It’s important that we continue to recall the background to this letter. The readers were being tempted to go back to Judaism to avoid persecution. And in chapter 10, the writer proved the superiority of Christ’s sacrifice over the old sacrificial system that couldn’t even take away sins. Christ died once and perfected for all time those who are being sanctified. One of the things that the readers were struggling with was not being able to physically experience the new spiritual realities Christ had purchased for them by his precious blood. So the temptation to go back to the old system was always lurking around. The writer ended chapter 10 by calling his readers to live by faith as a way of to resist that temptation. Andin verses 1 to 3, he is going to explain what the faith he is mentioning looks like.

hello guys uh welcome back uh to our
0:03
study of the book of hebrews and today
0:05
is sunday
0:07
january the 9th so last week we
0:10
concluded chapter
0:11
10
0:13
and the title of the uh the presentation
0:15
was christ or judgment and i had a
0:18
couple of questions of people who were a
0:19
little bit puzzled about some of the
0:21
things that i said
0:23
now when uh
0:25
and actually one of the guys told me uh
0:27
context is everything and i don't
0:29
actually think that he watched the
0:31
entire uh presentation i think he saw
0:34
the title and just made a quick uh
0:37
comment based on what he read so i don't
0:39
think he actually watched the entire
0:40
video because the things that he was
0:42
claiming i actually say the same thing
0:44
in there in the video so i was kind of
0:46
like taken back and i'm like
0:48
uh what exactly is your question because
0:50
everything that you said
0:52
actually talked about
0:54
so basically when i talked about when i
0:56
talked about christ or judgment we need
0:58
to remember the background to this
0:59
letter now the writer was addressing uh
1:02
folks of jewish background and a lot of
1:05
them were being persecuted
1:07
and one of the things was they wanted to
1:09
go back to the old system and we we say
1:12
that
1:13
throughout the entire chapter uh the
1:15
book of hebrews he's been talking about
1:18
christ being uh the inaugurator of a new
1:21
covenant he talked about in chapter two
1:23
about not neglecting such a great
1:25
salvation so he's been telling his
1:27
readers the entire time don't shrink
1:30
back to the old ways
1:32
so he's issuing a warning which as
1:35
believers we need to do you know and i
1:38
believe that the people that he was
1:39
talking to he most of them were probably
1:42
genuinely saved but i also believe that
1:44
in the midst of those people there were
1:45
still people there that may have made a
1:47
profession of faith but then under
1:49
pressure they were folding back and they
1:51
were shrinking back so he issues a
1:53
warning if he told them listen i've been
1:55
telling you since the beginning
1:57
that
1:58
christ is the inaugurator of the new
2:01
covenant the old one is done with so if
2:04
you insist on going back to the old one
2:06
you are basically saying to god i don't
2:09
care about jesus any sacrifice i just
2:11
want to do what i want to do and in that
2:13
way you are basically saying to god that
2:16
you are trampling the son of god under
2:18
foot and you also say that you are
2:20
insulting the spirit of grace because
2:22
it's the holy spirit that applies the
2:24
grace of god into our lives
2:27
and that was a serious warning and he
2:28
said those that disobeyed the law of
2:31
moses died on the account of two or more
2:34
witnesses and what do you think will
2:36
happen for the one who has trampled
2:38
underfoot the son of god
2:40
so he gave that warning but then he goes
2:42
back and said to the people that he was
2:44
addressing me saying i know that i know
2:46
that when it comes to you i've seen what
2:48
you've done in the beginning how you
2:50
actually went in and then supported
2:52
those who have been persecuted and you
2:54
yourselves were persecuted and under
2:56
persecution you resisted because the
2:58
spirit of god was in you and he said to
3:00
them that the only way they would be
3:03
able to withstand the wits of the enemy
3:05
and the persecution is by faith and
3:08
that's how he ended uh chapter 10.
