Faith like Abraham
- Hebrews 11:8-16
- Jon McDugle
This week in our Courageous Faith series, we’ll explore how Abraham and Sarah trusted God’s promises even when they couldn’t see the outcome. Their story calls us to live in light of God’s goodness, greatness, and calling—with eyes fixed on His future for us.
Discussion Questions:
- Abraham obeyed when God called him to go, even though he had no idea where he was headed. What does that show us about the kind of faith God calls us to? How does his story challenge our tendency to wait until everything makes sense before we take a step?
- It says Abraham was “looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.” What do you think that means? How does that shift the way we think about where our true home and security really are?
- The passage says they “died in faith, not having received the things promised.” What do we learn from that about waiting on God? How do we hold on to hope when we don’t yet see what He’s promised come to pass?
- Can you think back to a moment in your faith journey when you had to take a leap of faith—where you trusted God even though the outcome wasn’t clear? What did you learn about Him through that?
- What part of Jon’s message struck you this week—something that challenged, stretched, or encouraged you?
