Faith Defined
(Hebrews 11:1–3)

Hebrews chapter 11 defines and demonstrates true faith in God. In verses 1 through 3, we find faith’s meaning, reward, and understanding, showing what it means to trust God completely and to live by His promises.

By Faith, Cain and Abel
(Hebrews 11:4; Genesis 4:1–16)

Hebrews 11:4 says, “By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain.” Genesis 4 records the account. From these brothers we learn what acceptable worship is, how sin crouches at the door, and how faith still speaks.

By Faith, Noah
(Hebrews 11:7)

Faith has always been the dividing line between salvation and destruction. Hebrews 11:7 declares, “By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.” Today, we examine Noah’s obedient, reverent, and saving faith.

The Faith of the Patriarchs
(Hebrews 11:13–16)

Hebrews 11:13–16 shows the patriarchs living as strangers and pilgrims, seeing God’s promises afar off, embracing them, and seeking a better—heavenly—country. God was not ashamed to be called their God, for He prepared a city for them.

Abraham’s Sacrificial Faith

Hebrews 11:17–19 reveals faith at its highest cost: Abraham offering Isaac. In that test, Abraham trusted God to keep His promises, even to the point of raising the dead. This is sacrificial faith that obeys completely and rests in God’s power.

By Faith, Isaac
(Hebrews 11:20)

Hebrews 11:20 records Isaac blessing Jacob and Esau “concerning things to come.” This moment reveals how faith yields to God’s revealed will and speaks blessing in line with His promises.

By Faith, Jacob and Joseph
(Hebrews 11:21–22)

Our study from Hebrews 11 brings us today to two remarkable examples of enduring faith—Jacob and his son Joseph. Both trusted in God’s promises even as they faced death. Their faith was unwavering, forward-looking, and rooted in the conviction that God always fulfills His word.
