The Key to Pleasing God (1 of 5)
by David Cawston
''What it means to have faith'' Heb 11:1 1 ''Now faith is ...is Present tense! ''the substance of things hoped for...''A word form God ''...the evidence of things not seen.'' Evidenced by my actions! Focused on what I See with my spiritual eyes! What it means to have faith is that my current beliefs must be firmly rooted in God and built upon what He says about the situation to trust Him enough to act accordingly! 2. ''The Cost of Real Faith'' Heb 11:4 4 By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks...
Faith Makes the Difference
by Adrian Rogers
Have you found Hebrews 11? Keep turning to it. Hebrews chapter 11, and this afternoon, or this morning rather -I scared you a little bit, I'm sure, when I said ''this afternoon.'' I don't know why I said that, but I just may preach on to the afternoon. You wouldn't mind that, would you? Don't answer that. I want us to think on, the second in this series of messages that we're bringing on God's Hall of Fame, how to be in God's Hall-of Fame. And, of course, the thing that will put you into God's Hall of Fame is faith! It is faith that makes the difference. And that's what we're -our sermon subject is this morning, ''Faith Makes the Difference....
How to Fulfill God's Will in Spite Your Fears
by Marvin D. Patterson
There's so much in this chapter that's applicable to help us live by faith and trust God in our daily lives! Gives two ways, 1-Sight, 2-Faith. When saved, live by faith - wonderful way to live - totally depending on God! Faith brings the power of God into our lives! Example: Lights in Church! Hebrews 11 - By Faith - Abraham, Isaiah, Jacob, Joseph, Mary - claimed the power of God! We turn our attention from faith in one minute - to faith in entire nation! INTRODUCTION 1. (Attention) Fear keeps us from enjoying life, and from going forward in our Christian walk. Problems differ - too severe. We cannot live in our own strength - we need...
Those We Remember
by Daniel Rodgers
Illustration: In 1994, Dr. James Dobson included in his monthly newsletter a letter written by Major Sullivan Ballou of the Union Army, to his beloved wife, Sarah. There is no better illustration of commitment to principle and honor than is seen in this letter written a week before the battle of Bull Run, July 14, 1861. They had been married only six years. My Very Dear Sarah: The indications are very strong that we shall move in a few days - perhaps tomorrow. Lest I should not be able to write again, I feel impelled to write a few lines that may fall under your eye when I shall be no more... I have no misgivings about or lack of confidence in the cause in...
Faith That Pleases God (21 of 29)
by Robert Dawson
Our house may be unique in this way - though I seriously doubt it - but there is a scene that unfolds regularly, too regularly. You will be enjoying a quiet and relaxing moment (few and far between) or busy doing something else when you hear someone in the family (usually on of the kids) holler, ''Mom, Dad come here!'' But, they refuse to tell you what they want or need. So you shout back, ''What do you want?!'' To which they respond, ''Come here.'' To which you respond, ''No, not until you tell me what you want!'' Why? Why do we respond that way? 1.When it comes to our children, maybe we could say that we want to teach them that...
Faith (9 of 11)
by Zach Terry
INTRODUCTION: Before we were called, ''Christians'' we were called, ''Believers''. Belief or Faith is the essence of Christianity. If faith is the essence of who we are, it is incredibly important that we understand the essence of faith. If there were one thing for the enemy to pervert or mislead it is obviously faith! There are 2 Popular Unbiblical Views of Faith: 1.Faith is Something We Use to Control God - So in other words if you want God to do something you just have to ''FAITH'' him into it. If you can grit your teeth and work up enough faith... God has to work on your behalf. First let me say if you think you can control the Ancient of Days...
Faith Inspires (9 of 10)
by Stephen Whitney
Ordinary people sometimes do extra ordinary things because of their circumstances or out of fear or to protect themselves. Sometimes we hear about what they did on the evening news or on an a television show such as ABC's 20/20. The Bible is filled with stories of ordinary people who because of their faith in God did extra ordinary things such as: Jochebed the mother of Moses who hid him instead of allowing him to be killed or Esther who went into the king's presence even though she had not been invited and could have lost her life. Faith inspires ordinary people to do extra ordinary things because they beleive in the...
