Title: "Jesus: Our Better Object of Faith"

1. Why did Andy begin his message by talking about the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio? How does 10:34-35 hold the answer to why the “hall of faith” in chapter eleven was written?

2. Read 11:1. What stands out to you about how this verse defines faith? Why is Christian faith not blind faith? How is faith based on both clear logic and respectable testimony? How is the reference to creation in v. 3 a good example of both? Read vv. 8-19 and discuss the various ways in which Abraham’s trust in God clearly stood out in his life. How does his example help us fully invest ourselves in this life while always keeping eternity in view?

3. Read vv. 24-26 and talk about how Moses demonstrated his faith through what he supremely valued. How can imitating him help us in our battle against temptation and sin? How do vv. 29-40 clearly show us that faith in God isn’t about earthly results? What is it about?
