Raising Deborahs & Defending the Word: Spiritual Warfare for the Last Days | KIB 501 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description In this Feast of Tabernacles episode of Kingdom Intelligence Briefing (KIB 501), Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake call the remnant to the Word and the War—urging believers to return to a physical Bible, cultivate a warfare worldview, and pray for strong women of faith to rise like Deborah and Esther (and for redeemed Rahabs and Tamars to step boldly into God's plan). We unpack why everything is spiritual warfare, how the Word of God births, cleanses, protects, heals, and equips, and why Psalm 22 stands as a stunning fulfilled prophecy of Messiah's crucifixion. Practical tools for marking your Bible, study tips, and a recommended read—God at War by Gregory Boyd—are included. What you'll get in this message How God uses flawed people and raises mighty women in this hour Why a physical Bible (with margins & proper highlighters) matters The warfare worldview from Moses to Paul—and what it means for daily discipleship Ten+ ways the Word transforms believers (life, cleansing, protection, healing, discernment, faith, renewal, equipping, fruitfulness, alignment with God's will) Psalm 22 as a precise, fulfilled prophecy of the crucifixion A call to pray over leaders, courts, and national issues with hope and perseverance Scriptures & themes referenced (not exhaustive): Judg 4–5 (Deborah), Esth 4–5 (Esther), Gen 38 (Tamar), Josh 2 (Rahab), Exod 15:1–3; Gen 1–3; Deut 32; Ps 1; Ps 22; Ps 107:20; Prov 4:20–22; Isa 55:11; John 6:63; 15:3; Rom 12:2; 10:17; Eph 6; 5:26; 2 Tim 3:16–17; Heb 4:12; Luke 8:11–15.

If you could rewrite your family story, what would you change? In Week 2 of Citizens of Heaven, Executive Pastor Moises Bejarano takes us through the surprising genealogy of Jesus in Matthew 1—filled with brokenness, scandal, outsiders, and redemption. From Tamar's shame to Rahab's redemption, Ruth's faith, and David's failure, we see that Jesus didn't comefrom a perfect family—He came FOR imperfect families like ours. If you've ever felt unworthy, unwanted, or too far gone, this message will remind you: Jesus isn't ashamed of your story—He came to redeem it.

We Risk Relationally Have you ever felt like your story disqualifies you from God's purpose? Or wondered if God still uses ordinary, overlooked people to do extraordinary things?  In this week's message from Joshua 2, we meet an unlikely hero: a Canaanite prostitute named Rahab. While the rest of the city builds walls of fear, Rahab opens a window of faith—and everything changes. At the same time, two unnamed spies risk their lives, not for conquest, but for connection. They don't blend in; they bring breakthrough. They don't judge Rahab's past; they respond to the faith rising in her heart.  This message explores the messy beauty of spiritual community, the courage to go where others won't, and how someone's breakthrough might begin with your hello.  Joshua 3:1-14 Discussion topics What is one thing that you heard, felt, or was challenged by in this past Sunday's sermon? Scripture Reflection (Joshua 2:1-14) a. What stands out to you about Rahab's faith and the spies' courage? b. The spies are un-named. Why do you think the Bible left them anonymous? How does that help us see ourselves in the story?  What's your “scarlet cord” — the public declaration of your faith? Is there a way this week to make your trust in Jesus more visible? Have you ever felt unseen, unqualified, or like an outsider in your spiritual journey? What helped you feel included or invited back in? Who is someone in your life that might be behind “emotional or spiritual walls” right now?

Rahab risked everything to follow God, trading fear for faith and choosing obedience over comfort. Her yes to God not only saved her family but wove her into the very lineage of Jesus—a once-outcast turned legacy-maker. Like Rahab, we don't have to see the full picture to say yes; we simply have to trust the One who calls us. This message invites us to take that same bold step of faith, knowing God can turn our obedience into something far greater than we could ever imagine!

