Pastor Came's message was from
Hebrews 11: 35-40. Faith is not
demonstrated by success. In
Hebrews II many did not receive
the promises of God but they knew
it would come. Faith is founded on
a person and the promise of that
person. Faith lives even if it is
tested. Coming through the test
faith is forged stronger.
In verses 24 & 25 Moses had the
opportunity to become king but he
chose to be mistreated. By faith he
left it all. It was a sacrificial option.
For us, it will be worth it all when
we see Christ, said Pastor Came.
