Father Abraham
Hebrews 11:8-10

And it was through Jesus that the promise to Abraham was fulfilled that he would be The Father of Many Nations.

He believed and THEN he obeyed. And he obeyed EVEN THOUGH he didn’t know where he was going.

So the question for you this morning is this: IF God called you to do something for Him…would you do it?

If I had a loyal friend who was willing to do things for ME and I found that they needed something…I’d find a way to help them.

That WAY was the only way (because God led him along it) and that GATE was THE GATE that Abraham was going to have to enter to make it to the Promised Land.

If you want to go where God wants you to go, you’ve got to go by HIS WAY, and thru HIS Gate. And Jesus is the ONLY Gate and the ONLY Way!!!!

A Voyage of Faith
Hebrews 11:7, Genesis 6:9-9:17

I believe that there was a literal man named Noah who built a huge boat filled with every kind of animal–a boat that survived a world-wide flood that washed the earth clean of all evil. And THEN…God started all over again.

Do you realize that Noah had probably never seen a flood? In fact, the Bible implies that he’d never even seen it rain.

“It’s one thing to say you believe in something, but so much more to prove it.”

But, in spite of the mocking and laughter and even hatred he probably experienced, Noah still had to build the boat.

Noah’s total faith and trust had to be in GOD and in God’s ONE PLAN of salvation.

He gave them over 100 years to repent, but they just didn’t want to change their lives…so they died.

You see, the only thing you need to decide is this:
Are you willing to accept Jesus on his terms?

Walk Like a Man
Genesis 5:21-24, Hebrews 11:5

Someone once noted that Genesis chapter 5 is often called the Graveyard Chapter of Scripture.

And Enoch’s desire to walk with God so impressed God that Enoch got to live forever!!!!

The most important thing to God appears to be that we want to walk with Him!

It’s saying that when I walk with God, I can walk through the darkest and scariest things of life without ever being afraid, because He is right there with me!!!!

So, the more we walk with God, the more we’ll sense the presence of that fruit of the Spirit in our lives.

You might mess things up as you walk with God, but once you get a taste of walking with God, you’ll never want to go back to the old way of life.

A Faith That En-Ables
Hebrews 11:1-4

In other words, Cain’s evil actions didn’t start with murdering his brother.

The problem (for Israel) wasn’t with the gifts. The problem was with the giver.

By contrast, Abel’s objective was to be pleasing to God, and that’s what his faith was all about…PLEASING GOD!

God judges our greatness by the size of our faith, not by the size of our accomplishments.

Instead, it’s the WHY you did what you did! Did you do–what you did–because you loved Him???

What I’m saying is–Abel’s sacrifice pointed forward to WHO Jesus was and WHAT Jesus did at the cross.