The story about how the walls of Jericho came “a-tumblin' down” is a favorite. But it's also the target of a great deal of skepticism. Today, we're going to look briefly at three of the most frequently asked questions related to the battle of Jericho, and then we'll seek to apply the events of that day to our day.1.   Is Jericho a real historical site?Yes! In fact, Jericho is known as the oldest continually inhabited city on earth. Archeologists have uncovered artifacts that indicate a large city did exist in the late Bronze Age—the time of Joshua.2.  Is it possible that such complete destruction could actually occur?Yes! Jericho is located in the Jordan Rift—one of our planet's most seismically vulnerable places. In addition, it was built on sandy soil. Likely, an earthquake occurred, causing the walls of the city to collapse. Then the Israelite armies could enter the city through the breaches in the walls.Suggesting an earthquake could have brought down the walls doesn't negate the miracle. That it happened exactly when and how God said it would is the miracle!  3.  How can we reconcile God's order to kill all the city's inhabitants?This is a tough question, but that difficulty is eased some when one considers the sociological history of that region at that time.Historians have verified that Jericho's Canaanitish culture was unquestionably as perverse and corrupt as any in the history of our planet. Among other perversions, hideous forms of child abuse were rampant.In light of this, if the living God, as Great Physician, determines in the interest of the larger body of the human race to perform radical surgery, to eradicate the cancer of a culture so corrupt that it can only corrupt and destroy others, then are not His actions indeed loving and just?  They had ample time to repent. Rahab did and was saved! But they refused, and judgment fell.HIS CITY—YOUR CITY—OUR CITYWith that groundwork, let's consider Joshua's city (Jericho), your personal city, and our city—the place we live. When God gave Joshua instructions for taking Jericho, He commanded them to use trumpets, not drums, like armies typically would. Drums are a function of hands. Trumpets are a function of breath—ruach—spirit. Breath that offers praise.The Lord was underscoring to His people that the impossible walls they were facing would not come down through human effort, but through divine power that flowed out of obedience and praise. So, for six days, they walked around the city, following God's strategy for city-taking. They walked in unity. They walked and worshiped. Then, when told to, they shouted. And the walls fell.  Just as worship played a role in overcoming Joshua's city, it is powerful in facing the walls in our lives.Worship is not only glorifying to God, but it is debilitating to the forces of evil.  We all have walls, things that defy forward movement. Those walls could be blockaded relationships, crippling emotional issues, painful physical maladies, unbreakable habits, or chronic financial challenges. Could it be that the strategy for your city-taking is the same as it was for Joshua?  That God is calling you to walk in faith, praising Him even before you see the walls come down?  What about in our city, the place we live? How do we begin to see the walls come down so God's Kingdom can break through?What if we borrowed Joshua's strategy for our city? Walk your neighborhoods and worship. Walk and pray—for schools, for neighbors, for streets. Who knows what might happen if we did? Text: Joshua 6Originally recorded on September 18, 2016, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== LECCIÓN DE ESCUELA SABÁTICA         IV TRIMESTRE DEL 2025Narrado por: Eddie RodriguezDesde: Guatemala, GuatemalaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchLUNES 06 DE OCTUBREVALOR EN LUGARES INESPERADOS Lee Josué 2:2-11; Hebreos 11:31 y Santiago 2:25. ¿Qué nos dicen estos textos acerca de Rahab? Un aspecto central de la historia de Rahab es la mentira que dijo para proteger a los espías. Al considerar ese engaño debemos tener presente que ella estaba inmersa en una sociedad extremadamente pecaminosa, lo que finalmente desembocó en el juicio de Dios (Gén. 15:16; Lev. 18:25-28; Deut. 9:5). Si bien es cierto que el Nuevo Testamento elogia la fe de ella, un análisis cuidadoso de las referencias del Nuevo Testamento al accionar de Rahab revela que el registro bíblico no avala todo lo que hizo en esa ocasión ni aprueba la mentira que dijo. Hebreos 11:31 confirma la fe demostrada por Rahab al ayudar a los espías en lugar de elegir aferrarse a la corrupta cultura en la que estaba. Santiago 2:25 elogia su ofrecimiento de alojamiento a los dos israelitas y su indicación de cómo regresar por una ruta segura. En medio de una cultura decadente y corrupta, y del propio estilo de vida pecaminoso de Rahab, Dios, en virtud de su gracia, vio una chispa de fe a través de la cual podía salvarla. Dios utilizó lo que había de bueno en Rahab, su fe en él y su decisión de pertenecer a su pueblo, pero nunca elogió todo lo que ella hizo. Dios valoró a Rahab por su valentía excepcional, por su fe, por ser agente de salvación y por elegir al Dios de Israel. Al ver lo que estaba sucediendo, ella declaró: “Porque el Señor su Dios es Dios arriba en el cielo y abajo en la tierra” (Jos. 2:11). Es significativo que una mujer cananea reconociera que el Señor era el único Dios, sobre todo en la azotea de su casa, donde los paganos acostumbraban ofrecer plegarias a sus presuntas deidades celestiales. La expresión utilizada por Rahab solo aparece anteriormente en la Biblia en el contexto del derecho exclusivo de Dios a recibir culto (Éxo. 20:4; Deut. 4:39; 5:8). Sus palabras daban testimonio de su decisión meditada y consciente de reconocer que el Dios de los israelitas era la única deidad verdadera. Su confesión demostraba que comprendía la estrecha relación existente entre la soberanía de Dios y el juicio al que Jericó estaba condenada. La decisión moral que tomó significaba que reconocía que, a la luz del juicio de Dios, solo había dos opciones: continuar en rebelión contra él y ser aniquilada, o aceptar por fe la misericordia divina. Al elegir al Dios de los israelitas, Rahab se convirtió en un ejemplo de lo que pudo haber sido el destino de todos los habitantes de Jericó si hubieran aceptado la misericordia del Dios de Israel. ¿Qué nos enseña esta historia acerca de la lealtad total que debemos a Dios? 

