THE HALL OF FAITH [7]

HEBREWS 11:32-40


Pastor Rick Jackson


I. THE PEOPLE WITHOUT GOD [v. 32]


1. Indecisive Without God [Gedeon and Barak]


2. Inconsequential Without God [Samson, Jephthae, David]


3. Incomplete Without God [Samuel & the prophets]


II. THE POTENTIAL WITH GOD [v. 33-38]


1. Glorious Victories With God [v. 33-35a]


2. Painful Victories With God [v. 35b-37a]


3. Unseemly Victories With God [v. 37b-38]


Glorious we understand, but painful and unseemly victories? With God yes! Romans 8:31-39,




III. THE PROVISION OF GOD [v. 39-40]


1. A Good Report [v. 6, 39a]


Good report card does mean graduation day with all its honors, pomp, and ceremony.

Revelation 14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

Hebrews 11:4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.


2. A Delayed Reception [v. 39b]


3. A Glorious Reunion [v. 40]
