Faith Hall of Fame
Dr. Kenneth Sullivan Jr. on August 17, 2025
Here's a 5-day morning Bible reading plan and devotional guide based on the themes from the sermon:
Day 1: Audacious Faith
Hebrews 11:1-6
Faith is the foundation of our Christian walk. It's not just believing, but acting on that belief with boldness and conviction. Today's passage reminds us that faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen. Like the heroes of faith mentioned, we too are called to live with audacious faith. Reflect on areas in your life where you need to exercise more faith. Are there dreams or callings you've been hesitant to pursue? Remember, without faith it is impossible to please God. Take a step today, however small, towards living out your faith more boldly.
Day 2: Everyday Faithfulness
Romans 12:1-2
God doesn't just use extraordinary people; He uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things. Today's passage calls us to offer our bodies as living sacrifices and to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. This is an everyday commitment. Think about your daily routines and responsibilities. How can you infuse them with faith and purpose? Whether you're a student, parent, worker, or retiree, God wants to use you right where you are. Commit to being faithful in the small things, trusting that God can use your everyday obedience for His extraordinary purposes.
Day 3: Overcoming Obstacles
Joshua 1:6-9
Just as the heroes of faith faced seemingly insurmountable odds, we too encounter obstacles in our journey. Today's passage reminds us of God's command to be strong and courageous. What challenges are you facing right now? Perhaps it's discrimination, financial struggles, or personal doubts. Remember, the same God who parted the Red Sea and brought down the walls of Jericho is with you. He promises to be with you wherever you go. Take time to identify your biggest obstacle and pray specifically for God's strength and guidance to overcome it.
Day 4: Running Your Race
Hebrews 12:1-3
Life is often compared to a race in Scripture. Today's passage encourages us to run with perseverance, fixing our eyes on Jesus. We're surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses – those who have gone before us in faith. Their examples should inspire us to press on. What weights or sins are hindering your spiritual race? It's time to lay them aside. Focus on Jesus, who endured the cross for the joy set before Him. In what ways can you realign your life to run your unique race more effectively? Remember, you're not competing against others, but striving to fulfill God's specific calling for your life.
Day 5: Leaving a Legacy
2 Timothy 4:6-8
Our faith journey isn't just about us; it's about the legacy we leave for future generations. Paul, nearing the end of his life, could confidently say he had fought the good fight and kept the faith. He looked forward to the crown of righteousness awaiting him. How do you want to be remembered? What spiritual legacy are you building? Today, consider writing a personal mission statement that reflects your desire to live a life of faith. Think about how your actions today will impact those who come after you. Commit to living in such a way that your faith becomes an inspiration and example to others, just as the heroes of Hebrews 11 have inspired us.
