This week, we continue to walk through Hebrews 11:4–40, where we see the incredible faith of those who came before us.

Their faith helped them stand strong and keep going through difficult seasons.

This week, we take a look at Hebrews 11:1–3 and 6, where we see what true faith really looks like. Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
