Do you think there are seasons when we sin more than others? My pastor keeps insisting that I ask myself if I'm saved. Is this healthy? Did God make Caesar Augustus issue the decree for a census, or did God just know it would happen? Why do Christians celebrate Christmas on December 25 when they know Jesus wasn't born then? What about people who've never heard the Gospel? Why does 1 John 2 say that we need no one to teach us? Is there a second chance to believe the Gospel after death? How should we respond to those who say we're still under the Law?

Does Galatians 2:20 say it's faith "in" Jesus or the faith "of" Jesus? How do I share the Gospel with unbelievers in an organic way? I've had panic attacks and wonder if it's because of my sins.

Will I be judged more harshly by God because I served as a pastor? If we are born spiritually dead, then what exactly dies with Christ at salvation? After all, why would a dead spirit need to die? Has the gift of healing gone away? Should we still pray for people's healing?

Isn't there really just one person in the Trinity- Jesus? Wasn't Jesus just praying to Himself? How do we explain someone who said they were a believer but now lives in a sexually sinful lifestyle? Where do we see God referring to Himself in the plural? Isn't this further evidence of the Trinity?

Should we take literally the Old Testament account of God creating the world and Noah’s family surviving a flood? What about people in remote places who’ve never heard the Gospel how can they be saved? How many people will be in Heaven a lot or only a tiny percentage of the Earth’s population?

Hebrews 11 answers these questions and so much more such as the important role of faith and why we have something better today than any Old Testament person experienced.

In this message, I address this important passage and all of these issues, hopping from one to the next at a fun pace. It will prove to be both informative and reassuring as your confidence in God’s grace grows even more.

Why does John 5:24 say we will not be judged if Hebrews 10:30 says the Lord will judge his people? Who is Melchizedek? Does God judge us for our past or the past of our ancestors? Are we to avoid every sin in the New Testament? If so, how? I lock myself in my room because I’m afraid of my father. I want to leave my home. Can you help? What do you think of passing the plate? Doesn’t this tend to pressure people to give?
