Faith That Does Not Shrink Back

Hebrews 11:1-7 | An Anchor for the Soul | Trent Hunter The central message of the book of Hebrews could be summarized in two words: hold fast! Our author does much more than merely tell us to "hold fast," as we have learned. He reasons with us from the Old Testament story that Jesus is a high priest who is able to save us, who ever lives for us even now. But now, in chapter 11, our author inspires us with the stories of Old Testament figures who held fast in their day. In this sermon we meet the first three men: Abel, Enoch, and Noah.
