Hebrews 11:14
“For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland.”

Hebrews 11:15
“And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return.
There were many opportunities for the Israelites to return to their former land and ways, but they remained focused on the promises and pressed onward in faith. Opportunities abound in today’s world, many of which entice us to turn our hearts and minds away from our faith focus. As you run this race of life, keep your eyes focused on Jesus and look forward to the prize that awaits. (Hebrews 12:1-2)
Prayer Focus: Ellis Grove First Baptist Church, Pastor Dan Ahlenius

“By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
Abrahams’ enduring faith is a testimony that all we have belongs to God. Nothing is to come between us and our relationship with Him. God may not call us to such a test, but daily we make choices that reveal our faith in Him. Are you holding something back from God? Genesis 22:1-14

Hebrews 11:18
“of whom it was said, “In Isaac your seed shall be called,"

Hebrews 11:19
“concluding that God was able to raise to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.”

Hebrews 11:20
“By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.”

Prayer Focus: Matthews Baptist Church, Pastor Todd Stearns

Hebrews 11:21
“By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.”
