From Hebrews 11-1 we are called to perceive and lay hold of the great gift of faith. A gift from God that gives substance to the promises of God -our hopes- and makes us embrace them and persuades us of them. It is a gift that also helps us endure, as Moses, seeing Him who is invisible. It is a gift that lays hold of Jesus Christ and so is alive and vibrant. We are exhorted to cultivate such a lively faith, grow in grace, and praise God for such a great gift that not only saves but sustains us. Preached Sabbath AM on 12-20-20.--Outline--I. Faith gives substance.-II. Faith sees the unseen.-III. Faith becomes lively.
