What is a hero?

Being a hero isn’t about being superior to everyone else, it’s about ordinary people doing extraordinary things and making a difference.

Hebrews 11:32-34 ‘How much more do I need to say? It would take too long to recount the stories of the faith of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and all the prophets. By faith these people overthrew kingdoms, ruled with justice, and received what God had promised them.

Hebrews 11:32-34 They shut the mouths of lions, quenched the flames of fire, and escaped death by the edge of the sword. Their weakness was turned to strength. They became strong in battle and put whole armies to flight.’ (New Living Translation)

Heroes Act on what they believe. Are all around us. Look for your chance to make a difference.