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchLUNES, 06 DE OCTUBREVALOR EN LUGARES INESPERADOSCristo era el dirigente de los hijos de Israel en sus peregrinaciones por el desierto. Él los dirigió y guio rodeados por la columna de nubes de día y la columna de fuego de noche. Los preservó de los peligros del desierto, los llevó a la tierra prometida, y a la vista de todas las naciones que no reconocían a Dios, estableció a Israel como su posesión escogida, la viña del Señor. A este pueblo le fueron confiados los oráculos de Dios. Se lo rodeó con el vallado de los preceptos de su ley, los principios eternos de verdad, justicia y pureza. La obediencia a esos principios había de ser su protección, pues los salvaría de la destrucción propia por las prácticas pecaminosas. Y, como la torre en la viña, Dios colocó en medio de la tierra su santo templo. Cristo era su instructor. Así como había estado con ellos en el desierto, había de continuar siendo su maestro y guía. En el tabernáculo y en el templo su gloria moraba en la santa shekinah encima del propiciatorio. En favor de ellos, manifestó constantemente las riquezas de su amor y paciencia. Dios quería hacer de su pueblo Israel una alabanza y una gloria.  Se dio a ellos toda ventaja espiritual. Dios no les negó nada favorable a la formación del carácter que había de hacerlos sus representantes...  Por su desobediencia a Dios, Adán y Eva habían perdido el Edén, y debido a su pecado toda la tierra quedó maldita. Pero si el pueblo de Dios seguía su instrucción, su tierra había de ser restaurada a la fertilidad y la belleza. Dios mismo les dio instrucciones en cuanto a la forma de cultivar el suelo, y ellos habían de cooperar con él en su restauración. De modo que toda la tierra, bajo el dominio de Dios, llegaría a ser una lección objetiva de verdad espiritual. Así como en obediencia a las leyes naturales de Dios, la tierra había de producir sus tesoros, así en obediencia a sus leyes morales el corazón de la gente había de reflejar los atributos del carácter de Dios. Aun los paganos reconocerían la superioridad de los que servían y adoraban al Dios viviente... Los hijos de Israel habían de ocupar todo el territorio que Dios les había señalado. Habían de ser desposeídas las naciones que rechazaran el culto y el servicio al verdadero Dios. Pero el propósito de Dios era que por la revelación de su carácter mediante Israel, los hombres fueran atraídos a él. A todo el mundo se le dio la invitación del Evangelio. Por medio de la enseñanza del sistema de sacrificios, Cristo había de ser levantado delante de las naciones, y habían de vivir todos los que lo miraran. Todos los que, como Rahab la cananea, y Rut la moabita, se volvieran de la idolatría al culto del verdadero Dios, habían de unirse con el pueblo escogido. A medida que aumentara el número de los israelitas, estos habían de ensanchar sus fronteras, hasta que su reino abarcara el mundo. Dios deseaba colocar todas las naciones bajo su gobierno misericordioso. Deseaba que la tierra se llenara de gozo y paz. Creó al hombre para la felicidad, y anhela llenar el corazón humano con la paz del cielo. Desea que las familias terrenales sean un símbolo de la gran familia celestial (Palabras de vida del gran Maestro, pp. 230-233). 

