What are the qualifications to be an heir of God. To be a son of God means to have come to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. God has established the new covenent. Are you really an heir of God, adopted through faith in Jesus Christ, qualified by Christ's merit on your behalf. When do you inherit?

Apologies for the very poor audio quality. Many churches are small and often discouraged. We live in a day of big is best. Why should we encourage small churches?

We have seen a whole list of the faithful, now we come to the 'others'. Who were those others? We are not told their names, but we read here of those who were stoned to death. The Lord Jesus spoke of them as those who stoned the prophets. They had killed those who were sent to them. We read of Jeremiah being beaten, thrown into a pit and then rescued through the courage of one man.

As you read this list of men, perhaps you might think, but these men did things that do not speak of faith. However, we know that they were, because we are told so. Gideon laid out a fleece and asked for a sign, but he was a man of faith.

Rahab had heard of the triumph of the God of Israel and she believed. She acknowedged the one true God in preference to the idols of her own people. She told a lie; she was a sinner; we all are! She and her family were delivered from judgment by the grace of God.
