Episode Synopsis

Title: The Assurance of Things Hoped ForSpeaker: Rob BerrethScripture: Hebrews 11:4–7Episode Overview:In this message from Hebrews 11:4–7, we are reminded that the only way to please God is by faith. Abel, Enoch, and Noah each reveal how genuine belief shapes our lives: offering our first and best to God, walking with Him as our greatest reward, and obeying His Word even when it seems unreasonable. Before any doing comes believing—the foundation of our confidence is in Christ’s finished work. And yet, by faith, we can live in ways that bring joy to the heart of our Father.Key Highlights:• Faith before works: Why Hebrews insists that believing precedes doing.• Abel’s offering: Giving God our first and best because He is worthy.• Enoch’s walk: Communion with God as the greatest reward.• Noah’s obedience: Trusting God’s Word even when it defies human reasoning.• Life application: How faith changes our posture toward God’s promises and commands.Call to Action:Ask yourself today: Am I living more like Abel or Cain? Am I treating God as first and best, walking daily with Him, and submitting to His Word? Take a step of faith this week—whether through generosity, intentional time with God, or obedience to His Word—and delight in knowing that by faith, your Father in heaven is pleased.Redeemer Church211 Northshore Dr. Bellingham, WA 98226www.redeemernw.org