  How do you describe what a REPUTATION is and the tremendous effect it can have on people’s attitudes or even choices. A bad reputation keeps people away and a good reputation invites people to trust, right? That applies in almost EVERY aspect of life.  Even God has a reputation, did you know that? So, what would you say God’s reputation is with your family or your city? One of the very interesting threads woven through the “Grand Narrative” story of history is the reputation of God. Joshua was facing it regularly as he and the Israelites moved into the Land of God’s Promise. Remember what Rahab had told the scouts Joshua sent in to check out Jericho? “We have heard how the LORD dried up the Red Sea for you…for the LORD your God is God in heaven and on earth below” (Joshua 2:8-11) (Click here to see full text, images and links)    Pastor Doug Anderson    “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, with our eyes fixed on Jesus…” (Heb. 12:1,2)Have a comment or question about today's chapter? I'm ready to hear from you, contact me here.

Send us a textJames 2:8–26[8] If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well. [9] But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. [10] For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it. [11] For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. [12] So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty. [13] For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.Faith Without Works Is Dead[14] What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? [15] If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, [16] and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? [17] So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.[18] But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. [19] You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder! [20] Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? [21] Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? [22] You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; [23] and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a friend of God. [24] You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. [25] And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? [26] For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead. (ESV)#apostolic #apostolicbiblestudytime #CACI#James #biblestudy

Yo sé que el SEÑOR su Dios es Dios arriba en el cielo, y abajo en la tierra" (Josué 2:11).La historia de Rahab en la Biblia es un testimonio inspirador de cómo la fe y la confianza en Dios pueden cambiar nuestro destino, sin importar nuestras circunstancias.Rahab era una mujer que vivía en Jericó, una ciudad que estaba a punto de ser conquistada por el pueblo de Israel bajo el liderazgo de Josué. Cuando dos espías israelitas llegaron a Jericó, Rahab los escondió y les proporcionó información vital sobre la ciudad y sus habitantes. Lo más sorprendente es que Rahab reconoció al Dios de Israel como el Dios soberano en el cielo y en la tierra.A pesar del temor que todos en Jericó sentían por la llegada de Israel, Rahab creyó en el poder de Dios y tomó medidas para proteger a los espías. Su fe y valentía la llevaron a la salvación y a la oportunidad de un nuevo comienzo.Esta historia nos ofrece una lección valiosa sobre la importancia de la fe y la confianza en Dios. En la adolescencia, a menudo enfrentamos desafíos y momentos de incertidumbre. Rahab, a pesar de vivir en una ciudad condenada, creyó en el Dios de Israel y actuó en consecuencia. Su fe la salvó y la llevó a una vida nueva. Esta historia nos recuerda que, sin importar lo que hayamos enfrentado en el pasado o las dificultades actuales, podemos encontrar esperanza y salvación al confiar en Dios, quien es soberano en el cielo y en la tierra.Rahab nos anima a confiar en el poder de Dios, pase lo que pase, aunque nosotros no veamos una salida. Sigamos el ejemplo de Rahab al reconocer que Dios es soberano en el cielo y en la tierra y confiar en su poder para guiarnos y salvarnos.Oración: Querido Dios, ayúdame a confiar en tu poder y a reconocer que eres el Soberano en el cielo y en la tierra. 

Faith that Wins (Rahab) | HEBREWS

How do you maintain perspective when you're in the thick of hard times? Sometimes, when you're so focused on what's going wrong ahead of you, it's hard to look up and see the bigger picture that God is working. The story of Rahab in Joshua 2 teaches us that, in these moments, you should look up, take the next right step, and invite transformation from God. It's not your job to carry everything; just set your gaze on Him. MESSAGE NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49498787RESOURCES: https://www.canyonridge.orgBLOG: https://canyonridge.org/blogs/

“And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the Lord: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent” (Joshua 6:17).

God has already gone ahead of you.Through the story of Rahab in Joshua 2, we're reminded that nothing can stop His plan, no past is too broken for His grace, and anyone can step into His story.No one is powerful enough to stop God's plan.No one is broken enough to ruin God's plan.Anyone can be fortunate enough to join God's plan.The invitation is clear: Open your eyes. Open your heart. Open your hands.

The faith of Rahab- The harlot Rahab and her family were saved from the destruction of Jericho because she put her faith and trust in the God of Israel. Rahab's story of faith shows us that no sinner is beyond God's grace and love.

