Hebrews 11.1-3,8-16

The wings of faith - Week 1 of 4

Four weeks in which we discover how the images of the Letter to the Hebrews empower the language and music of our worship.

Imagine

Today we read from the Letter to the Hebrews, written to some of the earliest Christians, living in difficult circumstances. The writer urges them to persist in their faith as their Jewish ancestors did, especially Abraham. 


This week's reading, Hebrews 11.1-3,8-16, provides an opportunity to: 

  • think about the context for which Hebrews was written (AAA & CYP)
  • think about setting out on a journey in faith (AAA & CYP)
  • explore what we mean by heaven (AAA)
  • discover more about Abraham and Sarah (CYP) 
  • think about strangers and foreigners. (AAA & CYP)

These resources were first published in 2013.
