Background; led by God; faith in numbers.

Joseph's story, faith and the end of his life.

Has somebody ever asked you to do something that seems so far beyond your understanding, comprehension or abilities? Noah responded in obedience. Noah responded, despite the length of time everything would take. Noah followed through on everything God asked of him. Noah responded, even though the ask was far beyond his understanding, comprehension or abilities. Noah responded, despite not knowing the whole picture.

Jacob was running from God, running from Esau, running from Laban; then he was running to God and running to the finish.

The power of blessing; our need for blessing; God’s plan for blessing.

Sarah's story, struggles and steadfastness.

The origins of Enoch’s faith; the object of Enoch’s faith—was God; the outcome of Enoch’s faith.

What made Abel’s offering a better offering than Cain’s? Why was Abel commended as righteous? How is Abel still speaking?

We can be confident in faith, commended for faith and creation is by faith.

The waiting game; the unbreakable oath; all comes to be.

What does it mean to actively wait? Pray. Turn to the Scriptures. Continue to do what God has called us to do.

We live in a world that longs for peace. God brings peace through Jesus. But how can we experience peace in this world and in our lives?

Who was Melchizedek? Melchizedek and Jesus. How does this impact me? 

What is grief? Grief is acute pain that accompanies loss. The Grave of Grief; your pain is real. You have permission to feel. Jesus is not afraid of your grief. Jesus compassionately enters your grief with you. Jesus can give you His perspective and His presence with you. Where are you? (Red Dot-Blue Dot)  

Jesus is the high Priest; He is powerful and merciful and is drawing us closer.

Pay attention; pass the torch; hope anew; bad examples; what breaks your heart? Reality vs. Ideal

Uniting with Christ in His death and resurrection; counting ourselves dead to sin and alive in Christ; offering ourselves not to sin but to God.

Unbelief has consequences: makes God angry, leads to sin and disturbs our rest. How do we live in God’s rest? Protect your heart, be an encourager and persevere.

There is a Sabbath-rest available to all ... but not all will receive it. 

Stay focused on Jesus; on Jesus only; on Jesus our hope.
