Joshua 2

A very small amount of faith can create very large and eternal things! The examples of the people crossing the Red Sea, defeating Jericho and the faith of Rahab are examined in this lesson from Hebrews chapter 11.

When a question of allegiance is presented to Rahab (security, her homeland, everything she knows and loves vs. a group of former slaves and current nomads), she chooses the less logical choice. Why? Because she trusts in the God of the Israelites who has already done the impossible for them. And with that, she gives us an example of how to live our lives when we are presented with how the world works vs. how the Kingdom of God works.

In our study of faith from Hebrews 11 we have looked at some of the heroes of faith: Noah, Abraham, and Moses.

In general, people call out to God only when they come to the end of the rope as it were. It is far better to seek the Lord when things are going good. That is why we read in Isaiah 55:6, “Seek the LORD while he may be found. Call on him while he is near.” (GW) This means that if we do not seek God when things are fine, there will come a time when things will be bad, and we will not be able to call on Him.

Never give up on God because... 1. He can break giant barriers down (vs. 30). 2. He can turn sinners into saints (vs. 31). 3. He can turn us into godly heroes (vs. 32-35a). 4. He gives us strength when we suffer (vs. 35b-38). 5. He promises us a perfect ending (vs. 39-40).
