Hebrews 11:8-16

Jesus is Greater

Jesus is

greater than anyone or anything

John 3:30

John 3:30

He must become greater and greater, I must become less and less

God will stretch your faith to grow your faith

Big Idea:

Fear and Faith will fight to take control

Sticky Faith

Risky Business

Stretchy faith trusts God when I'm uncertain--vs.8

Faith steps out into the unknown because we trust the God who is in control of every step we take and knows every step we take before we take it

The Kingdom is Risky Business!

  • Risking for the kingdom is never an uncalculated risk…it’s never a risk just for the sake of taking risks…

  • If you think about it, its not really a risk at all…because God’s got us!

Waiting is the Hardest Part

Stretchy Faith Waits on God--vs.9, 13

Waiting on God might mean you never get to see the Promise come to completion…in your lifetime

Stretchy faith waits on God even when we don't see the outcome we want

Strangers

  • Resident Alien=outsiders, had to pay an outsider tax--vs.9
  • Stranger/foreigner=regarded with hatred and suspicion--vs.13
  • A person staying temporarily=humiliating--vs.13

Waiting on God doesn't look to the past but to the future

  • God erases our past mistakes and failures and sin at the cross…

1 Peter 2:11 Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul

I am an alien, I am a stranger, my real home is a heavenly one

Impossible God

Stretchy Faith believes in the God of the impossible--vs.11-12

Matthew 19:26--With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible!

Faith says that if God says its going to happen, he’s going to provide the strength, the ability the perseverance to make it happen…even if that seems impossible to me!

What is God asking me to do that seems impossible to me?

Remember we serve the God of the impossible!

Let's not be content with wee faith, but let's consider him faithful who made the Promise!
