18 Hebrews 11:8-21 (By Faith - The Patriarchs)

* You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26Jan11.pdf * What does "The just shall live by faith" look like? * In Hebrews 11 we have the Biblical definition of faith: "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Faith is where what we consider abstract meets "reality." It is our faith which God uses to reprove people of heavenly practical matters (reality!) that are not visible to them. What we believe will be evidenced in what we do! * Last week we saw how faith in the existence of God and His promise to reward those who seek Him was evidenced in the lives of Abel, Enoch and Noah. * Also last week, in considering the testimony of Creation and the Flood, we looked at 2 Peter 3:3-6. In it further context, we see that Peter was warning of the judgment to come just as Noah was warning of the judgment to come. As Noah, we are called to live by faith as a testimony to those who are around us. * Today, we see the evidence that was portrayed in the lives of Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on January 11, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.
