In this powerful sermon on Hebrews 11:1–40, Associate Pastor Benjamin Kandt walks us through the “Hall of Faith,” highlighting how the entire chapter points to a life marked by trust in the unseen promises of God. From Abel to Abraham, Moses to Rahab, the author of Hebrews paints a picture of faith that is forward-looking, resilient, and rooted in God’s character — not in immediate outcomes. Pastor Benjamin unpacks the nature of biblical faith: a confidence in what we hope for and a conviction of things not seen.
He reminds the church that faith isn't reserved for the extraordinary, but is the daily posture of those who take God at His word. Even those who suffered and never received the promises in their lifetime are held up as heroes because they lived with eyes fixed on a better country — a heavenly one. This sermon challenges and encourages us to live faithfully in the present as we await the fullness of what God has promised in Christ.
