courageous faith (hebrews 11:8-12)
This message was preached by Pastor Jesse Boyd on June 16, 2024 to New Testament Christian Fellowship in Conover, North Carolina from a location in Miles City, Montana. It exegetically addresses 11:8-12 in the larger exposition of the Book of Hebrews by the shared teaching of the NTCF Elders and its missionaries.
The attestation of genuine faith in the “they that believe to the saving of the soul” vs. “them who draw back unto perdition” in Hebrews 10:39 has a testamentary epitaph bequeathed to us, the Church (11:4-40). And that testament goes way back. It is seen in the COURAGEOUS FAITH of both Abraham and Sarah, a faith that is both OBEDIENT and FRUITFUL.
These faithful testimonies ought to be EMULATED and RE-LIVED in these dark and troublesome times. Fear over faith may be very contagious, but so is courage in faith.
