Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets: what are they doing in Hebrews 11 alongside the pillars of the faith like Abraham and Moses? These men conquered kingdoms, put armies to flight, and obtained promises through faith. However, the ultimate promise has been fulfilled by God through Jesus Christ. This greater reward is provided to those who persevere in faith.

Can I be a person of faith? We’ve considered the exemplary faith of the greats like Enoch, Noah, Abraham, and Moses. What about ordinary people like me? What about faith in the midst of fear and doubt? What about faith when you aren’t in the acceptable group? Join us in Hebrews 11:28-31 for Faith in Odd Places as we consider three major faith stretching events in Israel as a nation, plus the example of a Gentile prostitute who joined the people of faith. Is there room for you? 

Moses, the greatest leader of the Jewish people, faced more challenges in his life and leadership than any of us will. But his story is still informative and inspiring for us. We’re studying Hebrews 11:23-28, Faith in Hard Choices, to see how Moses’s faith in God gave him what he needed to serve well in difficult circumstances.

The examples of faith in the Old Testament had one thing in common: through the eyes of faith, they could see the coming fulfillment of the promises God had made to them, even if they didn’t see those promises fulfilled firsthand. What promises has God made to us? When will we see them fulfilled? Does having the same eyes of faith help us see God’s faithfulness? Join us as we dig into Hebrews 11:13-22, the Eyes of Faith.

As we journey through this life and season of Lent, we have the option of where we focus the expectations for our lives. Highlighting our example, Abraham, in Hebrews 11:8-12 and looking further to our example in Christ, Pastor Curtis Coston from Solid Word Bible Church will help us explore how our "Greater Permanence" can have a lasting effect on how we live in the present.

Special Guest: Curtis Coston.

Lent is the season leading to Easter. It’s traditionally a time of self-reflection and letting go of some things to focus on what matters more. We’ll spend time this Lent in Hebrews 11, seeing how those who have gone before us model faith in the unseen God and the greater life and hope he offers. Join us as we explore The Life of Faith from Hebrews 11:1-7.

Jesus is worth more than anything, but following him can be hard, painful, and costly. Difficulty and opposition may tempt us to turn back or turn aside – with disastrous results. Join us as we discover how Jesus gives us Grace to Endure from Hebrews 10:26-39.

"Since we…., Let us…” We’ve spent several weeks being reminded that Jesus’ death is the basis for our access to God, that we no longer offer sacrifices, and that the Old Testament sacrifices are but shadows of the only sacrifice that matters. We now come to the “so what” of this great truth in our relationships within the church. In light of Our Greater Savior who made the Greater Sacrifice, how does that affect how we live? Join us as we consider Greater Community from Hebrews 10:19-25.

Over and over again the author of Hebrews has told us that Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross was the final, ultimate, definitive sacrifice. No more sacrifices are needed. Where does that leave us? If there are no more sacrifices, how are we purified from our ongoing sin? Join us for “No More Sacrifices” as we look at Hebrews 10:5-18 and explore the ongoing work in our lives of Jesus’s final sacrifice.

As the writer of Hebrews tells us, the Old Testament law and the sacrificial system only had “a shadow of the good things to come,” they could never “make perfect those who draw near,” and they could never “take away sins.” Join us as we see the reality of all those good things and the “Greater Hope” we have in Christ from Hebrews 10:1-4.
