by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on December 17, 2023) As we continue in the Hall of Faith of Hebrews, we come to one of the greatest of the Old Testament Patriarchs: a man named Moses. Last time, we saw the faith of Moses’ parents; today, we begin examining Moses’ own faith. We see in…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on December 10, 2023) As we continue looking at the characters in the Hall of Faith, we come today to the parents of Moses. Moses certainly was a great hero of faith, but what about his parents? In today’s sermon, we look not at the faith of Moses, but…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on November 5, 2023) In the first half of this sermon, we were beginning to look at the faith of Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph as they approached the end of their lives. Each man’s faith was different: Isaac’s faith was a complicated faith, Jacob’s faith was a conflicted faith,…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on November 5, 2023) The most extreme version of faith is the faith that we exhibit in dying. In today’s message, we begin looking at the faith of Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph as they approached the end of their lives. Each man’s faith was different: Isaac’s was a complicated…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on October 22, 2023) In today’s sermon, we see a faith that obeys in the midst of questioning. When God told Abraham to sacrifice his only son Isaac, there were surely questions in the minds of both Abraham and Isaac. But even in the midst of those questions, Abraham…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on October 18, 2023) In the last sermon, we saw in Abraham a faith that obeys without questioning, which is the kind of faith we all ought to possess. But is that really where we always start out? Is it not more common that we question God initially, even…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on October 8, 2023) As we began to see yesterday, throughout most of his life – with very few exceptions – Abraham exercised faith in God without questioning. Whenever God said “go,” he went; whenever God said “move”, he moved! He was always a stranger and sojourner in a…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on October 8, 2023) As we move on into the 11th Chapter of Hebrews, we come to a man named Abraham. Abraham is often called the “Father of the Faithful,” and it is because throughout most of his life he obeyed God without questioning. In today’s sermon, we begin…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on October 1, 2023) As we began to see yesterday, Abel, Enoch, and Noah are the first characters set before us in the great “Hall of Faith” of Hebrews 11. We saw that Abel approached God by faith; today, we will see that Enoch pleased God by faith and…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on October 1, 2023) We are beginning today to look at the Old Testament characters listed In Hebrews Chapter 11, the great “Hall of Faith” of Scripture. None of these men and women were perfect, but all ultimately exhibited the faith that is the fruit of the Spirit. The…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on September 24, 2023) As we continue in the “Hall of Faith,” we find that the very first item that we must believe by faith is that the universe was created by God. While the world itself bears independent witness to its creation, it is by faith that we…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on September 24, 2023) The very first item of faith that is mentioned in the great “Hall of Faith” in Chapter 11 is the Creation. Ultimately, if we cannot accept that the Creation account of Genesis is true by faith, then we will struggle with every other concept in…
