The Faith Honours List

Hebrews 11v17-22

We are going to focus on the verses about Abraham’s faith when he was tested (so it would be good to read Genesis 22:1-19 as well).

• Hebrews has already said that all Christians should expect to be tested (see Hebrews 4:15 – ‘tempted’ is the same word translated in Heb 11 as ‘tested’) so we need to learn from Abraham how to face tests with faith.
• We will ask 4 questions:

1. Why does God test us?

2. What makes a test?

3. How do we pass the test?

4. Which test will we never have to take?
