Letter 005 — The Whole Letter: Hypostasis and the Cloud of Witnesses (Hebrews 11 + 12:1)

One word in Hebrews 11:1 changes the entire chapter. Today we put the whole letter together, and find out what faith actually is — and what it isn't.

In this letter

The Greek word hypóstasis and what it really means — foundation, not feeling

Why this changes how you read Hebrews 11 and how you walk through whatever you are walking through

The full roll call of the faithful from Abel to the prophets

Hebrews 11:13-16 — the prepared city, and the verb that gives it away

Hebrews 11:39-40 — they did not receive the promise, because God was waiting for us

Hebrews 12:1 — the cloud of witnesses, the race set before you

A direct word for the listener carrying something hard

Scripture

Hebrews 11:1
