“Laughing Sarah” • Hebrews 11:11-12 – Elder Bryce Lowrance

The next example of faith in the Apostle’s list is Sarah. We are shown by this testimony in the New Testament that Sarah did in fact trust God that He would give her a child but the historical account in Genesis shows that her act of faith was also mixed with doubt. This is important to understand because this is the common experience for all children of God. Our faith is not the foundation of our eternal justification but it is the source of our assurance of salvation. When we walk by faith, we have a greater hope. 

Part 2 begins with the account of the angelic visit in Genesis 18.

“Abraham” • Hebrews 11:8-10 – Elder Bryce Lowrance

Abraham was given very little information when God called him to leave his homeland and go to a land that would be shown to him later. He, his son’s family, and his grandson’s family sojourned in that promised land in tents, only owning a small area to bury their dead. Abraham did not presume to lord over God’s promise. He understood that the physical land promised to him and his posterity pointed toward a greater inheritance. So Abraham sought for a heavenly home and is the perfect example for us to walk by faith.Abraham is the perfect example for us. We are to lose more and more sight of this earth so that we can keep our heavenly home in view.

Part 2 begins with a companion text from 2nd Corinthians, Chapter 5.

“Noah” • Hebrews 11:7 – Elder Bryce Lowrance

 

Continuing to look at the Old Testament saints who walked by faith in fellowship with God, Elder Bryce considers Noah. As our Savior told us, the latter days before His return will be a lot like the days of Noah. We have been given a promise of the Lord’s return even though the world doesn’t believe it and visible evidence shows no signs of His coming. So, just as Noah walked with God by faith trusting solely in His word, we should do the same.

“Enoch Walked with God” • Hebrews 11:5-6 – Elder Bryce Lowrance

In this New Year’s message, Elder Lowrance continues looking at the Old Testament saints who walked by faith and found peace with God. Enoch understood that God had promised an eternal walk with Him so Enoch chose to walk with God while He was here on earth. Each of God’s children has that same promise of adoption, and the same opportunity to live in fellowship with our Father here and now.

“Righteous Abel” • Hebrews 11:4 – Elder Bryce Lowrance

The Apostle’s first example from the history of the people of God who walked by faith is Abel. In this lesson we see that Abel was righteous because he was part of the everlasting covenant. When Abel walked by faith, he had a testimony to his own conscience that he was part of this covenant. When we walk by faith, we experience the same assurance, hope, and peace as Abel. 

Part 2 begins with the explanation of Abel’s offering was more excellent.
