284: Faith Tested

Join us as we consider the story of Abraham's faith from Hebrews 11. Discover how Abraham's faith was put to the ultimate test. In this, we track the theme of testing found throughout the Scriptures. Testing is not a one-time event but a daily opportunity to demonstrate our trust and confidence in God's word, something we all face.    Episode Links: simplyrevised.org: https://bit.ly/3K8EINi Contact Us: https://bit.ly/3V9yKlD Support SimplyRevised: https://bit.ly/48xIvOM Receive our newsletter: https://bit.ly/48S3E5L Follow us on Facebook: https://bit.ly/3O4a8qn Join us on Instagram: https://bit.ly/47yQv0t Music Provided by Eric Gwin: https://bit.ly/45uDiGO BibleProject: The Test: https://bibleproject.com/explore/video/the-test/ The Statler Brothers-Old Testament: https://music.apple.com/us/album/holy-bible-old-testament/1423415512   Chapters: (00:00) Welcome to SimplyRevised (01:13) Brenda's Day and Facebook (oh-my!)