3:11
actually i want to read a couple of
3:12
these verses real quick before we
3:15
now we continue on here i want to i want
3:16
to read uh chapter
3:19
10 some of the end verses listen to what
3:21
he says here before i go on to chapter
3:23
11
3:24
well recall the former days again he's
3:26
trying not to exalt them he's like when
3:29
after you were enlightened you endured a
3:31
hard struggle with sufferings sometimes
3:34
being publicly exposed to reproach and
3:37
affliction and sometimes being partners
3:39
with those so treated for you had
3:42
compassion on those in prison and you
3:45
joyfully accepted the plundering of your
3:47
property since you knew that you
3:50
yourselves had a better possession and
3:52
an abiding one in heaven basically
3:54
that's what he's talking about
3:55
therefore
3:56
do not throw away your confidence which
3:59
has a great reward for you of need of
4:01
endurance so that when you have done the
4:03
will of god you may receive what is
4:05
promised for yet a little while and the
4:08
coming one will come and will not delay
4:10
but my righteous one shall leave by
4:12
faith and if he shrinks back my soul has
4:14
no pleasure in him and he
4:16
ends this chapter with a beautiful
4:19
encouraging word he says that but we are
4:21
not of those who shrink back and are
4:23
destroyed but of those who have what
4:26
faith and preserve their souls
4:29
so basically he's reassuring his reader
4:32
saying i know that in your case you have
4:34
faith and now in chapter 11 he's going
4:37
to begin the chapter of faith and today
4:40
we're only going to see the description
4:41
of faith okay because a lot of times
4:44
when people hear the word faith they
4:46
think uh it's a feeling it's some kind
4:48
of stuff that you can muster up and i
4:50
think we have had some pretty bad
4:54
definition of the word faith and i think
4:56
it's important for us to really see what
4:58
the the writer of hebrews says about
5:01
faith in this chapter so basically
5:04
again i'll give you my quick intro uh
5:06
it's important that we continue to
5:08
recall the background to this letter
5:09
which i mentioned in the beginning
5:11
because the people that the the writer
5:14
was addressing they were being tempted
5:15
to go back to judaism to avoid
5:18
persecution
5:19
and in chapter 10 the writer proved what
5:22
the superiority of christ
5:24
sacrificed to the old sacrificial system
5:27
that could not even take away sins we've
5:29
been talking about that from chapter
5:30
since we began this uh
5:32
odyssey okay so christ died
5:36
once and sacrifice did not need to be
5:38
repeated and he perfected for all all
5:40
time those who are being sanctified
5:43
those who have now received the spirit
5:45
of god who's what setting us apart day
5:47
by day the old is dying and the new is
5:50
coming right
5:51
and one of the things that the readers
5:52
were struggling with
5:54
was not being able to actually
5:56
physically experience the new spiritual
5:57
realities they wanted to see christ okay
6:00
because they had a temple that they used
6:02
to go to and now they have been told
6:04
that they their root habitat is in
6:06
heaven and that's where christ ministers
6:08
so they have they had a hard time
6:11
understanding and actually
6:12
conceptualizing these truths because it
6:14
was a reality that yes jesus is alive
6:17
and he is in heaven and the seating for
6:20
the saints but they didn't know how to
6:22
grasp that because on earth they had a
6:24
tabernacle that they could go to so they
6:26
didn't know how to relate to that so the
6:28
temptation to go back to the old uh
6:31
system was always lurking around okay so
6:34
so the writer now ends chapter 10 he
6:36
calls his readers to leave what by faith
6:40
and as a way to resist on the temptation
6:43
of going back to judaism so that's what
6:45
he's talking about now in verses one to
6:47
three he's going to explain what that
6:50
faith he's mentioning is like so that's
6:52
what we're gonna be looking at so i'm
6:53
gonna read
6:54
uh hebrews chapter 11 verses one through
6:57
three and that's that's what we're gonna
6:59
look at today
7:00
okay and then we're gonna go back to
7:02
uh
7:03
the rest of the chapter and next week
7:05
now listen to how he describes faith and
7:07
i'm reading from the esv
7:09
so now faith is the assurance
7:12
of things hoped for
7:15
the conviction of things not sin
7:17
for by it meaning by faith the people of
7:21
old received the accommodation
7:23
and by faith we understand that the
7:26
universe was created by the word of god
7:28
so that what is seen
7:31
was not made out of things that are
7:33
visible so this is the word of god and
7:37
take it as search so now let's try to
7:38
understand what's going on here okay
7:42
so basically we are told in verse 1 that
7:45
faith is the assurance of things hoped
7:47
for
7:48
the conviction of things not seen so how
