Morning Pastor John,<\/span><\/p>\n

I have my coffee in my hand and my mind on Jesus!\u00a0\u00a0I have slowly soaked up the verses on faith,\u00a0and I am sad there are only 225\u00a0of them.\u00a0\u00a0I don’t want them to end.\u00a0\u00a0The last 25 made me sing,\u00a0“Amen!”<\/span><\/p>\n

And I am\u00a0loving\u00a0Hebrews 11!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Heb. 11:1 Now, faith is the certainty of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Heb. 11:3\u00a0By\u00a0faith, we understand that the worlds were created by an utterance from God, so that things that are seen were not made from visible things.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I love that! Things that were seen were not made from visible things but by an\u00a0utterance from God!<\/span><\/p>\n

Heb. 11:4\u00a0By\u00a0faith, Abel offered a better sacrifice to God than did Cain, by which he was borne witness that he was righteous, God bearing witness to his gifts, and by it, he, being dead, still spoke.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Heb. 11:5\u00a0By\u00a0faith, Enoch was translated so that he did not see death, and he was not found because God had translated him, for before his translation, he was borne witness that he pleased God.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Heb. 11:6\u00a0But without\u00a0faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He exists and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Heb. 11:7\u00a0By\u00a0faith, Noah, having been warned of things not yet seen, moved with fear, constructed an ark for the saving of his house, by which he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that is by\u00a0faith.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Heb. 11:8\u00a0By\u00a0faith, Abraham, when he was called, obediently went out toward the place which he would later receive as an inheritance, and he went out, not knowing where he was going.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Heb. 11:9\u00a0By\u00a0faith, he lived in the land of promise as a stranger in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, joint-heirs of the same promise,<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Heb. 11:11\u00a0By\u00a0faith\u00a0also, Sarah herself, though past the age, received strength to conceive seed and gave birth, for she considered Him faithful who made the promise.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Heb. 11:13\u00b6\u00a0These all died in\u00a0faith, not having received the promises; however, they saw them far away, and welcomed them, and confessed that they were foreigners and pilgrims on the earth.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Heb. 11:17\u00b6\u00a0By\u00a0faith, when Abraham was tried, he offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was offering up his uniquely begotten son<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Heb. 11:20\u00a0By\u00a0faith, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Heb. 11:21\u00a0By\u00a0faith, Jacob, as he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and he worshipped, leaning on the head of his staff.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Heb. 11:22\u00a0By\u00a0faith, Joseph, nearing the end, made mention of the exodus of the children of Israel and gave instructions concerning his bones.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Heb. 11:23\u00a0By\u00a0faith, Moses was hidden for three months by his parents after he was born because they saw he was a beautiful child, and they were not afraid of the king\u2019s decree.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Heb. 11:24\u00a0By\u00a0faith, Moses, when he was grown, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh\u2019s daughter,<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Heb. 11:27\u00a0By\u00a0faith, he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king, for he persevered as though he saw Him who cannot be seen.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Heb. 11:28\u00a0By\u00a0faith, he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest the one destroying the firstborn should touch them.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Heb. 11:29\u00a0By\u00a0faith, they passed through the Red Sea as if on dry land, which the Egyptians attempting to do were drowned.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Heb. 11:30\u00a0By\u00a0faith, the walls of Jericho fell down, after being encircled seven days.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Heb. 11:31\u00a0By\u00a0faith, Rahab the harlot did not perish with the disobedient after she had peaceably welcomed the spies.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Heb. 11:33\u00a0who through\u00a0faith\u00a0conquered kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises,\u00a0shut the mouths of lions,<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Heb. 11:39\u00a0And these all, given a good testimony because of their\u00a0faith, did not receive the promise,<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Heb. 12:2\u00a0fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and\u00a0perfecter of our\u00a0faith,\u00a0who for the joy set before him, endured a cross, despised the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Heb. 13:7\u00b6\u00a0Remember those who rule over you, who have spoken to you the word of God; imitate their\u00a0faith, considering the end result of their manner of life.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Reading all those verse, I could feel a surge of …I don’t know, just a surge!\u00a0\u00a0It feels wonderful, so I thought you would want to read them with me.<\/span><\/p>\n

Love,<\/span><\/p>\n

Beth!<\/span><\/p>\n
