We Could Be Heroes Pt. 1 - Noah & the Flood

By faith ________ (Anyone’s name can be added to the fill-in-the-blank.) Every hero of the faith whose story is told in Hebrews chapter 11 is an example of what faith looks like. The Hebrews Heroes of the faith didn’t always have perfect faith or live perfect lives. They stumbled, they doubted, and they believed. We are much like them. By faith, Noah built the ark despite not knowing exactly what he was doing and why he was being singled out to do it. Use the story of Noah to share how it was by faith Noah accomplished what God wanted to do through him. Hebrews 11:7 TLB7 Noah was another who trusted God. When he heard God’s warning about the future, Noah believed him even though there was then no sign of a flood, and wasting no time, he built the ark and saved his family. Noah’s belief in God was in direct contrast to the sin and disbelief of the rest of the world—which refused to obey—and because of his faith he became one of those whom God has accepted. Hebrews 11:1-2 TLB 11 What is faith? It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead. 2 Men of God in days of old were famous for their faith. By faith, we move even when it seems like God isn’t.
