Ep 52 - Hebrews 11:1-3

With today's episode, we move into chapter 11, the great hall of faith. We'll be concentrating our attention on verses 1-3 in a lesson I've entitled, "Faith Described and Demonstrated." In verse 1, we have what is less a definition of faith than a description. And the author will spend the rest of the chapter demonstrating what true faith looks like in real life. Faith is based on hope. And our hope is based on those things we have been promised by God, but have not yet fully received. Faith is less a commodity than it is a way of life, a means by which we understand the world around us and all that happens to us as we wait for what has in store for us.
