Scripture: Hebrews 11:32-35a
Title: Faith Rewarded in This Life

And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel and the prophets, who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies. Women received back their dead, raised to life again.

5. Some principles

B. God rewards our faith even in times of national decline
C. God rewards the faith of people whose faith has faltered

Benediction: May God give you grace to persevere in faith, so when you've done the will of God you'll receive what He has promised.
