Message Notes

Bible Heroes #2
Rahab - Faithfully Yours

8 Before the spies lay down for the night, she went up on the roof 9 and said to them, "I know that the LORD has given you this land and that a great fear of you has fallen on us, so that all who live in this country are melting in fear because of you. 10 We have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea[a] for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amorites east of the Jordan, whom you completely destroyed. 11 When we heard of it, our hearts melted in fear and everyone's courage failed because of you, for the LORD your God is God in heaven above and on the earth below. 12 "Now then, please swear to me by the LORD that you will show kindness to my family, because I have shown kindness to you. Give me a sure sign 13 that you will spare the lives of my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all who belong to them-and that you will save us from death." 14 "Our lives for your lives!" the men assured her. "If you don't tell what we are doing, we will treat you kindly and faithfully when the LORD gives us the land." Joshua 2:8-14

Rahab was unfaithful to men

Rahab could be called a traitor
When we heard of it, our hearts melted in fear and everyone's courage failed because of you, for the LORD your God is God in heaven above and on the earth below. Joshua 2:11

Rahab was faithful towards the Israelite spies
"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12).

Rahab is honored by God and included in Jesus' family tree

This Week the message is Bible Heroes #2: Rahab - Faithfully Yours. Bill Aumack will share the message about the unlikely hero who is remembered as a person of faith.

Next Week the message is Bible Heroes #3: Noah - Against the Grain. This Sabbath's message is about Noah as he was able to resist the ridicule from others and still be faithful to what the Lord was asking him to do. The truth is that people would rather defend their faith with their life rather than be mocked because of it.

Remember our Church Budget. We are just barely pulling out of a negative balance. We appreciate your faithfulness.

The Memorial Service for Ava Meade will be tomorrow at 4pm at the Downey Adventist Church.

Parking Lot Party is coming Saturday Aug. 27th, right here in our parking lot. Make sure to save the date and bring a few friends.

Abundant Giving is for Bicycle Ambulances to help people in rural areas get to medical help.

The flowers today are from Bill and Linda for their Anniversary.
