As we conclude the book of Hebrews, the author has some final encouragement for every Christian's prayer life. Sanctified in Truth will return December 1 as we celebrate Advent and the Christmas season!

God's people have always honored him by offering sacrifices. What kind of sacrifices should we offer God and what is our motivation for offering sacrifices to him?

The Bible could be said to be a story of two mountains--Mt. Sinai and Mt. Zion. What is the significance of the mountains and what is the difference? 

On the last episode we saw that God disciplines his children out of love and care and on this episode we will explore various forms that the discipline takes as God pushes us toward endurance.

The writer of Hebrews says that God disciplines his children . . . and that the discipline of God is a good thing! What does the Bible mean when it speaks of discipline and why should we be thankful for it?

As we conclude our exploration of faith this week we are reminded that faith is no guarantee of an outcome and see that faith always points us to the faithfulness of God.

Moses is a stunning example of faith. Moses showed faith in what he did. Moses showed faith in what he believed. Moses also teaches us that faith is about what we love. Moses' life is a reminder that one way we demonstrate faith is through what we value.

Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph all lived by faith, and in faith, pursued what God promised them. Today we see what we can learn from their faith and how we can learn to look forward to what God promises us and to pursue it with certainty.

As we continue learning about faith from Hebrews 11 we examine three examples from the OT that show that faith believes in who God is and lives in such a way that demonstrates his worth.

All this week we will be exploring Hebrews 11 to better understand faith. Today we look at what faith is and how it is so much richer and more concrete than we may realize.
