August 27, 2017 Sermon Lesson 42 Hebrews 11:32-35a
Triumphs of the Faithful
Main Idea: Our forebears in the faith model saving faith for us!
• Through their triumphs (32-35a) • Through their sufferings (35a-38) • Through their future perfection with us (39-40)
Part I: Through their triumphs (32-35a) Conquered kingdoms Enforced justice Obtained promises Stopped the mouths of lions Quenched the power of fire Escaped the edge of the sword Were made strong out of weakness Became mighty in war Put foreign armies to flight Women received their dead by resurrection
Applications
Move forward in new “faith ventures”—trust God for achieving success!
Don’t simply rely upon “numbers” for decisions (the Gideon 1% odds!)
Live for the long term—character over competence (David vs. Saul).
Keep the Triune God as the object of your faith—this is not “faith in faith”!
