Scripture: Hebrews 11:1-10

Denomination: Baptist

Summary: Sermon on faith preached in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina

*Jack had served in WW2 as an army chaplain and had ministered ever since then. When they met for the last time on this side of Heaven, near the end of their visit, Richard asked: “Jack, is there anything you want me to tell your brothers and sisters on opening night at the convention? Thousands of them from all over the world will be gathered to hear about [God’s amazing love.]”

*And Richard said: “The old soldier of the cross spoke with such a feeble voice I couldn’t make it out. Then he said it again, ‘Dick, tell my brothers and sisters that Jesus never fails.’”

“Is there anything else you want me to tell them?”

“No, just tell them that the love of Jesus never fails.” (6)

*I read that story and I thought back to one of the last times I ever saw Chip McNeil. It was just a few weeks before he died, and he was so sick, lying in a hospital bed with a fever of 104 or 105 degrees. But he was singing:

-Jesus never fails!

-You might as well get thee behind me, Satan,

-You cannot prevail...

-Because Jesus never fails! (7)

*That’s faith! I knew I was standing on holy ground.

*When you are dying of cancer, Jesus never fails!

-When you’ve got 20 feet of water in your house, Jesus never fails!

-When you are lying in a bed with a fever of 105, Jesus never fails!

Conclu:

*That’s faith, real faith, the kind of faith that changes everything.

-Have faith in God.
