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”!
Believe the Gospel!
