The Old Testament believers serve as examples for us today. Their successes and failures show us what pleases and displeases God. The writer of Hebrews understood the value of these examples. In Hebrews 11, he defines faith by showing how real people (e.g., Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham) proved their loyalty to the Lord. In this study, we traverse the faith-landscape of Hebrews 11 to learn from the faithful men and women of old, each lesson emphasizing a particular aspect of their faith. While anything less than authentic trust in God will disappoint and destroy us, the "faith of our fathers" allows us to face life this side of eternity with confidence. Do you long for this kind of faith? If so, then it is fitting that you spend time with your "fathers" and
"mothers" in the faith, namely the believers in Hebrews 11.
