Righteous Rahab

Dec 7, 2025    Pastor Joel Denney

Pastor Joel explores the story of Rahab from Joshua chapter 2, presenting her as an unlikely recipient of God's grace and a picture of salvation for the Gentiles. He emphasizes how God specializes in redeeming the most unlikely people—in this case, a Gentile prostitute—and grafting them into His covenant people through faith. The scarlet cord that saved Rahab and her family foreshadows the blood of Christ that saves believers from judgment. Just as Joshua led Israel in conquest while simultaneously providing salvation for those who believed, Jesus is both the just judge and the justifier of those who have faith. Pastor Joel challenges believers to remember their own unlikely salvation and to extend grace to outsiders who may not look, speak, or act like them, recognizing that God's mission is to call sinners to repentance regardless of their background or appearance.
