Welcome back to Season 11! This week, Pastor Don continues our journey through Hebrews 11 by examining one of the most extraordinary figures in Scripture—Enoch. Hebrews 11:5-6 tells us that Enoch was "taken from this life" without experiencing death because he pleased God. But what made Enoch so special? And what can we learn from his walk with God?

Unlike the repeated refrain in Genesis 5—"so-and-so lived... and then he died"—Enoch's story is uniquely different. He didn't just live; he walked with God. And instead of dying, God simply took him home. Enoch's life challenges us to examine the depth of our own relationship with God and ask: Am I walking with Him? Am I pleasing Him?

In This Episode, Pastor Don Explores:

1) Enoch Walked with God
Genesis 5:21-24 reveals that Enoch walked with God for 300 years after becoming the father of Methuselah. The Hebrew phrase used here is translated in the Septuagint as "pleased God," which connects directly to Hebrews 11:5. Enoch's life wasn't just about existing—it was about intimate, ongoing communion with his Creator. He had confidence in God, lived in communion with Him, opened his heart to Him, and consulted Him as a bosom friend.

2) To Walk with God Is to Be in Agreement with God
Amos 3:3 asks, "Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?" Walking with God means being aligned with His will and His ways. Enoch's faith gave him confidence in God's ability, wisdom, and love. Even when God allows things we don't understand, walking with Him means trusting that His ways are higher than ours. When we disagree with God and separate ourselves, we lose joy and peace. When we agree with Him, we experience the blessings of a close relationship.

3) To Walk with God Is to Be in Step with God
Enoch lived in increasingly wicked times—soon after him, God would send the flood. Yet Enoch maintained his integrity and chose to live by the Spirit. Jude 14-15 tells us Enoch was also a prophet, warning his generation about God's coming judgment. Walking with God means keeping in step with the Spirit—not running ahead in impatience or lagging behind in procrastination. It means allowing the Spirit to produce His fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

4) Then He Was No More, Because God Took Him Away
Enoch's departure is one of only two such events in Scripture (Elijah being the other). While Elijah's translation involved chariots of fire and a whirlwind, Enoch's was quieter—but no less miraculous. What's striking is that Enoch lived only 365 years, while his father Jared lived 962 and his son Methuselah lived 969. Why would God take a man who walked so closely with Him so "early"? The answer: his work was finished. Sometimes we don't understand God's timing, but faith trusts that He knows best.

5) Without Faith It Is Impossible to Please God
Hebrews 11:6 makes this crystal clear: "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him." Enoch's faith produced works, prompted by love, and endurance inspired by hope. And God testified—perhaps directly—that Enoch pleased Him. Romans 8:16 tells us the Spirit testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. These confirmations sustain us when the enemy tries to steal our assurance.

A Critical Warning

Pastor Don also addresses a dangerous assumption: some people think they are pleasing God when they're not. They attend church, read their Bibles, but live the rest of their lives according to selfish desires. They've created a god of their own design—one that suits their comforts rather than the true God who calls us to surrender. Romans 8:5-8 reminds us that those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God. True faith expresses itself through love and obedience.

Key Takeaways:

• Walking with God means being in agreement with Him
• Pleasing God requires keeping in step with the Spirit
• You don't have to understand everything to trust God
• God rewards those who earnestly seek Him with assurance and peace
• True faith produces works prompted by love
• It's not just the length of your life, but the depth of your walk

A Question to Ponder:

Does God testify that you are pleasing Him? Are you earnestly seeking Him?

