The Missing Verse

Feeling the pull to retreat when life gets heavy? We walk through Hebrews 10–12 to explore how faith endures real pressure, how confidence carries a reward, and why God’s “little while” can feel like our “long while.” The message is clear and challenging: don’t throw away your confidence. You have need of endurance, not because pain is noble, but because promise is real.

We unpack the difference between defining faith and describing it: assurance about what we hope for, conviction about what we do not see. That shifts faith from theory to movement—praying for forgiveness and trusting it’s granted, believing Christ will return, aligning choices with a future we haven’t yet touched. We also trace the genealogy of faith from Abel to Moses and stop at a striking gap: a skipped generation between the Red Sea and Jericho. For forty years, fear drowned out obedience, and God left their line unwritten. That silence asks a hard question for us today: would our season be recorded as “by faith,” or skipped because comfort won?

Along the way, we center on the promise that God is—provider when resources thin, protector when threats rise, healer in sickness, shelter in storms. We bring it home with a ringside story of endurance: you can be bruised and still be winning, pressed and still be progressing. The cloud of witnesses in Hebrews 12 cheers us on, reminding us how far we’ve come and what waits ahead. If you’ve been tempted to shrink back, consider this your corner coach counting down the seconds: hold fast, keep moving forward, refuse to be a missing verse.
