With God: In History - Rahab [15]

Author: Christ Community, an Evangelical Free Church April 12, 2026 Duration: 35:26

Josh 2 // Paul Brandes

In this sermon, we walk through the narrative of Joshua 2, where two spies are sent to scout out the city of Jericho. Rather than finding a typical military stronghold, they find an ally in Rahab, a woman whose recognition of the power of the God of Israel leads her to risk everything. We break down the significance of the crimson cord, the oath of protection, and the report the spies brought back to Joshua. This study highlights how God works through ordinary people and complex situations to fulfill his promises, proving that his plan is moving forward even when the obstacles seem insurmountable.