7:50
we to like understand these things like
7:52
like i said in on the board here
7:55
contrary to popular opinion faith is not
7:57
a feeling or something that you can
8:00
muster up or conjure up or manipulate or
8:03
create in your own strength because you
8:04
know we've heard from people of the word
8:07
of faith movement you know name it and
8:08
claim it i just gotta believe jesus i
8:10
just gotta believe and i just gotta try
8:12
hard i just gotta believe
8:14
that is not faith okay faith is not a
8:17
it's not a leap in the dark it isn't
8:19
wishful thinking it is not magic that is
8:22
not faith
8:24
that is just your own opinion that's the
8:27
that's just your own mind playing tricks
8:29
on you you you wish you have these
8:30
wishful thoughts that's not faith
8:32
okay so according to the word of god
8:35
based on what the writer is telling us
8:37
and he's telling his readers he goes
8:40
faith is the assurance of things that we
8:42
hope for the assurance meaning know that
8:45
you know that you know
8:47
the conviction of things not seen
8:49
so
8:50
the conviction having a conviction of
8:52
things that you don't see you have a
8:53
conviction of that and these people were
8:55
struggling with what they were trying to
8:57
see what jesus was so he was telling
8:59
them
9:00
according to the word of god faith the
9:02
faith that you must have to resist this
9:04
temptation
9:05
this faith is the assurance of things
9:07
that you're hoping for the assurance of
9:09
what they were looking for to what the
9:11
city of god in heaven okay and the
9:13
conviction of things not seen are you
9:15
convinced
9:17
that jesus is actually sitting at the
9:19
right hand of god
9:22
a priest after the order of melchizedek
9:24
entertaining for you those were truths
9:26
that they had to believe by faith now he
9:29
proved by scripture that all these
9:31
things was true so it's not something
9:33
that was founded or grounded on uh
9:36
wishful thinking it was based on the
9:38
word of god now the question is how does
9:41
one acquire this type of certainty okay
9:44
and this type of assurance of things
9:46
hopeful we need to understand that and i
9:48
think the best verse that explain uh
9:52
faith is romans 1 verse 17 listen to
9:56
this
9:57
so then according to romans 1 verse 17
10:00
faith
10:02
comes
10:03
by
10:04
hearing
10:05
and hearing by the word of god
10:09
let me repeat that again
10:10
then faith comes by hearing the faith
10:13
that this guy is talking about the
10:15
writer of the hebrew it comes by hearing
10:17
by hearing what by hearing the word of
10:18
god so faith
10:20
faith is produced by
10:22
listening to something and listening to
10:24
that thing is produced by the word of
10:26
god so the word of god is do is the
10:28
author of faith okay now we need to
10:30
understand that better i'm gonna try my
10:32
best
10:33
so like i said faith is birthed by
10:36
listening
10:37
and acting upon what is being commanded
10:40
and listening and acting upon what is
10:42
being commanded is birthed by the word
10:44
of god so in other words it's the word
10:47
of god that produces faith in a person
10:50
it is not you trying to manipulate
10:52
something it is not you trying to do
10:54
something it is the word of god that god
10:57
sends that produces faith god says in
10:59
isaiah 55 i think verse 10
11:02
my word will not return to me what void
11:04
but it will accomplish the purpose for
11:06
which ascended so when god sends his
11:08
word is intended for a purpose it has a
11:12
purpose and that purpose is
11:14
if something happened okay now we're
11:16
gonna see
11:17
how faith is birthed so basically
11:20
um i can there's so many scriptures that
11:23
can describe this but i want to zero in
11:25
on like
11:26
two references first before we even
11:29
start like in john 1
11:31
verse 1 to 2 we are told in the
11:33
beginning
11:34
was the word right and the word was with
11:37
god and the word was god he was in the
11:39
beginning with god so we have that and
11:42
then if you go to first samuel 3 verse
11:45
21 the scripture tells us then the lord
11:48
appeared again in shiloh for the lord
11:50
revealed himself to samuel in shiloh by
11:53
what by the word of the lord so god
11:56
revealed himself
11:58
to samuel by the word of the lord okay
12:00
who's the word of the lord that's what
12:01
we need to figure out so we understand
12:03
that the word of god is god himself
12:05
jesus okay because jesus is called the
12:08
word of god in the beginning was the
12:10
word and the word was with god and the
12:12
word was god he was in the beginning
12:14
with god okay he was in the face of his
12:17
one-on-one relationship with the father
12:19
so he was co-equal co-eternal with the
12:22
father so jesus existed from all
12:25
eternity so he is called the word of god
12:28
so he
12:30
is called the word of god now let's go
12:32
and read this a little more
