Faith that Risks Reproach and Mistreatment

Hebrews 11:23-31 | An Anchor for the Soul | Matt Jackson Courageous action involves a calculation that the potential negative cost is worth the reward. In Hebrews 11:23–31, we will consider seven examples of faith from the life of Moses and those connected to him, observing how faith infused these men and women with courage. They made the calculation and were willing to suffer reproach and mistreatment, because their hope was fixed on the invisible God and His promised reward. And this type of courageous faith is not just reserved for those of faith from our Old Testament—it is the mark of all who identify with Christ and consider reproach and mistreatment for His name as greater wealth than any treasure found in this world.
