did not say it is hopeless

"Faith Means Trusting God for the Impossible" {Heb11:29-31}
* FAITH: Fearless as I trust Him
* All face impossible situations during their lives: career, health issue, family issue, sin issue
* No promise from God to keep you from impossible situations; only promise to deliver you safely through them
* By faith, I can escape dead ends (v29)
- Crisis: Red Sea crossing
- Faith expressed: Obedience
- Exodus Revealed
* By faith, I can overcome obstacles (v30)
- Crisis: Walls of Jericho
- Faith expressed: Obedience
* By faith, I can behave differently (v31)
- Crisis: Rahab story
- Faith expressed: risky obedience
- From disgraced life to lineage of Christ -- Grace
* Application
- Trust God's purpose
- Obey God's instructions
- Believe in God's ability
