- 839 Faith Sees What Eyes Cannot Hebrews 11:1–3 (Jesus Is Better, Part 26)
Friday, September 4th: Hebrews 11:1–3 teaches that faith is not wishful thinking, denial, or confidence that life will unfold according to our desires. Biblical faith is confident trust in God’s character and promises. It allows the future He has promised and the unseen reality He has revealed to shape how we live and obey today. This episode explores the biblical concept of faith, emphasizing its foundation in God's character and promises. It discusses how faith influences our present decisions amid unseen future promises and encourages trust in God's faithfulness during seasons of waiting.

Thursday, September 3rd: Hebrews 10:32–39 calls weary believers to remember how God sustained them through earlier suffering.

Friday, August 28th: Hebrews 10:1–10 describes the law and its repeated sacrifices as a shadow pointing toward Jesus.

Tuesday, August 25th: Hebrews 9:1–10 takes us inside the tabernacle, where every object and ritual revealed both God’s holiness and humanity’s distance from Him.
