"Rehab For Rahab" Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Apr 11, 2016

All of us have a past. Rahab certainly did. God used Rahab regardless of her past and wants to do the same with us. The Promised Land if for everyone!

“Rahab’s Rehab” Joshua 2 Let’s begin this morning with the definition of the word past….. Here it is: “having existed in a time before the present. Used in an earlier time. Done. Gone by. Elapsed in time.” Many people struggle all of their lives to ...read more

Rahab And The Spies Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jan 17, 2016

There was a time when we were like Rahab. We were outside of the family of God, living in the blindness and corruption of sin, till God instilled faith in us. Like Rahab, we are invited just as we are. God will take us and transform us.

This is a story of grace... The last time spies were sent to do a covert reconnaissance of the Promised Land, there were twelve, sent by Moses, and only two of them, Caleb and Joshua, had faith to believe God would grant Israel victory. Perhaps symbolically, Joshua sent two men to glean ...read more

The story of Rahab gives hope to all the sinners of the world that they too can become children of God by faith in the Christ who will cast none out who come to Him in faith.

Women do not have fight to play a major role in war. The gentle schemes of women are often able to do what bombs and bullets cannot do. Mary Murray is a great example from the Revolutionary War.

God Upholds His End (Joshua 2:1-24) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 6, 2021

Here, we see God fulfilling his promise to be with Joshua. Things "work out" for the spies, when they should've died.

Last week, by the end of chapter 1, we had a pretty good feel for the questions we are supposed to bring to the book of Joshua as we read. Yahweh, Joshua, and Israel are going to work together to conquer the land of Canaan. All three-- Yahweh, Joshua, and Israel-- have pledged their commitment ...read more

What should you do when the Lord calls you to a task that will involve working with a hostile group of people? You must pray for the Lord the lead you to a key individual who is already on the inside of the group you are trying to reach.

Ministry is all about people, and when the Lord lays a calling on your heart it will involve or effect people in some way or another, because it is human beings whom God came to save through Jesus Christ. So, what are you supposed to do when the Lord calls you to a task that will involve working ...read more

The Power Of Unity

Contributed by Mike Hullah on Mar 24, 2018

Unity we hear about, we talk about it, but without it we will never achieve by ourselves what can be achieved through it. It takes unity to possess our inheritance. This sermon looks at important principles in possessing our promises.

The Book Of Joshua 2 Of 9

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 26, 2022

The Book of Joshua teaches us many valuable lessons. One of the lessons we learn in the book of Joshua is that God is a GOD OF GRACE.

When I say God is a God of Grace, I am saying that God does what He does for us, not because of our goodness, but because of His goodness! Illus: When we think about the God of Grace, we think of the man who owned the city's newspaper who had 3 sons. He offered ownership of the paper to the ...read more

Rahab: Remember The Name Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 30, 2022

Read Hebrews chapter 11 hall of faith. Where is Joshua? Where is Caleb? They did not make the hall of faith list. Rahab the harlot did. She is a great Old Testament hero of the faith.

Rahab is a harlot, a prostitute. In the footnote of my Bible it says that she is possibly the innkeeper. No, that is not a possible interpretation, and I will mention why a little later. When we come to the book of Joshua we come to a new era for the people of Israel with a new leader: Joshua. ...read more

Grace In Strange Places

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Feb 17, 2023

God's grace and protection are often in places we really do not want to go and through people we disdain.
