Faith That Moves Forward

This sermon explores the nature of biblical faith through the examples found in Hebrews 11, particularly focusing on Moses, the Israelites, and Rahab. Faith is defined not as the absence of fear or doubt, but as trust in God's character when outcomes are uncertain. The message emphasizes that faith requires action before clarity, often calling believers to step forward in obedience even when circumstances feel impossible. Through the stories of Moses leaving Egypt, Israel crossing the Red Sea, and Rahab's redemption, the sermon illustrates how God uses ordinary acts of faith to accomplish extraordinary purposes. The central theological point is that faith is not about human worthiness or capability, but about trusting in God's faithfulness. All of these Old Testament examples ultimately point forward to Jesus Christ, who is the foundation and fulfillment of faith. The sermon challenges believers to examine what they are holding back from God and to trust Him fully, not just in good times but especially in difficult circumstances.
