Message: “Strangers And Exiles On The Earth” from Zach Schlegel

Hebrews 11:8-22

Of the noble woman, Proverbs 31:25 tells us “Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come.” When you think about the future are you able to laugh with confidence? Or do you tremble in fear of what might happen? Though the noble woman is described as incredibly wise, strong, industrious, and planned out…the ultimate reason for her confidence is not her preparedness, but her faith: she is a woman who ‘fears the LORD’ (Prov. 31:30). In Hebrew 11’s hall of faith, Abraham’s example shows us that We can face the future with confidence by trusting God for a better reward. Though often times and in many ways, he was in the dark, he never lost sight of the God he trusted – his good Shepherd who led him all the way home. Thankfully, his good Shepherd, hasn’t changed - he is our good Shepherd.

I. Trusting God when we don’t know where we’re going (11:8-10)

II. Trusting God when we don’t know how God’s plan will work (11:11-12)

III. Trusting God when we don’t know when God will act (11:13-16)

IV. Trusting God when we don’t know why things happen as they do (11:17-22)