12:34
so why is that so important that we need
12:35
to find out okay let's go to john 5
12:38
verse 2 to 9. i want to read something
12:40
to you here
12:41
so
12:43
let's go to verse john actually let me
12:45
let me get that passage i should have
12:46
gotten that i am so wrong in here so
12:49
john 5
12:50
verse
12:52
two to nine
12:54
so listen to this now
12:56
the reason jerusalem by the ship get a
12:59
pool in our make called bethesda
13:02
which has five roofed colonnades
13:05
in these lay a multitude of invalid
13:08
blind lame and paralyzed one man was
13:11
there who had been an invalid for 38
13:13
years
13:14
when jesus saw him there and knew that
13:16
he had already been there a long time
13:19
jesus said to him
13:20
do you want to be healed
13:24
the sick man answered him
13:26
sir
13:27
i have no one to put me into the pool
13:30
when the water is stirred up
13:32
and while i'm going another steps down
13:34
before me
13:36
and listen to what jesus says to him
13:38
jesus said to him
13:40
get up
13:41
take up your bed
13:43
and walk
13:45
and at once the man was healed and he
13:48
took up his bed and walked
13:51
this is so profound
13:54
okay this is incredibly profound now we
13:56
find out why
13:58
see the invited man he had no idea who
14:01
jesus was
14:02
he had lived his entire life in
14:04
seclusion and he was the best what
14:06
candidate for god to show his glory okay
14:09
and now listen to this
14:11
jesus said to him what what did jesus
14:13
say to him get up
14:15
take up your bed and walk and what
14:17
happened
14:19
jesus gave the command right
14:21
take up your bed
14:23
get up take up your bed and walk and
14:25
what happened
14:27
at once
14:28
the man was healed and he took up his
14:31
bed and did what and he walked okay so
14:34
the question is this
14:37
was this man
14:38
healed because of his faith or was he
14:41
healed because of jesus's commands or
14:44
jesus's words
14:46
again i asked the question was this man
14:49
healed because of his faith or was he
14:52
healed because jesus spoke the word and
14:54
something happened
14:56
that's important see in most scriptures
14:59
that refer to like healing jesus usually
15:01
commands people for their faith and we
15:04
have to be careful to really understand
15:05
what's going on like the cyber
15:07
phoenician woman when she came to jesus
15:10
and and she asked jesus to heal her
15:13
daughter and jesus said well i didn't
15:14
come for
15:15
um
15:17
you can't take the
15:18
um
15:20
the the the
15:22
children's food and give it to what the
15:24
dogs and she said even dogs eat the
15:26
crumbs that fall from the table and
15:28
jesus said woman uh great he commends
15:31
her for her faith and then he says your
15:34
daughter will get better right i don't
15:36
know if i completely quoted that passage
15:38
correctly but you get the point so he
15:40
she she gets commended for her faith now
15:42
when jesus commands people for their
15:44
faith we have to be careful to realize
15:47
to really understand what is going on
15:48
like
15:50
these people's faith
15:52
is a result of god
15:54
creating that faith in them so god gets
15:58
the glory it wasn't like that syrup
16:01
finishing woman was actually clever and
16:03
she just came up with these things no
16:05
it's the spirit of god that works worked
16:08
in her booth to will and act according
16:11
to the purpose of god the spirit of god
16:13
enabled her to say if i go to jesus and
16:16
say these words that he's going to
16:18
receive
16:19
my words because
16:20
this is the father that prepared her to
16:22
the spirit of god the spirit of god
16:24
because regeneration again precedes what
16:26
faith because the spirit of god had to
16:28
lead had to lead her to that okay so
16:32
i just want you to get it we should
16:34
never
16:35
ever think that faith is a result of our
16:38
own doing not
16:40
faith is a gift of god
16:42
this is why the righteous shall live by
16:45
faith because faith glorifies god
16:48
because faith comes from god it is god
16:51
if i'm a christian today it's not
16:52
because i chose to be a christian or i
16:54
was given a choice and i i'm like you
16:56
know why it makes sense to me i want to
16:57
be a christian now
16:59
it is because god
17:01
in his grace set me apart from birth and
17:04
then decided that i went out turned 28
17:07
i would be saved and then the gospel
17:10
made sense to me and i came to faith not
17:12
because i chose him because he chose me
17:14
and he enabled him enabled me by faith
17:16
to receive his words and to say yes i
17:18
truly believe that jesus is the son of
17:20
god and that he came to die for my sins
17:24
so faith
17:25
comes from god
17:27
this kind of faith that the the writer
17:29
is talking about it comes from the
17:30
spirit of god because we can't
17:33
manufacture faith remember the disciples
17:36
said to jesus
17:38
