Hebrews 11 Jet Warren

Abraham the father of our faith. He was the father of many nations. He left a trail of footprints.

3 Footprints

Trust

He obeyed not knowing where he was going. Because of his faith he didn't have to.

Traveler

Lifestyle choice. He lived in a tent. He knew it was temporary. He was willing to move around for God. Are we seeking a home not here but in heaven?

Sacrifice

Abraham was going to sacrifice Issac. He was willing to make the necessary sacrifices. He had a deep faith. We have to believe that God is a promise keeper. Consider your residency?

Our place of safety is in God's house.
