Hebrews 11:30-40 - Faith Through Persecution

About this episode

The episode explores the faith of Old Testament figures and encourages Christians to act on their faith amidst persecution.

This is the final portion of Hebrews eleven, exploring the faith of several individuals from the Old Testament, including Rahab, Samson, Gideon, and David. These stories serve as a testament to the power of faith in the face of adversity, and the speaker highlights  Faith led to the walls of Jericho tumbling down. Faith led to surviving through fire and escaping death by sword. Faith led to shutting lion's mouths and conquering nations. Faith is not just about believing but acting on that belief, even in the face of danger or persecution. Since we understand the mystery of the Messiah, Christians today have even more reason to act in faith than the people of the Old Testament Jenn encourages listeners to take action and live out their faith and not stay silent when it comes to sharing the Gospel with others.
