Everything in life requires an element of faith. From bungy jumping off a bridge to driving to work. It is either a lot or a little, but never absent. If we are going to thrive as God’s people, faith in an ever-increasing measure is essential. How do we increase our faith? What is the catalyst to greater faith? Knowing God. This week we get to know Rahab, an unlikely hero, an outsider to God’s people yet one who holds a position of great honor because of her emerging faith in God. Take some time to read through Joshua 2 and be prepared to meet a great woman!
And as soon as we heard it, our hearts melted, and there was no spirit left in any man because of you, for the Lord your God, he is God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath. Now then, please swear to me by the Lord that, as I have dealt kindly with you, you also will deal kindly with my father’s house, and give me a sure sign that you will save alive my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all who belong to them, and deliver our lives from death. (Joshua 2:11-13 ESV)

Catalyst of Faith Is a good Bible Teaching message. Your pa pa bill is proud of your teaching.
A little more back ground from a old GI, a prostitute contacts a lot of men so the spy’s new who could tell them what the people think so it is the first place to go for information. It is a trade used by many spies in history. They got caught but Rahab saved them from death. Her faith in God saved her & her family. (After you work-up your Sermon look up Dr McGee, he always make things simple to understand.)
