Passage: Hebrews 11:29-31 Speaker: Pastor Lukus Counterman Series: Faith Lives
Speaker: Lukus Counterman - In our text this morning we see another dimension of faith. Whether it's the Israelites trapped between the Red Sea and the Egyptian army, or a woman named Rahab huddled in a little house, we learn that faith delivers. When things appear to be utterly futile or when God calls for unusual methods, we need to be people who trust him. Psalm 20:7 says, \"Some trust in the chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.\" At the end of the day we need to ask ourselves what we are depending on for deliverance. Will money, science, ingenuity, diligence, invention, or strength come through for us? The writer of Hebrews says, \"No. Deliverance comes to those who place their faith in God.\" That was true 2000 years ago, and its true today. May the Lord help us to be people who live by faith.
