THE HIGH COST OF FAITHFULNESS
Hebrews 11:33-40
...finish up this great chapter of faith this morning, beginning with verse 32 going
through verse 40. Let's bow for prayer together as we begin our study.
Lord, it's always thrilling, it's always exciting to be in Your house. To

and we will deal with it as we come to the end of Hebrews chapter 11. Because that

Now we come to the 32nd verse here of our study and we see a listing of people.
They join all the men and women of faith we studied in Hebrews chapter number 11
and we have looked at 15 of them. We've engaged in a study of biography, because
in one sense, history is a story of people. But from our perspective as men and
women of faith. History is more than a story of people. It is a stor ...
