Abraham left everything without knowing his destination. Sarah laughed at a promise she thought was impossible. In this message from Hebrews 11:8-12, Pastor Ryan Skolrud walks through six marks of faith found in the lives of Abraham and Sarah — faith that takes action, faith that holds possessions loosely, faith that looks past this world, faith that believes against the body's own verdict, faith that moves from doubt to trust, and faith that believes promises too big to be self-generated. This expository message is part of the ongoing Hebrews series, The Supremacy of Christ, from Living Word Community Church, a Bible-teaching church serving Carnation, Duvall, and the Snoqualmie Valley.
Next Steps:
- Ask where God may be calling you away from comfort, and trust His leading even without knowing the outcome
- Examine what you're holding onto as "yours" and recognize it as God's, entrusted to you for a season
- Identify where you're anchoring your hope in this world rather than in Christ's eternal promise
- Bring your "only God can do it" situation to the Lord in prayer, and name the person you're praying will come to faith
- If you don't yet have hope in Christ, call out to Him today, repent, and submit your life to Him
