We can be Heroes

I remember as a kid I used to imagine being a super-hero. The thought of being able to fly, lift heavy objects, having bullets bounce off my chest… how cool would that be!  But once I got older, reality set in, and I came to terms with the fact that I was, well, just normal.

But as we have been walking through Hebrews 11, my crazy kid imagination has been reborn! My passion for greatness has need reignited!  For if what we are reading is in fact true, as bearers of the faith of Christ, we have the ability to be transformed into the supernatural! Indeed, we can be heroes. Heroes of faith!

You see in Hebrews chapter 11 the writer goes through a list of the hero’s of the faith in such a way as to encourage us that they same faith that empowered them also empowers us! The same God that led them also leads us!   God has not changed.  Faith has not changed.

So the bigger question is – what is holding us back? What is weighing us down?  I think the writer is presenting us with a challenge.  Look at your race, identify your weakness, throw it off, and get in the race.  The crowd is waiting, the other runners are lined up, the official has the gun in the air, ready to fire.  Are you ready?

Join us Sunday for Heroes of the Faith.
