We often equate significance with fame.
Fame does not equal significance.
There are many very famous people that I think we can safely say are not very significant. I think we can also safely say that there are those who are not famous who are very significant.
For the past 5 weeks, Pastor Dave has been leading us in a study on Hebrews 11 called "Next Step" (listen here). Hebrews 11 has been dubbed the "Hall of Faith" chapter where individuals are highlighted for their incredible Faith. There are really 3 categories of individuals highlighted.
You can have fame and not have significance.
You can not have fame and have significance.
So, if you could only have one, which would it be???

- Big Names/Big Stories (Hebrews 11:1-31) - These are the men and women (Abraham, Isaac, Moses, Rahab, etc.) who are recognized the display of their faith is explained.
- Big Names/ No Stories (Hebrews 11:32-34) - Those who are recognized by name, but their acts of faith are not explained.
- No Names/ Big Stories (Hebrews 11:35-39) - The "others" (Insert Lost joke here). Those whose names are not known. No fame for them. But their faith is remembered. They were significant.
You can have fame and not have significance.
