The Bible is filled with amazing stories that go back to the beginning of time! In the real life, historical stories of the Old Testament, we can see the way God takes lives filled with small successes and great failures, and turns them into epic tales of his own design.
We can also see that all of our stories, and all the stories that make up our communities, are no less a part of God’s story than any other. We can examine our own stories and look for God’s redemptive thread being pulled through and connecting each of them. We’ll hear individual testimonies every week, and we’ll get together to share our own stories in our Missional Community Groups.
We can celebrate all of our stories – not because we see our own greatness in them, but because through them we see the glory of a God who makes beautiful things out of us.
Everyone has a story to tell. What's yours?
This sermon teaches that Rahab's story is a powerful testament to God's faithfulness and His plan to include all nations, regardless of their past. Her life demonstrates that salvation is by faith alone, a faith that is evidenced in action and ultimately points to Jesus as the one who redeems us by His grace.
