Hebrews 11:4-7
Hebrews 11:1

Is your faith forgettable?
Hebrews 11:4
By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks.
Genesis 4:3-5
In the course of time Cain brought to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the ground, and Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions. And the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering, 5 but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his face fell.
Bring God the best not just “the rest”.
You’ll be treated wrong even when you do what’s right.

Genesis 5:22-24

There’s no formula to life by faith.
Life with God > Life for God
Hebrews 11:7
By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. By this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith

Consistent faith leads to crazy faith.
What’s called “crazy” in one season will be called “faith” in another season.
