There is a Creator and that changes everything, Hebrews 11:1-3

1. The nature of faith, Hebrews 11:1 (see
   also Romans 8:24)
   1. Assurance of what was promised and
      the abiding hope of that promise
   2. Just as physical eyesight produces
      confidence in what is seen, faith
                  produces confidence even in that which
                  is not seen
2. The examples of faith, Hebrews 11:2
   1. There are many examples of men and women in the Old Testament who had the promises of God, sometimes even without overwhelming visible evidence that these promises would ever be fulfilled; yet these promises meant so much to them that they altered the whole course of their lives in order to live purposefully for God and His promises.
3. The fundamental object of our faith,
         Hebrews 11:3
   1. God created the visible universe
   2. God created the visible universe through
      His spoken Word
   3. God is the object of our faith, that He
      created all that we see, through His word
                  which we cannot see
