Until today, I've brought you individuals that, to me, were very human, yet God used them in super ways. Today, I bring you a list of no names. Just people who simply loved Jesus. Stood up against persecution. People who laid their lives down for their faith.

Text: Hebrews 11:32-40

1. These heroes had faith. (Hebrews 11: 1, 6)

See Proverbs 3:5-6, John 3:16-17, and Romans 3:23-25.

2. They were faithful.


God wants us to be faithful. Here is how that comes about:

1. Make a true and definite decision to follow Jesus.

2. Have a made-up, determined mindset.

3. See the greater picture - it is not so much about us as it is about those who come behind us.
