Summary

We often hear stories of the Old Testament heroes of the faith; yet fail to relate the lessons they learned to our own lives. Abel, Enoch, Abraham, Moses, Noah and others all seem spiritually out of reach, but "They Were Just Like Us." In this eleven-part series, Michael Youssef examines the trials and turmoil, failures and faults, of each of these men and women to reveal the realities of faith. Allow God to conform you to His likeness, and your faith will reach new heights.

0:00.0	You know, there's a legend that goes something like this. One day, Satan was auctioning his tools in his toolbox. And as they were all gone for sale in an auction, He held his most prized tool for the highest price. His most
0:27.3	valuable tool. Guess what it was? Discourishment. I know it's a legend, but there's a lot of
0:35.1	truth in that. Because Satan knows that discouragement
0:41.2	is the opposite of courage. That discouragement is the enemy of courage. That discouragement is the
0:50.7	tool of his choice to keep us from being courageous, for keeping us from doing
0:57.8	courageous things, and from doing and changing and impacting our world for Jesus Christ.
1:06.4	So here's the question, where does this courage come from?
1:13.6	And the answer comes screaming to us from the scripture. That courage comes from faith. Faith in the power of God. Faith in the character
1:23.0	of God. Faith in the promises of God. Faith in the Word of God. In fact, J.P. Phillips has written a little
1:32.0	book many years ago entitled, Your God is too small. And the bottom line of this book is this,
1:39.4	that if the God you worship is a tiny God, then you should not trust him. For only the true God of the Bible
1:48.6	is the God who is sovereign, is the God who is holy, he's the God who is loving, is the God who is
1:57.5	faithful, is the God who is omniscient, he's the God who's omnipotent, who's the God
2:02.1	who's omnipresent. Only that God is worthy of all of our trust. And only when we fully trust
2:10.7	in Him will we have true courage. In fact, courage is the whole mark of faith. Courage is the clearest indication of faith.
2:22.9	Courage is the manifestation of faith. Courage is the flag that flies high that says faith is in the house.
2:32.7	Courage says, here I am, Lord, send me. Not here I am, Lord, send my sister.
2:42.3	We got plenty of that courage around these days. We got plenty of that. It reminds me of a true
2:48.2	story of a couple who went to the dentist, Mr. Mrs. Appleton,
2:54.1	and they went to the dentist, and Mr. Appleton said to the dentist, he said, Doc, he said,
2:59.7	we're in a hurry, and we need you to extract this bad tooth very quickly. Don't worry about using
3:05.9	Novakane. Don't use drugs. Don't use painked
