A Sermon Series From Hebrews 11 – This sermon series works through the eleventh chapter of Hebrews which defines faith as “the assurance of things hoped for (and) the conviction of thing not seen.” The series covers the thirteen major “by faith” examples and looks at the significance of the chapter in the book of Hebrews as a whole and the city to come it announces. Themes include the role of Christian history and heritage, examples of faith in the gospel instead of examples of morality and how Jesus is the fulfillment of all that faith looks to.
