ser081708.mp3 (Size: 7.64 MB)Hebrews 11:32-35a 32And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel and the prophets, 33who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, 34quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies. 35Women received back their dead, raised to life again.
PRINCIPLE ONE: To gain what is promised you have to act on the promise!
Hebrews 11:35b-38 Others were tortured and refused to be released, so that they might gain a better resurrection. 36Some faced jeers and flogging, while still others were chained and put in prison. 37They were stoned; they were sawed in two; they were put to death by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated— 38the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground.
PRINCIPLE TWO: Faith that lasts is faith in God, not faith in my faith!
PRINCIPLE THREE: God is better than anything life can give and God is better than anything death can take away
