I Believe (part 6): Abraham’s Growth, Pastor David Welch

October 22, 2023




8 “By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9 By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise; 10 for he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. “

Hebrews 11:8-10 (NASB1995)



The Idea:

This Is How to Slow-Grow Your Faith into a Strong, Overcoming Life.




Faith grows when...


I. Faith grows when God calls you out, and you just go


“By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going. “

Hebrews 11:8 (NASB1995)


“The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you. “

Genesis 12:1 (NIV)




II. Faith grows when you go without needing to know


“By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out … and he went out, not knowing where he was going.”

Hebrews 11:8 (NASB1995)



“[Abraham and Sarah] considered Him faithful who made the promised.”

Hebrews 11:11 (NIV)



“Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass.”

1 Thessalonians 5:24 (NASB1995)



III. Faith grows when you know you live for better foundations


9” By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents …

10 for he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. “

Hebrews 11:9-10 (NASB1995)