what did they ask him increase our faith
17:40
and what did jesus say to them
17:42
if you had faith as little as a mustard
17:45
seed you could say to this mountain move
17:48
and will obey you so basically what
17:50
jesus was telling them is this
17:52
you don't even have a centilla of faith
17:55
in you because you can't produce faith
17:58
because faith
17:59
comes from god
18:02
this is why the writer said in the
18:04
beginning faith is the assurance of
18:06
things hoped for and the conviction of
18:08
things that sin that faith comes from
18:10
god it is god who works in us both to
18:13
will and act according to his good
18:15
purpose so that he gets the glory so
18:17
faith is a result of god this is what
18:19
the scripture says
18:21
faith comes by hearing and hearing by
18:23
the word of god now listen to this two
18:26
people hear the same word coming from
18:28
god one believes the other one doesn't
18:30
why
18:31
because god
18:32
intended that word for that specific
18:34
person so faith is a result of god's
18:38
word
18:39
god is the one that produces faith in a
18:40
person through his spirit okay so it is
18:43
god through his word which enables us to
18:45
have faith the kind of faith the writer
18:47
is mentioning is birthed
18:49
by the word of god confidence and
18:51
trusting in the word of god and that is
18:53
only possible in a person who has been
18:55
truly converted
18:57
for the natural man does not what does
19:00
not delight in the word of god because
19:02
he cannot
19:03
scripture tells us in the book of romans
19:06
those things are spiritually discerned
19:07
because the man without the spirit of
19:09
god
19:10
does not accept the things of god
19:12
because he cannot so for you to have
19:15
faith you have to be born again you have
19:17
to have the spirit of god in you and
19:19
it's the spirit of god
19:21
that takes that word and makes makes it
19:24
make sense to you and you receive it as
19:25
the word of god
19:27
and then you believe by faith so faith
19:30
contrary to popular opinion is not
19:31
something that we can produce
19:33
it is produced by the word of god and
19:35
it's it's god that authors that word and
19:38
that word produces an action in us
19:41
so
19:42
jesus said somewhere apart from me you
19:44
can do nothing remain in me
19:47
and i will remain in you he said if you
19:49
remain in me and my words remain in you
19:52
you will bear much more fruits because
19:54
apart from me you can do nothing so paul
19:58
said it best i am what i am by the grace
20:00
of god
20:02
he said he worked more than anybody else
20:04
all the other apostles
20:06
but he said what yet not i but the grace
20:08
of god in me so it is god who works in a
20:11
person for the achievement of faith it
20:14
is not us and we're gonna see that in
20:15
chapters to come okay we're gonna
20:17
dissect it by examples we're gonna look
20:18
at abraham jacob and isaac we're going
20:21
to look at um
20:23
we're going to look at uh some more
20:25
examples in the old testament okay
20:27
so in verses 2 3 we are told
20:31
for by by it the people of old received
20:34
their accommodation by faith they
20:36
received it they received commendation
20:38
from god because of faith and and listen
20:40
to what he says in verse 3 by faith we
20:43
understand that the universe was created
20:46
by the word of god so that what is seen
20:48
was not made out of things that are
20:50
visible
20:51
okay so what are we learning here
20:54
basically see the former saints
20:56
that would be abraham moses you name it
20:59
david
21:00
whoever okay they were commended by god
21:03
for their faith okay it is god who
21:06
worked in those people both to will and
21:09
act according to his good purpose so
21:11
that god gets the glory and while
21:14
we and those other sin get get to be the
21:16
recipient of what his favor
21:19
see he works in us
21:21
and then he gets the glory but we get to
21:23
be the recipient recipient of his favor
21:25
this is incredible okay so the very
21:27
first thing that we ascribe to god by
21:29
faith what the kind of faith that the
21:31
writer is talking about is what creation
21:34
okay even though prior to our con
21:37
conversion we knew that god existed we
21:39
didn't want to acknowledge him according
21:41
to romans okay we didn't want to
21:43
acknowledge that god was the creator of
21:46
all things because the scripture tells
21:48
us in romans that we exchange the glory
21:50
of god for allah
21:52
and that's what a lot of people do so
21:54
the very first act of faith is
21:56
understanding that the universe was
21:58
created by the word of god
22:02
okay
22:03
the writer is saying to his readers that
22:05
you've come to believe that all things
22:07
were created by the word of god so that
22:09
the things that are visible the things
22:11
that you see now
22:12
were made by the invisible god in
22:15
accordance with romans 1 20.
