Hebrews 11:27-40 - "Heroes of Faith"

What is faith? No better answer is given in perhaps all the Bible than in the great eleventh chapter of the book of Hebrews. Here a tapestry is unfolded, depicting great examples of faith from the record of Old Testament heroes.In this chapter there are numerous biblical figures who demonstrated great faith. These "heroes" are highlighted for their unwavering faith in God and their obedience, even in the face of immense challenges, suffering, and persecution. The passage uses their stories to encourage readers to also trust God and endure through their own trialsFaith is the key virtue by which God has made His kingdom great. Hebrews 11 is often called the "Hall of Heroes." But the true hero of this chapter is God who gives faith to His own, by which the smallest of men and women have done great things in His strength.
