BY FAITH, THE PEOPLE

Passage: Hebrews 11:29~31  

Key verse: 29


1. By faith, they crossed the Red Sea (29)

The Israelites' way out of Egypt was blocked by the Red Sea. When the Egyptians attacked, there was no way of escape. Moses depended on God, and when God told him to march through the sea, he obeyed. The waves parted and they crossed the Red Sea as on dry land. But when the Egyptian army tried to follow them, the walls of water collapsed and they were drowned. The people of Israel did by faith what could not be done by human ability.

2. By faith, Rahab (30-31)

God promised to give Canaan to his people. But they had to enter and conquer the land by faith. Jericho was their first challenge. When they accepted God as their Commander-in-Chief and obeyed him, the walls of Jericho fell. But faith to conquer Jericho was planted in them by Rahab, a Canaanite prostitute who believed in the Creator God and risked her life (Jos 2-6).


Prayer: Lord, help me to cross my Red Sea by faith and help me to live by obedient faith.

One Word: Challenge the impossible
