Morning Manna - Apr 4, 2025 - Hebrews 11:22-29 - Faith Friday!

On this Faith Friday episode of Morning Manna, Rick and Doc continue their study in Hebrews 11:22–29, focusing on how faith shaped the lives of Joseph and Moses. They emphasize that true Christianity requires faith and that the trials demand strengthened faith muscles. Joseph’s final act of faith commanded that his bones be taken to the Promised Land, demonstrating belief in the future Exodus and resurrection. Moses' parents showed fearless faith by hiding him, and Moses chose to suffer with God's people rather than enjoy Egyptian privilege. The episode also explores how the Passover and Red Sea crossing foreshadow the power of faith, obedience, and resurrection.