God upsets the familiar things in our lives when He shifts us toward His Divine Plan. This study discusses Rahab as a savvy woman who was far more than a prostitute.

We explore the powerful story of Jericho's fall in Joshua 6, uncovering surprising insights about faith, silence, and God's redemptive work that often get overlooked in this familiar biblical narrative.• Understanding Jericho's true scale – a city of only 6-7 acres that would take about 15 minutes to walk around• God's approach to victory involves both His sovereignty (100%) and our obedience (100%)• The unusual "parade" formation before battle demonstrates worshipping before seeing results• Silence as the unsung hero of the story – Joshua commands complete silence for seven days• The psychological warfare of trumpets blowing each morning like an alarm that couldn't be silenced• Rahab's story as a model of God's mercy – one section of wall left standing amid total destruction• The walls we build to protect ourselves often become the prisons that hold us captive• God always preserves a pathway to redemption for those who trust HimDon't leave with walls built around you. Let them fall today, even now. Go and talk to the Lord before we stand and worship one who deserves so much more than our silence, even though we'll give him both.

She wasn't anyone's first pick for a hero, but God had other ideas. She showed a courageous faith that changed her life—and history—forever.Her name was Rahab, a disreputable woman from the pagan Canaanite city of Jericho. The word the Bible uses to describe her is zonah: prostitute, harlot. There's no way to sanitize it.Yet Rahab had come to a point of faith in Israel's God, Yahweh. She had heard the stories of the miraculous ways God had given victory to His people, so when she heard that the Israelite army was breathing down Jericho's neck, her faith moved her to act with courage.Israel's commander, Joshua, had sent two spies into the city of Jericho. When the king of Jericho heard about the two strangers who had entered the city and that they had gone to the hostel run by Rahab, he sent a message commanding her to turn the spies over to him. But Rahab hid the spies and sent a message back to the king, saying that the men had already left. Once the pursuers left Jericho, the gates to the city were closed. Rahab went to the spies where they were hiding and begged for her life. “Please swear to me that you will spare my life and the lives of my family when you attack the city.”The men agreed, with one caveat. She must gather her family into her house and hang a scarlet cord from the window to identify her house. Rahab then let the men down by a rope through the window, for her house was built into the city wall, and they safely returned to the Israelite camp.When the time came for the battle of Jericho, there on the city wall was a scarlet cord hanging from the window. Rahab and her family were spared, and Rahab lived among the Israelites for the rest of her life.Rahab's story teaches us some wonderful lessons.1.     Though God's righteousness demands that evil must be judged, His love demands that He looks to offer mercy. 2 Peter 3:9 says, “God does not want anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” 2.     God is looking for any who might be seeking Him and will pull out all the stops to make their salvation possible.Could it be that God had Joshua send those spies, just for Rahab?God is ready, willing, and able to reach out to those who are seeking Him. He is using creation, conscience, and Christ to prompt them by His Spirit. But…3.     God uses His people to help spiritual seekers take the necessary next steps. At the top of this message, I mentioned that Rahab's courageous faith changed history. In the first chapter of Matthew, we find the genealogy of Joseph, husband of Mary. Believe it or not, Rahab was the great-grandmother of King David. Not only that, the shady lady of Jericho is listed in the ancestral line of Jesus, the Messiah. Text: Joshua 2, 6 Originally recorded on August 21, 2016, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN 

“And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the Lord: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent” (Joshua 6:17).

As the Israelites get ready to cross the Jordan, two spies encounter a lady in Jericho named Rahab. By external appearances, she is an unlikely to be much value. But God had a different story in mind. This outsider becomes a central figure in the lineage of Jesus. From Joshua 2.

