what lies beyond. That gives us a sense of balance as we look at
life. Life is unpredictable, but there are some things that are always

tough time, and that is what we're looking at in this eleventh chapter
of Hebrews.
Last week we noticed that faith triumphed over fear because of Who
it sees. Moses "saw Him who was invisible," and therefore he was not
afraid of the king. In the second place, notice...

IF IT SEEMS STRANGE, IT DOESN'T MEAN GOD ISN'T IN IT
Notice first of all, in Joshua 6:1-5, there was a very unusual
strategy to overcome the City of Jericho. Keep in mind that this was
the first city in the Promised Land. The children of Israel ...
