Ridiculous Faith: Abraham – Faith Obeys and Moves
Ridiculous Faith
Able: Faith does things God’s way
Enoch: Faith Walks
Noah: Faith Works
Ridiculous Faith Raises the B.A.R.
It Believes. It Acts. It Receives.
Hebrews 11:8-10 (NKJV)
8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9 By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; 10 for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

1 Now the Lord had said to Abram:“Get out of your country,
From your family
And from your father’s house,
To a land that I will show you. 2 I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you
And make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

Isaiah 62:1-4 (NKJV)
1 For Zion’s sake I will not hold My peace, And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, And her salvation as a lamp that burns. 2 The Gentiles shall see your righteousness, And all kings your glory. You shall be called by a new name, Which the mouth of the Lord will name. 3 You shall also be a crown of glory In the hand of the Lord, And a royal diadem In the hand of your God. 4 You shall no longer be termed Forsaken, Nor shall your land any more be termed Desolate; But you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; For the Lord delights in you, And your land shall be married.