22:17
listen to what romans 1 20 says for is
22:19
his invisible attributes
22:21
namely his eternal power and divine
22:23
nature
22:24
have been clearly perceived ever since
22:26
the creation of the world in the things
22:28
that have been made so remember those
22:30
people were struggling with with
22:33
really understanding what is jesus we
22:34
can't see him we heard about it we can't
22:36
see him but we want to see something he
22:38
tells them listen you yourself came to
22:41
understand that the universe was created
22:43
by the word of god so that the things
22:44
that you see were made by things that
22:47
are invisible so you came to understand
22:50
that why is it so hard for you to
22:51
understand that the lord
22:53
jesus christ is is still there
22:55
entertaining for you this is the same
22:58
faith that you need to apply in these
23:00
times because you are struggling and you
23:02
don't see so therefore you you want to
23:05
go back and shrink back so he's
23:06
strengthening them you see he gives them
23:08
a strong definition of faith so that
23:10
they they can
23:11
they can grasp it and they can get
23:13
stronger
23:15
in their faith and again it all comes
23:18
from the word of god it is the word of
23:20
god that produces faith so it's really
23:22
we at the mercy of god so we throw
23:24
ourselves and say lord please have mercy
23:26
remember what that guy said to jesus
23:28
lord i believe help my own belief
23:32
we always have to depend on god so this
23:36
is just an introduction and just a
23:37
description of faith now next week we're
23:39
going to begin to take uh some examples
23:41
of the the sense of old and unpack this
23:44
a little more but i just wanted you to
23:46
focus on this today because
23:47
faith again is not a result it's not a
23:50
result of wishful thinking is not
23:52
something that we can manufacture it's
23:54
not something that we can manipulate
23:56
it's not something that we can name and
23:57
claim it is produced by god and is god
24:00
who works in us both to will and act
24:03
according to his purpose so that god
24:05
gets the glory and we get to be the
24:07
recipient of his favor this is what it
24:09
is
24:10
so really we need to constantly thank
24:13
god that he has put faith in us because
24:16
he's the one that creates faith in a
24:18
person
24:20
even your faith to believe in jesus you
24:22
didn't come out you didn't come up with
24:24
clever ideas just suddenly realize that
24:26
jesus was the son of god no it is by
24:28
faith it is god who chooses he he
24:32
revealed that to you and then he created
24:34
faith in you to believe and then the
24:36
spirit of god supply applies the grace
24:38
of god to you and then you receive this
24:40
and you begin to rejoice and worship
24:42
jesus because now you've come to believe
24:45
in the true or son of god
24:49
it is by faith and that faith is
24:51
produced by god this is why we thank him
24:54
every day because without him
24:57
we have
24:58
no what hope the scripture tells us
25:01
no one can come to god unless what
25:04
unless the father draws him
25:06
jesus said no one can come to me unless
25:08
the father draws him so it is the father
25:10
who works in us
25:11
through his spirit to achieve that ain't
25:13
so faith is a result of god
25:16
so if you believe today if i believe
25:18
today is because of god and that must be
25:20
you and i must be forever thankful
25:23
okay so i know i deviated a little bit
25:25
from the
25:26
context well you get it he this is what
25:29
the writer was trying to communicate to
25:30
his readers listen you don't see it but
25:33
you believe that the universe was
25:34
created by the word of god by things
25:36
that are invisible okay you knew that
25:39
god made it in the same way you know
25:41
that jesus
25:42
intercedes for you he lives to intercede
25:44
for you he's at the right hand of god
25:45
and someday you will see it face to face
25:48
but as of now
25:49
believe
25:50
and hold on to it
25:52
okay so that's what he was communicating
25:54
so i hope this helped you guys out and
25:57
i'll see you next time alright thank you
25:58
and a wonderful sunday evening
