Episode Description:

As we journey through Hebrews 11, we're moving through a lineage of faith stretching from the beginning of the Scriptures. Our first few lessons highlighted the foundation of faith: that it involves a forward-looking trust in God's unseen promises. We started with Abel, whose sacrificial faith still speaks. Then Enoch walked with God, showing that faith is a relationship, not a mere act. Noah then followed, building an ark based on God's warning of things not yet seen, and he showed that faith obeys God's words. Abraham and Sarah taught us about faith, which looks to promises beyond our lifetime and holds onto God's covenant in the face of impossibility.

Now, we reach Moses, a towering figure in the Old and New Testaments, known for his faith and for leading an entire nation through a series of miraculous yet trying events. This week's lesson will focus on Hebrews 11:23-29, where the writer of Hebrews highlights key moments from Moses' life. We will explore what it meant for Moses to live out his faith in God's promises and how his choices continue to impact the story of faith today.
