Faith without fear means trusting God more than our circumstances, our comfort, or the threats of those who oppose His purposes. In this sermon from Hebrews 11:23-29, Pastor Ryan Skolrud walks through the extraordinary faith of Moses and his parents — from defying Pharaoh's deadly decree, to walking away from Egyptian royalty, to stepping between walls of water at the Red Sea. If you've ever felt afraid to take the next step of faith, this message will show you how looking to the invisible God changes everything.
Key Points from This Sermon:
- Moses's parents defied Pharaoh's decree to kill Hebrew boys, trusting God with the consequences
- Moses chose to identify with God's suffering people over the wealth and privilege of Egypt
- "God's fast is better than Egypt's feast" — sin never truly satisfies
- Moses persevered because he "saw him who is invisible" — a living encounter with God changes how we face fear
- Faith obeys God's specific instructions before we can see how the outcome will unfold
- The Passover lamb points directly to Jesus, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world
- Crossing the Red Sea required stepping into the impossible — trusting God to make a way when there was no visible way
- True saving faith is not merely believing God exists, but trusting Him for our redemption