"Without faith it is impossible to please God." — Hebrews 11:6

I have been there and trained pastors, and so they can testify to you that that's what happens. At any rate, here we are, season 11, episode three on the Talk About It podcast, where we're talking about faith. And I'm glad you're here. I hope the last two episodes have been good for you and set you up. And here we go. We're gonna move forward now, okay? And uh I love this. I love this because I think that as we move forward on this series in faith, okay, um, we we're gonna come encounter with some people that I believe are incredible. And today is no less an example of that. Hebrews chapter 11, verse 5. I love this. It says, and you um, it says right here, oh, let me see what I did. Ooh, I turned to Hebrews chapter 12. No, I want to be in Hebrews chapter 11, just like I want you to be in Hebrews chapter 11. Hebrews chapter 11, verse 5. By faith it was taken, or by faith, Enoch was taken away, so that he did not see death and was not found because God had taken him. For before he was taken, he had this testimony. I like this. Before he was taken, here's the testimony of Enoch. It's not complicated. The testimony is this he pleased God. And then verse six says, But without faith, it's impossible to please him. For he who comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. Wow. All right, so Enoch's quite a fellow. Now, there's a lot of things floating around the life of Enoch, uh, but I'm not getting into all of those weeds today because I don't believe that accomplishes our task here on Talk About It. What I do believe accomplishes our task is that we understand that this fellow, Enoch, experienced something pretty extraordinary. Okay. And so in part three of uh season 11 here, what it what what it takes faith to do, okay, we're gonna see that it takes faith to please God. Now, number one, uh, this is very important for us to grab a hold of. All right, Enoch walked with God. And chapter five tells us that, or chapter 11, verse five tells us that. And and we're learning a little bit about this guy, all right. He he learned, or we learn, um, that he didn't die, which is amazing in and of itself. Uh, there's only one other person who ever experienced that kind of departure, and that was Elijah. And I'm gonna touch on that probably a little bit later, I think. Um, we see that Enoch was commended uh as someone who pleased God, and we find out a little bit more about him when you read your Bible. Uh in you start in Genesis chapter 5, uh, verse 18. And when Jared lived 162 years, he became the father of Enoch. And after he became the father of Enoch, Jared lived 800 years, and other sons and daughters, altogether Jared lived 962 years, and then he died. When Enoch lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah. And after he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters. All together, Enoch lived 365 years, relatively pretty young compared to Jared and Methuselah. Okay. Now, Enoch walked with God, then he was no more because God took him away. Now, genealogy, okay? Um, one of those things in the Bible that is incredibly um, gosh man, just so interesting. Okay. Uh in this genealogy, um you you see how it says, so-and-so lived, so-and-so lived, so-and-so lived, and they lived X amount of years and then they die. But with Enoch, it says something different. It replaces lived with the word walked with God. Interesting to me. I don't know how you read your Bible, but sometimes, man, things like that just kind of jumped out with me. So-and-so lived, so-and-so died. It doesn't say that about Enoch. It says that he walked with God instead of then he died, then it says, and he was no more because God took him away. Now, obviously, there's something different about Enoch. He didn't just live, he walked with God. Now, I'm not saying none of the other people on this list were not godly people, but there's something more to the life of Enoch than there was for the others in the list. And I think that the text doesn't make the statement that way for any just any old reason. I mean, if we read on in the genealogy, you're going to find Noah. And you're going to see that Noah was Enoch's great-grandson. And we we already know that Enoch walked with God, but did you know that Noah is the only other person in the Bible that this phrase is attached to? It's actually Genesis chapter 6, verse 9. Just Enoch and Noah. Even though Noah was born after Enoch's departure, I'd like to think that there were some pretty special lessons and stories handed down by his father and his grandfather regarding the character and example of great great or great-grandpa Enoch. Now, it's it's interesting that while uh Hebrews chapter 11, verse 5 says that Enoch pleased God, Genesis chapter 5, verse 24 says he walked with God. So which is it? Did he please God or did he walk with God? Which is it? Well, it's both. See, the Septuagint, which is a Greek translation of the Old Testament from the second, third century BC, it translates the Hebrew for walked with God as pleased God. So the two phrases are one and the same. It's just that one in Genesis was written in Hebrew, and one in Hebrews was written in Greek. Now, I know it sounds a little confusing, but at least the mystery's solved, okay? So what does it mean that Enoch walked with or pleased God? Well, I'm glad you asked. So here we go. Okay. To walk with God is to be in agreement with God. Say it with me again. To wall with God is to be in agreement with God. Amos chapter 3, verse 3. Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so. Now, Family Bible Notes commentary states it this way. He, Enoch, had confidence in him, God, lived in communion with him, opened his heart to him, and consulted him as his bosom friend. That's that's a pretty that's a pretty good statement. So Enoch had faith. So that means that he had confidence in God. And that's what I teach in my men's discipleship. I just make faith very simple. Okay, I don't make it complicated. Here's Pastor Don's definition of faith: confidence in God. Confidence in his ability, in his wisdom, in his love. Since Enoch walked with God and shared communion with God, okay, Enoch had faith in God. If he walked with God, I'm sure he also talked with God. Probably not in a literal sense, just as a spiritual sense, since the fall pretty much removed that possibility. But this is what Enoch was doing in walking with God. Enoch wouldn't, he would not have been walking with God if he wasn't in agreement with God, because the two go hand in hand. I might be able to be obedient without agreeing to that which I'm obeying, but I doubt I would be able to maintain it for very long. Now, it's so much easier and successful to obey when I understand that I'm in agreement with the command that I'm obeying. Somebody say amen. Roll me. And it's not just agreeing to his commands, it's also being in agreement with his will. When God allows things to happen in our life, we may not understand, and we may even think that certain things aren't fair, but we accept that, you know, God's ways are higher than ours, and that we don't know everything that's going on, and so that we believe that God will still love us and wants us to be close to Him. Does that make sense? It's very listen, when I agree that God is good all the time and that He is right all the time, I will walk closely with God and I will experience the blessing of that. But when I become angry with God and separate from Him and disagree with His way of doing things, I'll find myself suffering from that decision. God will still love me, He'll still reach out to me, but if I maintain a distance from Him, I'll lose the joy and the peace that I once had. See, when I lose the desire to please God, my faith suffers. Talk about it. My heart will harden and my love will grow cold. I'll put myself away from God's guidance and away from God's protection. And when left to my own ways and my own directions, I won't do very well. Come on, you know I'm talking about the truth of the matter today. Walking with God means being in agreement with God. It's pretty simple. But the next thing I want you to understand here is to walk with God is to be in step with God. Now, Galatians chapter 5, verse 16. So I say, live by faith, and you'll not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what's contrary to the spirit, and the spirit what's contrary to the sinful nature. They're in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you should do. But if you're led of the spirit, you're not under the law. The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, debauchery, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions, and envy, drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, peace, joy, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control against such things. There is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with his passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Come on, talk about it. It's understood that Enoch lived in some pretty unholy times. Remember, Noah came along not long after Enoch. And we read in the next chapters of Genesis that man's wickedness had become so great that every inclination and thought of their heart was only evil all the time. That's pretty bad, talk about it. That's what ushered in the flood, okay? So now, with that said, we know that despite the world becoming more and more evil to the point of God wiping everyone out and saving eight people, we know that that particular time Enoch was the guy who maintained his integrity and his morality. He chose to live by the Spirit, and he chose to be the voice of God to those around him. Jude, verse 14. Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men. Seeing the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones to judge everyone and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly acts they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh words ungodly sinners have spoken against him. Now, Albert Bond's Barnes commentary. Now, I I'm kind of a theological nerd a little bit. I'm a country boy. I love to hunt fish and all this good stuff. But what might shock a lot of people is that I'm kind of nerdy when it comes to commentaries and uh good theology. I think good theology makes strong Christians. I think weak theology produces weak Christians. I I've always said this, and this is really why I started the podcast. I mean, a lot of people said, Pastor, I don't know you should start a podcast. I don't have time for all of that. But then it really got convicted because, you know, I just talked to more and more people. I'm a pastor and I talk to people about their faith all the time, and I've I'm just continuing to find that Christians know what they believe. They just don't know why they believe it, which is also why I started a Bible college. Hello, somebody's called Edge Bible College, equipping disciples to go everywhere. Maybe you didn't know about that, but there you go. Now, Jude. I love what Jude does here, and I love what Albert Barnes' commentary says here about uh what Jude is talking about. Albert Barnes says this in his commentary the age in which we live is undoubtedly one of the greatest of wickedness. Wow. The age in which Enoch lived, and I think about ours as well, is one of the greatest of wickedness. Enoch is selected as the only one of that generation. Wow. And he appears to have spent his life in public reproving a sinful generation, warning them of the approaching judgment. The wickedness, which ultimately led to the universal deluge, seems already to have commenced in the earth. And Enoch, like Noah, his great grandson, was raised up as a preacher of righteousness to reprove a sinful generation. That's what Albert Barnes says. That's pretty good. You know what Jude teaches me? Enoch was a prophet. He was