The World Was Not Worthy Of Them

(Faith that overcomes the world)


Hebrews 11:32-40

Key Verse 11:38a


Read verses 32-38. What does this passage tell us about the work of faith? 


Consider each of the heroic examples of faith (exploits) in Column “A” below.  Fill in Column “B” with modern day examples (or applications) to match each exploit.


Column A (Exploits)

Column B (Applications)

Conquered kingdoms


Administered justice


Gained what was promised


Shut the mouths of lions


Quenched the fury of the flames


Escaped the edge of the sword


Weakness was turned into strength


Received back their dead raised to life


Were tortured and refused to be released


Faced jeers and flogging


Were chained and put in prison


Were stoned…[put to death]


Went about in sheepskins…[persecuted]


Wandered in deserts and mountains…



Verse 38a reads, “[T]he world was not worthy of them.” In what respect was the world not “worthy” of them? 


Read verses 39 and 40. What does “something better” refer to? What does it mean for one to be made “perfect”?
