Star Wars

Hebrews 11
Turning please, to Hebrews, Chapter 11, and, uh, we begin reading in Verse 1. We're continuing our series of messages in Hebrews, Chapter 11: God's Hall of Fame. The title of our message today is "Star Wars." "Star Wars." Hebrews, Chapter 11, and Verse 1.
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report." And then Verse 6: "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."

And the Bible says concerning the armies of Barak, God's hero, "They fought from Heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera." "The stars in their courses fought against Sisera."
Now, let me give you the background for the passage of Scripture that we're going to study. And, incidentally, most of it will be in Judges, Chapter 4. But let me just tell you that Israel was in a deplorable condition. Sin was pandemic. The people had turned from God and had gone into idol worship, and God had sent judgment, and the armies of the Canaanites had surrounded, uh, the people of Israel. And for twenty years they had been subjugated. The ...
