Hebrews 11:1-6
Faith is a word that gets thrown around a lot in our culture. - We say, ''I'm a person of faith.'' ''What faith are you?'' - ''Hey man, you gotta have faith.'' ''Keep the faith!'' ''Don't lose faith!''
Your team is down a TD with 3 min. to go and the ball... Believe! Keep the faith!

Hebrews 11:1-7 - Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old received their commendation. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.