Title: The Explosive Power of This Two Word PhraseSpeaker: Rob BerrethScripture: Hebrews 11:17-40Episode Overview:In this episode, we continue through Hebrews 11 and explore the explosive power of two simple words: by faith. From Abraham's trust in God when asked to sacrifice Isaac, to Moses choosing reproach over riches, to saints who endured trials and persecution—their lives remind us that ordinary people with faith in an extraordinary God become unstoppable. Hebrews 11 calls us to trust when we cannot see, to hope when circumstances seem bleak, to take courage when culture resists, and to live with an eternal perspective that reshapes how we see the present.Key Highlights:• Trust: Abraham, Israel at the Red Sea, and Jericho's walls—faith begins with trust in God's promises.• Hope: The patriarchs looked beyond their lives to God's certain future.• Courage: Faith emboldened Moses' parents, Rahab, and countless others to risk everything.• Perspective: Moses and Rahab valued eternal treasure over temporary gain.• Faith's Power: By faith, God's people changed the world and their inner world, becoming those “of whom the world was not worthy.”• Something Better: We live in the fullness of Christ, the “something better” they longed for.Call to Action:Where is God asking you to trust Him today? Hebrews 11 reminds us that faith is not reserved for spiritual giants but is available to ordinary believers who place their confidence in a faithful God. Take that next step of trust—whether in your family, your generosity, your calling, or your perseverance—believing that the God who was faithful then is faithful now.Redeemer Church211 Northshore Dr. Bellingham, WA 98226www.redeemernw.org

There is one God at the center of the entire Bible and in our passage this week He reveals the expanse of his grace. While we may know of God's redemption, a question that can bother us, is who is welcome to His grace; who does God invite to receive His love and salvation? Through this amazing story of a woman named Rahab, we'll see the answer is anyone who responds to Him with faith.

Living Hope, part 11. Rahab's dark past as a prostitute did not disqualify her from becoming a hero of faith, and all that God had in store for her. We, like her, have been washed, sanctified and justified by the grace of God. By Clive Cernik.

Facing Jericho's locked gates, Israel learns that God's ways aren't ours, and obedience is the path to victory. As the ark leads and the people walk by faith, the walls fall, Rahab is rescued, and we're reminded that judgment is real but mercy is offered to all who trust him. Whatever you're up against today, know that nothing is impossible with God.

This week on BTG, Pastor Nate preaches on the story of Rahab.  She could've continued living her life as a prostitute but God had different plans for her when she decided to step out by faith and trust His word.Support the show

