BIBLE BASICS: Building Blocks of Belief

Part 9: FAITH: The Substance of Things Hoped For... (Session 2)

In this second session of our two-part segment on "faith," we'll tackle Hebrews 11:1 as well as the chapter at large. While some contend that verse 1 gives us a "definition" of faith, I submit that Scripture's intent is NOT to give us a definition but, rather, a description or demonstration of the behavior of faith. Hebrews 11 has often been called the "heroes of faith" chapter. But this is unfortunate, because it makes us portray them as "super heroes" and untouchable to us regular Christians! Let's scrutinize Hebrews 11 a little closer and see what it's actually trying to teach us! I'll report; you decide!   :))
