Journeying in Hebrews chapter 11, our inspired author speaks of the faith of Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, and Sarah. They were looking forward to promises that were distant from them. They were looking for a homeland, but we would be wrong to think that they were primarily thinking of a temporal home. Their faith was ultimately looking forward to that heavenly country which God alone can offer to His people.

As we enter the 11th chapter of The Letter to the Hebrews, we come to an introduction to the subject of faith. Today, we will see that faith is not only the means, by God's grace, of our justification, but is also the means by which we are convinced of all that God has promised.

Continuing our journey through the examples of faith offered in Hebrews 11, we come to Sarah. In Sarah, we see a person often criticized for their lack of faith, yet who the Holy Spirit holds up to believers as a model to follow in trusting the promises of God.

As we continue through the examples of faith offered to us in Hebrews chapter 11, we come to Abraham. When he was called to get up and leave his home, going to a land that God would only afterward show him, Abraham obeyed, believing the word and promise of God. Abraham is surely a model of living by faith before our great God.

As we prepare to enter Hebrews chapter 11, and recognizing that it has been 6 months since we were last in this book, we have decided to have a single sermon review. Looking back to Hebrews 10-19-39, we will see that it sets the stage for the argument of Hebrews 11. Yes, these Hebrew believers have endured hardship, but they have endured nothing that is not common to the saints of God throughout time. The Saints endure such times by faith-

As we continue our journey through the 11th chapter of Hebrews, we come to Noah. Here is a man who is commanded by God to build an Ark to save his family in the midst of a coming devastation. Yet the coming judgment is such that Noah had never seen anything like it. By faith, Noah believed the promise of God and obeyed in the building of the Ark. In this way, he and his family survived, being the means by which God would continue to keep His great promise.

As we continue through the 11th chapter of the Letter to the Hebrews, we come to the life and walk of Enoch. Here is one of the greatest figures of the Old Testament Scriptures. Enoch pleased God by living a life of faith and God took him so that he would not see death. In this way, Enoch serves as both a reminder that God will deliver His people, and that we, like Enoch, should walk with God by faith.

As we begin to survey the faith of those listed in Hebrews chapter 11, we start with righteous Abel. By faith, he offered a more excellent sacrifice than his brother Cain. Today, we will discuss what this means and how it reminds us that salvation has always been by faith in the redemptive promise of almighty God.
