In Hebrews 11, the Bible states plainly that faith requires understanding that the visible world is controlled by the invisible--Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.--With that in mind, what does walking by faith look like----In this episode we want to talk about what faith in an invisible, sovereign God looks like. How does faith in the invisible God cause our day to be structured-- How do we think about things like sickness and trials, current events and global politics, and the role of the church in the world-- When Christians do not believe in the invisible, we become like pagans who fear the world instead of fearing God and turn to worshipping the creature rather than the creator. Christians on the other hand, realize that there are unseen forces in the world, but that they are all controlled by the hand of the sovereign God. Because of this, we are able to fear no one but God, and to serve him directly. This is what it means to walk by faith.

Hebrews 11-32-34 with a focus on Samson. Samson is a complicated Old Testament man of faith. We know that he believed. He understood from his parents that he was to be a Nazirite. We don't know that he obeyed the other restrictiions, but he at least did not cut his hair. He had a level of faith, but he also went into harlots. He also killed people for their clothes. He didn't follow the other ceremonial law as he ate unclean things. We do know that God used him to subdue kingdoms and Hebrews 11 holds him up as an example of faith in action. As we think about Samson, we should praise God that He sent His Holy Spirit, so that believers are now constrained by that Spirit, so we do not follow in the sins of Samson, but we should follow in his righteous works.

Suicide has historically been a crime. This is true for many reasons, but one prevalent one is that it is difficult. If not impossible, to argue from the natural world that men own themselves. Everything about the world testifies to man's dependence, his inability to create himself, provide for himself, or to exist without dependence upon others. We are born from our parents, totally dependent in so many ways and we end our lives in a similar state. From a scriptural perspective this is even more true as God says clearly that the world and all that is in it belongs to him. We are created for his good pleasure and have no claim to life or freedom apart from him. -In this episode, we want to start with the topic of suicide and move from there to discuss the fact that God owns our lives and that all men, whether they acknowledge God or not, know that they do not own themselves. We also discuss the difference between suicide and sacrifice and walk through some of the suicides and deaths in scripture and discuss how and why each of the different men died and whether they murdered themselves -ultimately out of pride- or sacrificed themselves for worthy reasons.--Suicide is serious and God treats it as self-murder. We should also treat it seriously and describe it as God sees it.

Hebrews 11-32-34 with a focus on Barak. As Gideon, Barak also had faith that conquered a kingdom. Mostly when people talk about the passage with Deborah and Barak, people want to use it to argue for Deborah being the leader, but she was not. Barak insisted that she go along and he did correctly treat her as a prophetess, but he was the one that the book of Hebrews uses as an example of the one with faith. He was the one who led the battle against the king of Canaan and defeated him. He was the one who was valiant in battle. He was the one who was weak and was made strong. He was the one who put to flight the armies of the aliens. He was the one that the writer of Hebrews says teaches us about what faith looks like. Deborah was a just and good judge. Deborah was a true prophetess, but she did not further the argument that true faith produces real changes in the world.

Most people don't know the history of dispensationalism. While many are familiar with the name John Nelson Darby and many more are familiar with C. I. Scofield -or at least with the Scofield Bible-, very few know much about their lives, their actions,and their involvement with the creation of the doctrine. But it is a story worth knowing. And while a biblical view's origin isn't the most important thing to know about it, it should never be dismissed out of hand and should be considered. --Dispensationalism has, in many ways, always been driven by the headlines, as it arose in the wake of the French Revolution, and developed in the emotional and even mystical response to the impact the fall of the French monarchy had upon the world. So, in this episode, we want to look at the origins and history of dispensationalism, how it started, what was going on in the world, and what were the claims made by those who had a hand in founding it.

Hebrews 11-32-34 with a focus on Gideon. The writer of Hebrews now goes through six other people that are an example of faith, but that he doesn't want to take the time to consider each. We are going to consider each one individually as we continue to study the testimony of faith of the elders. Gideon through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, out orf weakness was made strong, became valiant in battle and turned to flight the armies of aliens. Things to note about the faith of Gideon- given as a response to people crying out, reluctant to be called, tested God and obeyed to the point where his means of victory were very clearly caused by God.
