In this week’s message in the Hero series, we talked about a woman named Rahab. Although she was a harlot, get this; she ended up in God’s “Hall of Faith!”
Rahab and all of Jericho had been hearing about the God of Israel. So when faced with a decision to hide the Israelite spies or to expose them to the king’s guards, she covered for them and sent the guards on a wild goose chase.
In exchange for this act of kindness, the spies agreed to save Rahab and her family. She had to take the men of God at their word. Think about it. All she had were the words from men she never met before, who served a God she didn’t know! Talk about Faith!
Rahab was an unbeliever. She didn’t even know God like you and I do, yet she chose to believe the words of those men. We can be like Rahab and believe Gods word too.
People may have judged Rahab for her moral failure, but God judged her for her faith. Rahab is an example of an everyday person who trusted God. She was a true biblical HERO.
I want to encourage you today to make the decision to believe what God says about you in His word. We are believers, we have the seed of God on the inside of us (1 John 3:9) – We are God’s Heroes!
Don’t miss this Wednesday as we hear from my mom, Pastor Sarah Marie and Pastor Dan as they will be tag teaming to bring a powerful word from God.
Life Christian Church joins “The Call.”
On November 11–12, 2011, Life Christian Church will join thousands from across America will gather to Ford Field (Home of the Detroit Lions) to fast, pray and cry out to God. We will gather to the heart of our area, downtown Detroit, which has become so symbolic of our national crisis—economic collapse, racial tension, the rising tide of the Islamic movement, and the shedding of innocent blood of our children in the streets and of our unborn.
But the place where they say there is no hope, God has chosen as His staging ground for a great communal healing and His house of prayer for all nations.
Life Christian will join multiple thousands from around the nation in a 24-hour solemn assembly, daring to believe that Detroit’s desperation can produce a movement that can change a nation.
This movement brings many generations together to believe God for revival in the land- let’s stand in faith in unity at Ford Field on November 11th & 12th.

After my kids and I had dinner together before church, I looked down and noticed these spots on my hand. They were bumpy and there were several of them and they looked so gross. I thought I had touched something I was allergic to or something.
My sons laid hands on me in the car, but they were still there. They were only on the right hand. I walked into service at the end of praise and worship and just entered into the presence of God.
Pastor Tracy had a word of knowledge about someone who had spots, she saw several brown spots. I knew that was me and God had healed me. I looked at my hand and the spots were all gone!
Jesus is very much alive and still healing today. The prophet Isaiah wrote “But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5