What It Means To Have Faith (1 of 8)
by Stan Coffey
Aren't you glad that we are in an army that never has to retreat? We always move forward in faith. And that is the topic and the theme of this series of messages, forward in faith. To be broken and spilled out, all that we are to the Lord and to move forward against any obstacle, against any foe, as a church body and as individuals in our Christian walk. I want you to turn to Hebrews 11:6 as we begin a series today entitled Facing Life With Faith. There are two handles by which you can grasp the unknown future. You can either grasp it by the handle of fear and say what is going to happen, or you can grasp it by the handle of faith and know...
When Faith Really Counts
by Robert Walker
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 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. (Hebrews 11:5-6 AV) The most powerful principle in the whole world is the principle of faith. I believe we need to pray everyday Lord increase our faith. Hebrews 11:1 says, ''Faith is the substance of things hope for and the evidence of things not see. The most important scripture to me is found in Hebrews...
The Last Home (8 Of 8)
by Jerry Vines
This passage is talking about the Old Testament saints and they are looking forward to the future and the promises of God. It says about them in verse 13, these all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly; wherefore God is not...

Understanding Faith
by Adrian Rogers
Turn please to Hebrews chapter eleven, I want to talk to you tonight about understanding faith. Now, folks, I don't know what else you do in the Christian world but if you don't believe God everything else is a failure because the bible says without faith it's impossible to please God and if you displease God it doesn't matter whom you please and really if you please God it doesn't matter whom you please and the way to please God is to believe God and in order to believe God you're going have to understand what we're talking about when we talk about faith. Nowhere in the bible can I find a definition of faith. We do find a description...
Faith Acts (3 of 10)
by Stephen Whitney
Early explorers like Christopher Columbus, made his first voyage from Spain to the West Indies in 1492, only using a compass along with charts which showed the position of the sun, moon and stars to navigate the more than 4,000 miles across the oceans. About 200 years later the sextant was invented which had a 120 degree arc so sailors could determine the angle between an object in the sky and the horizon and as a result know their latitude and longitude on the oceans. Navigational devises were important if you were going to reach your destination. Gary Inrig wrote, ''Navigators are people who are headed for...
Excited Anticipation (2 of 4)
by Jeff Strite
OPEN: In college, Ken Davis (a popular youth speaker) was asked to prepare a lesson to teach his speech class. They were to be graded on their creativity and ability to drive home a point in a memorable way. The title of his talk was, "The Law of the Pendulum." He spent 20 minutes carefully teaching the physical principle that governs a swinging pendulum. The law of the pendulum is: A pendulum can never return to a point higher than the point from which it was released. Because of friction and gravity, when the pendulum returns, it will fall short of its original release point. Each time it swings it makes less and less of...
When Our Blessings Become a Curse (3 of 8)
by Ernest Easley
Again this morning ... as our Journey in Faith continues ...we find ourselves in God's Hall of Faith! So... take God's Word and join me in Hebrews 11. As we move closer to Sunday ... March 14th ... which is our Commitment Sunday ... the day we make our 3-year pledge over and above our regular giving to our Journey in Faith project ... the anticipation and suspense continues to build! God has given us a God-Size vision! A vision so big ... so large that without Him ... it's going to fail! And do you think that concerns me? Absolutely not! In fact ... that's what excites me the most about Journey in Faith! If all we were going to do...
Moses' Decision
by Charles H. Spurgeon
Last Sabbath day we spoke upon the faith of Rahab. We had then to mention her former unsavory character and to show that, notwithstanding, her faith triumphed and both saved her and produced good works. Now, it has occurred to me that some persons would say, "This faith is, no doubt, a very suitable thing for Rahab and persons of that class; a people destitute of sweetness and light may follow after the Gospel, and it may be a very proper and useful thing for them, but the better sort of people will never take to it." I thought it possible that, with a sneer of contempt, some might reject all faith in God, as being unworthy of persons of...
The Beautiful Nature of Earth (17 of 29)
by Robert Dawson
There is a story that has made its rounds through the years about a man who had despaired of life climbing the railing of the Brooklyn Bridge and was about to leap into the river when a policeman caught him by the collar and pulled him back. The man protested and was visibly upset that they officer had saved him. He said, ''You don't understand how miserable I am and how hopeless my life is. Please let me jump.'' The officer was kind hearted and said, ''I'll make a deal with you. Take five minutes and give me your reasons why life is hopeless and not worthy living and then I'll take five minutes and give my reasons why I think life is worth...