someone chosen by God to divulge a message to those in his generation and each generation henceforth. We might not be a prophet, but we are a voice. Come on, talk about it. Talk about it may not be a prophet, but we are a voice. And one of the ways we please God is to speak his truth to those who don't know it and aren't living it. Enoch chose to keep in step with God instead of stepping with the flesh. He pleased God because he bore the fruit of God. Since Enoch lived in the Spirit, he kept in step with the Spirit. One of the ways we walk with God is when we keep in step with the Spirit. We don't run ahead. We don't lag behind. We keep in pace. We keep in step because we're close to the Spirit. We fall back, we run ahead. What we do is we create a distance with the Spirit, and His voice and His influence becomes less and less impactful because of that distance. Now, if I'm keeping in step with the Spirit, I'm not trying to get ahead of God. And when I'm impatient or too eager or procrastinating, then there's something I know that should be done. And that is, I need to keep in step with the Spirit. Keeping in step with the Spirit, talk about it, is a faith issue. That's why I'm talking about this today. What I want you to grab a hold of is keeping in step with the spirit is a faith issue. Running ahead or lagging behind shows a lack of faith that God uh doesn't know what he's doing. And if I'm going to walk with God and please God, I need to stay in step with God. Somebody say, Amen, or oh me, or always hello, somebody. Because, see, one of the things that we've got to understand very clearly is that when we get out of step with the spirit, okay, we're out of step with pleasing God. When we get out of step with the spirit, we got out of step of living by faith. Here's one of the major things that I want you to understand about Enoch. The Bible says, then he was no more because God took him away. Genesis chapter 5. The ending of Enoch's life is pretty amazing. He didn't die, he was simply taken by God. Now there's only one other occurrence of this in the scripture, and that was with you got it, Elijah. And you you can read about that in 2 Kings uh chapter 2. It's pretty, it's pretty dramatic. Elijah and his successor, Elisha, were traveling together, and Elijah um he already he he's already known that he was going to be taken up, uh, and he was preparing Elisha for his departure. And then it happened. 2 Kings chapter 2, uh, verse 11. As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chair of fire and a horse of fire appeared, and it separated the two of them, and Elijah went up into heaven in a whirlwind. Seeing, listen, can you imagine seeing something like that? It would blow your mind. Can you imagine just seeing something like you you gotta you gotta be like, what just happened? I mean, we're not given any details about how it happened with Enoch like we were with Elijah, but it must have been a sight to see nonetheless, or maybe no one saw it. But what I do see is that God does things differently in unique situations. Come on, somebody. Enoch's departure didn't come maybe with as much dramatics as Elijah's did. Maybe it did, maybe it didn't. I just don't know. But that doesn't mean God saw these two differently. Let's say it wasn't as dramatic. And we say, well, oh, you know what? Enoch, he didn't have the flair Elijah did when he left, you know, because it wasn't as dramatic. It's just he was walking with God one minute and one minute he was gone. No. What I want you to grab a hold of is that God doesn't see these two any different. Think of Abel. We just looked at it last week. Abel died a violent death at the hands of his brother while Enoch never died, but both were faithful. God has a different plan for each and every one of us who trust him. Talk about it. I want you to let that settle into your spirit today because you've been listening to this podcast for a long time. And I want to make sure I give you something that can settle inside of who you are. God has a different plan for each one who trusts him. Just because the ending was different for Enoch, it doesn't mean he had a greater faith than Abel. It didn't necessarily mean Enoch pleased God more than Abel did. We can't judge how a person's life ends as an indicator of their faith or how pleased God was with them. I want you to think about this. When you consider the genealogy of Genesis chapter 5, it's easy to see that people lived quite a long life in those days. Sure it is. And it's interesting that the two men who lived the longest on the earth were Enoch's father, Jared, and his son Methuselah, and he's kind of sandwiched in between them. And we see that he only lives 365 years. It seems a little absurd to me to say he only lived 365 years, but you gotta you right oh he only lived 365 years, right? That's a long time. But not when you put it in perspective of Jared, 962 years, or Methuselah, 969 years, when we do that, we realize that Enoch's pretty young when the Lord took him. Wow. One would one would wonder why. Why he would do that. If he was walking with God, if he was pleasing to God, why did God take him so soon? The only answer is his work was finished. Obvious, this brings to mind someone else we know who walked with God and pleased God and was taken too soon. Come on, somebody. The same answer applies to his work. It was done. He even said, it is finished. And there are some things that we're just not gonna figure out. On this side of heaven, there are some things, talk about it, we're just never gonna figure out. However, that's why we're having a conversation in this season about faith, because it takes faith. It takes faith that we don't allow the lack of understanding to change how we feel about God or how we operate in our daily walk with God. No, we walk by faith and not by sight. Oh my. Come on, today talk about it. The last thing I want to leave with you is that without faith, it's