Hebrews 11

11th January 2015

Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what

we do not see

1. Faith’s Worship

Abel offered a better sacrifice

Not because meat was better then wheat

But because it came from his heart

Our worship must never become an outward sham

Page 4: Hebrews 11 11 th January 2015. Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see

Abel’s blood cried out to God from the ground saying “guilty”!

Jesus offered the best sacrifice

Jesus’ blood cries out to God for us “NOT guilty”!

Our worship is to offer our whole lives to God in service

2. Faith’s Walk

Enoch walked faithfully with God

His walk pleased God

God took him away

He did not experience death

Page 6: Hebrews 11 11 th January 2015. Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see

Jesus always walked with God

He conquered death for us so that we can live for eternity

We are called to “walk humbly with God” – Micah 6:8

One day, we will be “taken up” to God

3. Faith’s Work

Noah built a boat miles from any water

He was preparing for an unknown future

The ark saved his family

The world did not believe him and was judged

Page 8: Hebrews 11 11 th January 2015. Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see

People today are living the same way as the people in Noah’s time

God has provided an “ark” - Jesus

There is room enough for everyone

Our work on earth is to warn people of the coming judgement

4. Faith’s Willingness

Abraham was called by God to sacrifice his own son

He trusted God and obeyed Him

His faith was credited to him as righteousness

He is known as the “father of all who believe” – Romans 4:11

Page 10: Hebrews 11 11 th January 2015. Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see

God did not spare His Son

Jesus was willing to die as a sacrifice for us

Faith in His sacrifice brings a righteousness that comes from God

Are we willing to die (to self) for Him?

5. Faith’s Waiting

All these people died before they received God’s promise

They were all strangers on earth waiting for their real home

They were longing for a “heavenly country” – God’s Kingdom

Page 12: Hebrews 11 11 th January 2015. Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see

Jesus is the fulfilment of all God’s promises

He has promised God’s Kingdom to those who love Him – James 2:5

He has prepared a home in heaven for us – John 14:2

Are we waiting in anticipation for our heavenly home?

6. Faith’s Wanderer

Moses was raised a prince

He chose to reject his upbringing and join God’s people

He regarded disgrace for Christ as more valuable than earthly treasures

He led God’s people through the Red Sea and for 40 years in the desert

Page 14: Hebrews 11 11 th January 2015. Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see

Jesus had always been with His Father in Heaven

He willingly left Heaven’s Glory for a life of poverty and death on a cross

He calls us to take up our cross and follow Him – Matt 16:24

Our time on earth is a “wandering in the desert” until we reach home

Page 15: Hebrews 11 11 th January 2015. Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see

7. Faith’s Witnesses

Countless martyrs have died for God

They loved God more than life

The world was not worthy of them

Their deaths are a witness to the reality of faith in God

Page 16: Hebrews 11 11 th January 2015. Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see

Christians are still dying for God

Jesus warned us that the world would hate us as it hated Him – John 15:18

You and I may be called to suffer for the name of Christ

Only faith in Him will see us through

Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what

we do not see

We can be sure of our home in Heaven and certain of the reward we will receive if we are faithful to God
