Epistle: Hebrews 11:29-12:2
Gospel: Luke 12:49-56
Sermon Title: An Unexpected Crowd
Last week we took the first half of the “Heroes of Faith” chapter in Hebrews 11, including the powerful definition of faith. This week we’re going to take the second half and the start of chapter 12, all of which tie together beautifully – and in quite an unexpected and mysterious way. We’ll talk more about this “great cloud of witnesses” and think more about who’s in that crowd – and there may be some rather unexpected characters.
