0:00.0	From the pages of Hebrews Chapter 11, the Great Hall of Faith,
0:10.7	we will discover what it really means to trust God when life doesn't make sense,
0:15.9	to walk by faith when we can't see the way forward.
0:19.8	Join Scott Pauli now for this study as he highlights

1:34.8	The Bible says, by faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were compassed about seven days.
1:43.6	By faith, the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not when she had received the spies with peace.
1:46.6	Could I just pause and point something very interesting out to you?
1:51.8	Because in verse 30, you have a record of the people who are marching around the walls of Jericho.
1:53.6	Do you remember the army of Israel?
1:58.0	And in verse 31, you have the record of one woman who's living on the wall.
