5. Greatest Chapters in the Bible (Hebrews 11) FAITH DESCRIBED Scripture text: Heb. 11:1-3.

8. Greatest Chapters in the Bible (Hebrews 11) The lessons of this chapter are many, but perhaps it would be helpful to mention two: 1.God works through our faith. Exercising faith is the only way to please Him and receive His blessings. 2.Our faith is always tested; at times it seems that trusting God is foolish, but faith always conquers in the end. Without faith (trusting obedience) it is impossible to please God. Who is ready to respond to Jesus?
