This sermon focuses on Hebrews 11:8-19, highlighting the life of Abraham as an example of living by faith. It emphasizes four key lessons: faith follows God, faith focuses on His promises, faith trusts in God's faithfulness, and faith is forged through trials. Abraham obeyed God's call without knowing the destination, lived as a foreigner in the promised land, and endured hardships with his hope fixed on God's eternal promises. The sermon encourages believers to maintain unwavering faith amid trials, just as Abraham did, and to set their focus on the heavenly city prepared by God. The message reinforces the theme that faith is about obedience, trust, and endurance, even when the fulfillment of God's promises is not yet seen. |
