We all have stories and testimonies, but faith is sometimes challenging to maintain in a difficult situation. Every man is given a measure of faith. Some have more; some have less. The heroes of the faith we read about in Hebrews are heroes simply because they stuck with their faith. We would not even know their name if Abraham, Noah, or Moses had not maintained their faith. Noah took everything that God said and trusted what He said was true. The world looked at Noah like he was a fool, but Noah knew that rain was coming. Abraham left his home, not knowing where he was going. Later, Abraham learns he will have a son, even though he and his wife are old. Finally, God calls Abraham to sacrifice that same son. Abraham did not waver and had faith in God. We study these men, but it was not the men; their faith led them and allowed them to do great things for God. You can move mountains with faith, but the mountain will not be moved without it.

Ecclesiastes proclaims that finishing is better than beginning. Finishing a project is very satisfying. However, to finish, we must begin so that we can maintain what we stated. The Bible says that God rejoices to see the work begin, and so should we. Because if we begin the work, God will finish it. God wants to complete the work and not leave it unfinished. We have not come as far as we have to, only be where we are now.

We live in a world that devalues and diminishes the role of men. Our text describes men who came to help David during a difficult time. These men came to David in his wilderness stronghold. All that came were remarkable men of valor. These eleven men left the comfort of their homes to rally around David when he was regarded as an outcast. We must recognize that God brings men into our lives to serve as leaders in difficult times. The Bible describes these men as skilled and fit for the battle. They were brave veterans who stood by David and were an example of the kind of men needed in our world. On this Father’s Day, Brother Hughes uses these men of valor to illustrate the kind of man needed to lead our families today.

Some feel they have made it, but most of us are a work in progress. We are all on a journey. Our text tells us God’s work in us continues until the day of Jesus Christ. That means that none of us are complete. Our text speaks about planning for a construction project. When someone builds something, they must first consider the cost and if they have the means to complete it. We look around at businesses and buildings that sit empty and incomplete. The project started with great promise, but something happened, and work stopped along the way. The partially complete projects sit as unfinished testaments to the limitation of men. We need God to help us complete. We must acknowledge that we cannot do it alone and need His help to finish the work He began.
