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!   :))

The mission of A Word From the Word radio program, with your host Pastor Tom, is to unpack the richness and the beauty of the Bible's original languages as they bear on key words and concepts from both Old and New Testaments.

With a natural, engaging and down to earth style, Pastor Tom shares from his heart and desires that our relationship with God will be strengthened and deepened, and that both our understanding and application of God's Word will be enriched, and that we'll be drawn to love it and be transformed by it more and more each day.
