“Jacob Blesses Joseph’s Sons” • Hebrews 11:21 – Elder Bryce Lowrance Elder Lowrance traces the history of the patriarchs from Abraham to Joseph showing how the children of Israel ended up in Egypt. While there, Jacob blesses Ephraim and Manessah on his death bed. Once again, we see an excellent example of how faith is not blind but is putting trust in the word of God.  This message was preached on Sunday, February, 23, 2025.

“The Interesting Case of Isaac’s Faith” • Hebrews 11:20 – Elder Bryce Lowrance Ignoring the declaration of God before Jacob and Esau are born that the elder would serve the younger, Isaac continually favors Esau as the firstborn. Even when he think he is going to die, Isaac tries to bless Esau but accidentally blesses Jacob. When he realizes that he has gone against God’s will, Issac trembles and then ultimately declares in faith that Isaac will be blessed as the promised one.  Part 2 begins where Jacob comes in to Isaac dressed as Esau. This message was preached on Sunday, February 16, 2025.

“Abraham’s Trial of Faith” • Hebrews 11:17-19 – Elder Bryce Lowrance Through one of the most striking trials of faith we find in the Bible, we learn that walking by faith is not blind faith like many describe it. Abraham did not toss out reason when he willingly offered up Isaac. He reasoned that God would raise him from the dead since he was the promised son. We do not have to take blind leaps of faith either. We have the will of God revealed to us in His word, the Bible. We are called to trust the promises of God and understand that His promises are true! The conclusion of part 1 taught us that walking by faith is not a blind leap of faith but a trusting in the promises of God. Part 2 begins with the example of this in David's courage to face Goliath.

“Living as a Pilgrim and Stranger” • Hebrews 11:13-16 – Elder Bryce Lowrance For the child of God, this world is foreign country. No matter what we do, we just don’t feel quite at home even when things are going well. This is because our long sought home is in heaven with Jesus. When we walk by faith we have a more sure hope of that home to come.  This message was preached on Sunday, February 2, 2025.

“Laughing Sarah” • Hebrews 11:11-12 – Elder Bryce Lowrance The next example of faith in the Apostle’s list is Sarah. We are shown by this testimony in the New Testament that Sarah did in fact trust God that He would give her a child but the historical account in Genesis shows that her act of faith was also mixed with doubt. This is important to understand because this is the common experience for all children of God. Our faith is not the foundation of our eternal justification but it is the source of our assurance of salvation. When we walk by faith, we have a greater hope.  Part 2 begins with the account of the angelic visit in Genesis 18. This message was preached on Sunday, January 26, 2025.

“Abraham” • Hebrews 11:8-10 – Elder Bryce Lowrance Abraham was given very little information when God called him to leave his homeland and go to a land that would be shown to him later. He, his son’s family, and his grandson’s family sojourned in that promised land in tents, only owning a small area to bury their dead. Abraham did not presume to lord over God’s promise. He understood that the physical land promised to him and his posterity pointed toward a greater inheritance. So Abraham sought for a heavenly home and is the perfect example for us to walk by faith.Abraham is the perfect example for us. We are to lose more and more sight of this earth so that we can keep our heavenly home in view. Part 2 begins with a companion text from 2nd Corinthians, Chapter 5. This message was preached on Sunday, January 19, 2025.

“Noah” • Hebrews 11:7 – Elder Bryce Lowrance   Continuing to look at the Old Testament saints who walked by faith in fellowship with God, Elder Bryce considers Noah. As our Savior told us, the latter days before His return will be a lot like the days of Noah. We have been given a promise of the Lord’s return even though the world doesn’t believe it and visible evidence shows no signs of His coming. So, just as Noah walked with God by faith trusting solely in His word, we should do the same.  This message was preached on Sunday, January 12, 2025.

“Enoch Walked with God” • Hebrews 11:5-6 – Elder Bryce Lowrance In this New Year’s message, Elder Lowrance continues looking at the Old Testament saints who walked by faith and found peace with God. Enoch understood that God had promised an eternal walk with Him so Enoch chose to walk with God while He was here on earth. Each of God’s children has that same promise of adoption, and the same opportunity to live in fellowship with our Father here and now.  This message was preached on Sunday, January 5, 2025.

“Righteous Abel” • Hebrews 11:4 – Elder Bryce Lowrance The Apostle’s first example from the history of the people of God who walked by faith is Abel. In this lesson we see that Abel was righteous because he was part of the everlasting covenant. When Abel walked by faith, he had a testimony to his own conscience that he was part of this covenant. When we walk by faith, we experience the same assurance, hope, and peace as Abel.  Part 2 begins with the explanation of Abel’s offering was more excellent.  This message was preached on Sunday, December 15, 2024.

“Living By Faith” • Hebrews 11:1-3 – Elder Bryce Lowrance In Chapter 11, the Apostle continues his encouragement to draw nigh unto God in fellowship rather than drawing back. The chapter begins with an amazing definition of faith. The Hebrew Christians, as well as all born again children of God, possess the Holy Spirit which gives them faith. This intrinsic trust looks for a hope outside of this fallen world. We see in these first few verses that faith allows us to see and believe that the universe was created in order by the Son of God, Jesus Christ. And, if this faith is in us, we can use it to live in hope of glory despite the present troubles of life.  Part 2 begins in verse 2. This message was preached on Sunday, December 8, 2024.