impossible to please God. That's what Hebrews chapter 11, verse 6 says. Enoch's faith enabled him to want to please God. And his pleasing God was what preceded God taking him. And I want to say this: we can't please God unless we have an exhibited faith. Remember, James talked about the two kinds of faith. We talked about it already. Dead faith, faith that is inactive does not please God. Saving faith, it's an active faith. That's what pleases God. Enoch had a saving faith. He had an active faith. His work prompted by faith was what pleased God. And I guarantee that it wasn't just his faith that pleased God, but it was his love for God as well. Paul Paul's writing a letter to the Thessalonians, 1 Thessalonians chapter 1, verse 3. We continue to rem remember before our God and our Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. Talk about it. Watch this. Right faith produces right works. I want to say that slow. Right faith produces right works. Paul said in Galatians chapter 5, verse 6 that what counts is faith expressing itself through love. That's what is needed to please God. And so, Pastor Don, what is faith? It's a great question. Because we always say, well, it takes faith. It takes faith. And you know, when we struggle to define what faith is, we wonder if we have it. Come on, I'm talking to somebody today. Do we have faith? Do we believe in God? Do we believe that he will reward me if I earnestly seek him? Seek after his wisdom, seek after his ways, seek after the things of the Spirit, not half-heartedly like we talked about already, but sincerely. See, the right faith produces works which will be a labor of love. And faith produces endurance because faith produces hopes. And listen to me talk about it. Get this clear in your head today. Our faith tells us that our hope will not disappoint us. Romans chapter 5, verse 5. This is one of the rewards. God rewards our earnestness by filling us with assurance. Oh my. God assures us that he loves us and he accepts us. It's great, it's wonderful reward, isn't it? But but we also have to be able to find rest in those things. And when we have the blessed hope of our future inheritance, we can walk in peace and joy. In the King James Version, Hebrews chapter 11, verse 5, says it this way. He was commended as one who pleased God. It says he had this testimony that he pleased God. The testimony from whom? It could be of others, as he would have received commendation when they saw his life. But John Wesley and some of the other commentators suggest that the testimony came from God Himself. Enoch knew he pleased God because God told them so. Wow. And this goes with Romans chapter 8, verse 16. The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. These are the confirmations, talk about it, we need as we walk through life. We come under attack, things happen. Satan wants us to wonder if God is real and if he really cares. So we cry out to God, come on, to give us confirmation that he's real, that our faith is real, and that our hope is real. And Satan wants to mess with our rewards. He wants to steal our joy, peace, hope, and faith. He doesn't want us to live in that blessed assurance. Now, with that said, we got some people on the opposite end of the spectrum. They are not okay with God, but they think they are. They think they're pleasing God, but they're not. They're not living the way God wants them to live, but they think God is still pleased with them. They're not reading his word, they're not going to church, but they're still they think they're still tight with God. Sometimes they they're going to church. Sometimes they're reading the word. And they think by that alone that God is pleased with them. Well, meanwhile, they live the rest of their lives according to their own fleshly desires. Oh my. Their faith is in a God of their own design, a God that suits their own comforts. They're not earnestly seeking the God of heaven because they don't want to see him for who he really is. Because when they would, then they'd have to conclude that they're not living as God would want them to live. And they would be expected then to conform to live his way instead of their own way. I want you to listen to Romans chapter 8, verses 5 through 8. Are you ready? Come on. Those who live according to sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires. But those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind of simple man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace. The simple mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. Those controlled by the simple nature cannot please God. Listen to me. Talk about it. Are you ready? It is impossible to please God when I am living by my own rules. Oh, there we go. We listened to the whole podcast for that one statement. It is impossible to please God when I'm living by my own rules. But when I'm acting in accordance with my faith, when I'm laboring in law, when I'm keeping in step with the spirit, I will always please God. You know why? Because it takes faith. It takes faith. Oh my goodness. What has happened today? Enoch has taught us so much about what it means to walk with God. It takes faith. And we're discovering as we go through this, okay, what faith really is. I'm so glad that you're here. Thank you so much for being here today, for listening. And I hope that this has blessed you. If it has, do me a favor, like, share. If you haven't subscribed, rate the podcast, write, put it on your social media, ask your people, hey, listen to this. Maybe let's go to coffee and talk about what we heard on the Talk About It Podcast. Can you do that for me? It would be incredible. Pray about being a supporter. Help us preach the gospel in over 68 countries around the world with the Talk About It Podcast. You and me together, we're doing this, and I love you for it. But I need you to remember as much as I love you, Jesus loves you more. I'll see you next week.
