But Others

Series: Hebrews
The Hall of Faith in Hebrews 11 is full of remarkable stories about people whom God used because of their great trust in Him. They were rewarded and favored by God for their faith. But there were others who, though they had great faith, did not have the same blessed fate. Their stories are told in the last part of Hebrews 11 and they remind us that even though we have faith, we might not receive relief and reward.

Holy Moses!

We often use the term of exclamation, "Holy Moses!" Well, actually he was a very holy man of great faith, and he is described as such in Hebrews 11:23-29. This message points out 6 features of his life that we should try to emulate in our lives. God can do equally amazing things with our lives if we would simply have more faith like Moses had.
Graveyard Faith
by Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh (06/06/10)
Series: Hebrews
We often think of having more faith in regards to living, but seldom do we think of it pertaining to death. These three verses in the Hall of Faith chapter focus on the faith that Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph had in their last days. Though the Bible could have focused on any number of faith moments in their lives, why would their time of death be so important? Do you have graveyard faith?
