Welcome to this weekend's In Touch podcast with Charles Stanley. Many of our favorite Bible stories feature ordinary people who trusted God in the most extraordinary and difficult circumstances.

Join us as we continue the Extraordinary Life series with practical lessons from those who walked by faith and discovered God's faithfulness every step of the way.

What is the factor in the lives of these Old Testament saints that made them live extraordinary lives?

And the key factor here is what I want to talk about in this message.

And that is simply this, the life of faith. So what I want to do in this

passion of Scripture is this. I want to give you a picture of what the life of faith is about.

And we're going to turn to the 11th chapter of the book of Hebrews. And what you're going to find

here is simply this, that all of these people that we'll talk

about had one thing in common. And that is, they had an absolutely undivided confidence in the

promises of God. They're ordinary people, but they listen to God, and God did something awesome

through them. You say, well, who am I? God knows who you are.

What can he do in my life? He's sitting on ready waiting for you to believe him and to trust him

and to follow him. Then you will discover what he can do in and through your life.

Or you can live a settle for a life, stay on the low level, just being ordinary, coming and going,

and something awesome missing in your life. You don't want to live your life that way. Or maybe you do.

If you're wise, you want. Now, here's what I want to live your life that way. Or maybe you do. If you're wise, you won't.

Now, here's what I want to do.

I'm simply going to describe what a life of faith looks like by looking at these people in this particular chapter of the scripture.

So I'm going to answer the question, when we walk by faith, what? So look if he will in this 30th

verse. By faith, the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been in circle for seven days.

Now, what is the principle here? When you and I walk by faith, the Word of God will be our victory.

The Word of God will be our victory. His Word is our victory. Now remember what happened. Back to Joshua.