Come As You Are Series: Rahab The ProstituteHebrews 11:31 “By faith the prostitute Rahab did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies in peace.”This series is to remind us that God wants us to come as we are. He doesn't expect us to wait until we have cleaned ourselves up or changed our habits before we go to Him. He wants us to come to Him as we are, and then He can help bring us to where He wants us to be. I love the quote, “God meets us where we are and He loves us too much to let us stay there.” We don't need to change before we go to God; we need God to help us change.Today, we are talking about Rehab the prostitute. You might wonder why we are talking about a prostitute. If you don't know Rahab's story, let me summarize it for you. God told the Israelites that He would give them Jericho as their promised land. Joshua sent two spies to check out that land. The Bible says, “So they went and entered the house of a prostitute whose name was Rahab, and rested there.” (Joshua 2:1) Why would these holy men go to rest at the prostitute's house? Could it be because she was an outcast, and so there wouldn't be a bunch of people at her house? Is it because she is used to hiding men in her house? We don't know exactly, as it doesn't say why they went there, just that they did go there.I heard Steven Furtick of Elevation church talking about this, and he said something that I thought was really good. He said sometimes God will use what you think is a weakness as part of His plan. Joshua's men chose to stay with Rehab, maybe for the very reason she would have thought God couldn't use her. I know if I were a prostitute, I would have counted myself out by being used by God. I would have thought that my sins were too great for God to have used me in any way. However, God used Rehab to hide these two men who went to check out the land for Joshua.These men stayed with Rahab, and then the king found out there were spies in his land, and he told Rahab to turn them over. Luckily, she had already hidden them, again, something her job would have taught her to do, and so she said that they had stopped by, but they left before the gates closed for the night. Rehab knew that God had sent these two guys and that He had planned to give Jericho to His people. She helped them so that they would spare her life when they came in to take the land. These men agreed to spare her and her family as long as they were inside her house with her. They gave her a scarlet cord to put in her window so they could tell all the troops to stay out of her home.Rahab used her talents to hide these men and, therefore, gained safety for her whole family. I bet her parents never saw that coming. I bet they never expected the skills she had learned because of her profession would wind up saving their lives someday. God's ways are a mystery to us. We don't understand His plan, and yet, with His plan, He shows us time and again that He is not choosing the perfect people to carry it out. He does not choose who we would have chosen.We talked about Tamar and how she dressed like a harlot to seduce her father-in-law to sleep with her so that she could have a baby. We discussed how, out of all the lineages of Jesus listed in the Gospels, Tamar, even after tricking and sleeping with her father-in-law, is only one of five women mentioned in the lineage of Jesus. Now we have Rehab, who is a prostitute, and she is another one of the five women listed in the lineage of Jesus. It says in Matthew 1:5, “Salmon fathered Boaz by Rahab, Boaz fathered Obed by Ruth, and Obed fathered Jesse.”In Jewish culture, when listing someone's lineage, it is customary to include the father's name. However, in the case of Jesus, it is mostly just the father's listed. However, there are five of the mothers listed. Just five in all those years. Matthew 1:17 says, “ So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the deportation to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the deportation to Babylon to the [o]Messiah, fourteen generations.” There are 42 generations from Abraham to the Messiah listed in the Gospel of Matthew, and of those 42 generations, He only mentions 5 of the mothers. Those five women must have been pretty special for God to use them to help bring forth the Messiah.Did they feel special? Did they feel abandoned? With Tamar, we know she lost her husband and was promised that his brother would be given to her when he was of age, but he wasn't. Her father-in-law betrayed her, and so she took what she felt was hers. I doubt she felt special taking it, though. I suspect she didn't feel holy enough for the Lord to use her in an incredible way like He did. With Rehab, we don't know her story. We don't understand why she became a prostitute. We don't know any back story that would provide us insight into her career choice. However, I am willing to believe she didn't feel special. I am sure she was an outcast because of her profession. The women in town probably hated her, as some of their husbands probably went to see her.Why did God choose these women to help bring about His plan to save us with Jesus? Why are these women listed in the lineage when others are not? I believe it is because God wants to show us that you don't have to be perfect to be used by God. You don't have to be doing all the right things. You don't have to get it right all the time. Life is hard, and God knows that. He understands if we get lost and follow the wrong path in life. He is not condemning us or holding it against us. He is just patiently waiting for us to come back to Him.We mustn't count ourselves out. God can use us, no matter what we have done in the past. God will love us, no matter what we have done in the past or what we are doing now. He still loves us more than anything. Rehab was a prostitute, and yet her name made it into the lineage of Jesus. She is also mentioned two other times in the New Testament. One of those is the verse above. “By faith the prostitute Rahab did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies in peace.” Rahab was not one of the chosen people of the time. She didn't see God part the Red Sea so she could walk through. She didn't see the manna sent from God every day to feed his people.She didn't see any of these miracles, but she did hear about them. She heard about them, and she believed them so much that she was willing to risk her life to hide the men of God so that they might spare her and her family's lives when they came back to conquer the land. Her faith in a God she didn't know was so great that she was willing to risk it all. There are many lessons we can learn from Rahab. One is that we don't need to be afraid to take risks when God is involved. Second is that God can use anyone for His plan. Third is that God may want to use that very thing that you feel is your greatest weakness, that very thing that fills you with so much shame. God can turn that shame into something you can be proud of if you let Him. Don't shut God out because you don't feel worthy. Ask Him to come into the messiness and allow Him to love you right where you are!Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode. Lord, we love you, and we ask you to help us know that you love us, too. Help us to believe that just as you did for Rahab, you can redeem us too. You can use us even though we are not perfect and we have made a lot of mistakes. Please help us to believe that we are exactly the type of person you could us to help bring your kingdom to earth. We ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus's holy name, Amen!!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.

“Faith” is one of those nice words you might see stitched into a pillow or on the class roll at a Christian school. We might think it has something to do with believing God or having nice thoughts. But what if we told you faith isn't just reading the Bible and going “Nice! Thumbs up!“, but really comes down to believing something enough to move. This week, Alli Patterson shows why out of the whole city of Jericho, God chose Rahab the prostitute to be His servant. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Real faith doesn't stop in your head or heart—it shows up in your hands. In “James: Faith That Works (James 2),” Pastor Peter unpacks why the church must reject favoritism, how mercy triumphs over judgment, and how Abraham and Rahab prove that genuine faith acts. If you're ready to move from belief to obedience, this message is for you.

Faith opens doors that no one else can open, removes obstacles by force, activates the promises of God, and shuts the enemy's mouth! In this powerful message, we look at the story of Rahab—once filthy with sin, but full of faith—and how God used her to show us that faith is our way out. If you feel stuck in your past, trapped by cycles, or silenced by the enemy, this word will remind you that faith is your key to freedom.
