Faith allows us to trust God through all kinds of trials, even when things don't make logical sense. When God asked Abraham to sacrifice his beloved son Isaac, it didn't make logical sense, yet Abraham was willing to trust God and sacrifice his son. How can this same type of faith be developed in our lives?

Abraham waited many years before he was able to hold the son that God had promised him. In addition, certain promises were not fulfilled during his lifetime, yet he continued to believe that God would keep His word.

Can you imagine building a huge ark that could be seen for miles and yet was miles away from the nearest ocean?

By faith, Enoch did not experience death because God had taken him. Enoch’s life seems like a mystery, for there are little known details about his life, but we do know that he pleased God. Based on what we know about Enoch, what can we learn so that it may be said of us that our lives please God?

Cain tried to worship God on his own terms, in essence, creating his own religion. Similarly today, men still try to create their own religion and individual path to God. However, doing so completely overlooks one important fact: God created man, not the other way around; therefore, God has the knowledge and right to determine the exact path to Himself.

Both Cain and Abel offered a sacrifice to God, but the book of Hebrews tells us that, by faith, Abel offered a more pleasing sacrifice than Cain's. What exactly set Abel's sacrifice apart from Cain's?
