0:00.0	Good morning and welcome to our second service on Sunday mornings, where we go through the Bible, book by book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse.
0:08.2	And today we are currently going through the book of Hebrews and are in chapter 11.
0:15.4	And our text is going to be verses 4 through 6.
0:18.2	So I'll ask those of you that are here if you're able to stand.
0:22.4	You can follow along as I read the text, if not where you're seated is fine.
0:28.3	The writer of Hebrews, by the Holy Spirit, is writing and says,
0:34.6	By faith, Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did. By faith, he was commended
0:45.5	as righteous when God spoke well of his offerings, and by faith, Abel still speaks, even though he is dead. By faith, verse
0:59.0	five, Enoch was taken from this life so that he did not experience death. He could not
1:08.7	be found because God had taken him away. He was raptured.
1:15.7	Anyway, we'll talk about that in a moment. For before he was taken, he was commended as one
1:24.9	who pleased God. And without faith, it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes
1:34.6	to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Let's pray if you would, please join with me. Father in heaven, we're so thankful to you for your word and this portion that we have here before us today in your word. Lord, at this time though need for the Holy Spirit to enable us to
2:10.8	focus our attention and quiet our minds and settle our hearts so that we can receive from you. Undistracted,
2:24.6	uninterrupted by any of the cares and the affairs of our busy and stressful lives, as difficult
2:32.8	as things are getting. Lord, I pray that the enemy
2:37.9	would not be allowed in any way to enter today and take our minds away from you and your word. Lord, don't let those thoughts find a place in our
2:58.4	minds and our hearts so that we can give you our undivided attention because the portion
3:06.9	that we have here before us in your
3:09.0	word is so, so important for such a time as this, Lord.
3:16.3	So thank you in advance for what you're going to do in our time together in your word.
3:21.3	Today we pray in Jesus' name.
