Jesus Tells a Better Story, Part 1

Some call Hebrews 11 the Faith Hall of Fame, but the truth and point of this section of Hebrews is that there is only one True Hero. The Bible tells one grand story about this great Hero. Yet, in His grace, this God has included people in the story. Every person we will meet in Hebrews 11 has unbelievable flaws and failures, yet, they trusted the character of God and held on to the promises He made. Therefore, by their faith, each one experienced the grace, presence, and blessings of God. These people are included in the grand story by faith, and as a result God tells a better story through their lives than the one they would have told on their own. We will take a journey through the lives of those who are listed in this chapter, telling their stories as reminders of God's redemption narrative and the work He does in and through the lives of those who believe. The first three characters we will examine are Abel, Enoch, and Noah.
