope for salvation. The message encourages a personal relationship with God through faith and forgiveness.
It's tempting at times to read the Bible through a human-centric lens, as though we are the main character in each narrative. But in so doing, we're in danger of missing the larger point of stories like Joshua and the city of Jericho.
Discover how Noah's story in Hebrews 11:7 reveals the power of Christian faith amid chaos. In this sermon, Pastor Brian explores building with "holy fear"—careful obedience to God's word—and how living out faith condemns the world's ways, from generosity with money to sacred romance. Learn to anchor your life in Christ's ark to rise above life's floods of brokenness and judgment.Key takeaways:-Everyone has faith; the question is where you place it.-Noah's obedience saved his family and became an heir of righteousness.-Jesus takes the hit for us—celebrate with communion reflection.If you're facing trials, seeking deeper faith, or studying Genesis/Hebrews, this message will inspire you to act on God's warnings.
For the Sake of His Name Midpoint Series (Part 2)Faith believes God's promises and reveals itself through ongoing obedience—the “obedience of faith.” But at its core, faith's desire is for something better; it longs for what God has promised more than the comforts of this world, trusting and obeying Him as it seeks a better country and a lasting home with Him.Scripture: Hebrews 11:8-16Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on October 12, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus.https://foothill.churchLearn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey:https://foothill.church/FTSOHN

There is something in each of us that cries out for acceptance, that longs for blessing. And while the culture around us strives for this acceptance to the point of exhaustion, the gospel says that God's acceptance of us is strictly a gift of grace that can't be earned.

Faith is defined as assurance in the unseen, underscoring the importance of perseverance and support among believers.

Though widely known, the story of Noah and the ark is one that tends to be misinterpreted by many in today's society. Far from being a tame bedtime story, it gives us a glimpse of the response of a holy God to the depravity of sin.
