What do you do when it seems like faith has failed you? How do you handle disappointment, difficulty, and doubt that inevitably comes when things do not turn out how you thought they would?

In this week’s sermon, we examine the life and faith of Abraham (Hebrews 11). Although he encountered uncertainty, setbacks, doubt, and fear, Abraham stayed the course and ultimately trusted God with the outcome. Similarly, our faith should guide us to obedience, no matter the result. Even when the end is unclear and we cannot see the finish line, we are called to run the race set before us with perseverance, living by faith and entrusting God with the outcome.
