Faith for the Win - Hebrews 11 - Pastor Rick Soto

Continuing in the book of Hebrews, Pastor Rick Soto opens what he calls the hall of faith in Hebrews 11 and walks through three lives: Noah, Abraham, and Sarah. He teaches that all of life revolves around faith, and that our faith is never in faith itself but in the person of Jesus Christ. Tracing David's confrontation with Goliath and his prayers in Psalm 18 and Psalm 62, he shows how God builds faith across our past, present, and future. From Noah comes the urgency of obeying God's warning and the promise of Genesis 7:16, that God himself shut the door. From Abraham, obedience without knowing where the road leads. From Sarah, trusting God's timing when the promise seems impossible. The message closes with what faith needs in order to grow, love, contentment, and simplicity, and an invitation to come out of hiding and let the Lord minister to the secret places of the heart. Scriptures: Hebrews 11:7-12; 1 Samuel 17:36-37, 45; Psalm 18:1-3; Psalm 62:8; Genesis 7:16; John 10:10 Pastoral invitation: Stop hiding. Closing ministry time asked people to come forward for prayer, framing the step out of the seat as itself the act of faith, the same step Noah, Abraham, and Sarah took.
