SERMONS ON RAHAB
Our sermon ideas on Rahab will help you preach a powerful message. If people know the name of Rahab, I would imagine the majority of them would think of Rahab the prostitute only. Not Rahab in the lineage of Jesus. Not Rahab mother-in-law of Ruth. Not Rahab the great-great grandmother of David. There is so much to preach on Rahab that can draw people to the glories of Christ. Prepare your messages on Rahab with sermon outlines or an entire sermon series.

Rahab
by Charles H. Spurgeon
By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies in peace. Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? (James 2:25). These are two New Testament summaries of the life of Rahab, and they are equally honorable to her. Paul puts her among the great worthies who by faith wrought wonders. The eleventh chapter of the Hebrews is a triumphal arch to the soldiers of faith, and among the illustrious names inscribed thereon is the name of this harlot of Jericho. We are not, however, so much surprised at that, for she was evidently an instance of great faith. But we are...
Rahab's Faith
by William Wyne
Soren Kierkegaard was a brilliant philosopher and Christian theologian/thinker who challenged the church at a very deep level of thought when it came to action and authentication as the church being the church of Christ. In one of his memorable instances, he told a parable about Duck Land. It was Sunday morning, and all the ducks dutifully came to church, waddling through the doors and down the aisle into the pews where they comfortably squatted on their pews. When all were well-settled, and the ducks hymns were sung, and the duck prayers were prayed, and the duck offering was received, the minister...
Rahab and the Israelite Spies
by Tony Nester
Today we move into the Book of Joshua as we continue this series on the key stories of the Bible. The Book of Joshua tells the story of how the Israelites finally enter the Promised Land after their 40 year journey in the wilderness. Moses has died, and it is now time for a new leader to take command. This new leader is Joshua. The Book opens with God's stirring call to Joshua: (Joshua 1:2-6 NRSV) ""My servant Moses is dead. Now proceed to cross the Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the Israelites. {3} Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, as I promised to Moses...
Rahab – A Saving Faith (10 of 10)
by Brad Whitt
INTRO: I want you to take God's Word this morning and be finding your place one last time at Hebrews chapter 11 if you would. This morning we will be concluding our series of messages on the mighty men and wonderful women that are listed for us here in heaven's hall of faith. You know, my prayer has been, all throughout this series that you wouldn't just learn about faith, but that you would truly begin to walk by faith as you have watched and learned from people just like you and me. I said it at the beginning of this series, and I'll say it again here at the end. A lot of times we get the impression that the people that we read about in the...
Rahab Initiated Change (6 of 7)
by Tony Thomas
I was moving furniture and cleaning my office this past week when I found a letter that Wayne Smith sent me twenty years ago. Wayne preached at Southland Christian Church in Lexington, KY for over forty years. The letter was from Jack Ballard, Wayne's best friend, and Jack preached at the Mt. Carmel Christian Church in Decatur, Georgia until he retired. Listen to the advice Ballard shared with his best friend who was struggling with change: Dear Wayne: The wave of change comes as relentlessly as the ocean's tide. You and I have seen and been a part of it for the past 50-plus years. Now, we're both old and adjusting to change is...
Rahab's Red Ribbon of Redemption (3 of 13)
by Brad Whitt
INTRO: Take your Bibles now this morning and be finding your place at Joshua chapter 2 as we continue in our series of studies through this amazing, challenging and inspiring Old Testament book that we've entitled, ''Victorious: Strong, Courageous Faith.'' ILLUS: There's something about women and ribbons - Laura Kate at the wedding taking out the ribbon from the wedding service order. In Joshua, chapter 2, we are introduced to a shady lady by the name of Rahab. She's a prostitute who lived in a pagan city called Jericho. For you history buffs, Jericho is the oldest city in all of the world. There's no other city...

Is There A Thread Of Evidence That You Have Faith (8 Of 9)
by Nelson Price
Jesus Christ had a skeleton in His closet. He was Immanuel, God with us. As such He "...being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men" (Philippians 2:6-7). Thus, He was God in human form. As with all of us the family tree of His earthly parents could be traced. Luke traces it through His mother and Matthew through Joseph, His earthly guardian. Matthew 1 is one of the most boring passages in the Bible. It is a list of "begats." In verse 5 appears the name of the infamous Rahab. Have you ever...
From The House Of Shame To The Hall Of Fame
by Adrian Rogers
Take your Bibles now and look if you will in Hebrews, chapter 11 verse 31 We're continuing our series in Hebrew chapter 11, God's Hall of FAME. And these people were placed in God's Hall of Fame not by feeling, not by fortune not by fighting, not by friends, but by faith. According to your faith be it unto you. And the Bible says here concerning a certain person, ''By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not when she had received the spies with peace.'' Here we have the story of the transformation of a harlot whose name was Rahab and, therefore, the title of our message is ''From the House of Shame to the Hall of...
Faith Is Firm and Not Fuzzy (22 of 29)
by Robert Dawson
Some ideas and concepts are hard to grasp. They are abstract. They are difficult to explain and hard to visualize. You can't package them into concise definitions. A catchy phrase does not capture the fullness of their meaning. For ideas like these we need some extra help. We need pictures. We need something we can visualize. 1. I have helped my brother do some work on Mom and Dad's house. He is very good at things like that and I am not. He'll start talking and trying to explain to me how the new deck or addition to the house is going to look or fit and then he waits to see if I get it - which I never do.2. I know that he...
The Faith That Frees You (5 of 28)
by Chuck McAlister
(A) Faith is an essential part of our lives. Flip a light switch .... you expect the lights to come on .... You don't inspect the wires first, check the light bulbs. That's faith. Drop an important letter in the mail .... You expect it to be delivered .... You don't wait around to see if the mailroom throws it away. That's faith. Fly in an airplane .... you expect to arrive safely .... You don't inspect the pilot's credentials; the engines on the plane. 4Step in an elevator .... you expect to go up or down .... You don't check to see if the cables are frayed. .... That's faith. (B) Much of what we do .... we do by faith .... it is central to all of our lives. 1We go to a doctor...
A Prostitute for God (2 of 2)
by Jeff Strite
READ: Hebrews 11:31 "By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient."READ: James 2:23-26 "And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called God's friend. You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone. In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction? As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead...
The Call Girl Who Became A Princess (4 of 15)
by Stan Coffey
Well, this morning, aren't you glad you're here? You can do better than that. Aren't you glad you're here? Amen! I'll tell you. Give Him another hand of praise. I'll tell you this week while I was studying God's Word I just got my socks blessed off. I want to share it with you this morning if you will turn to Joshua chapter 2. We're going to look at "The Call Girl Who Became A Princess" as we continue this journey into freedom. Here was a call girl, a woman of the night who found salvation in Jesus Christ. It's one of the most remarkable stories of how God's grace extends to a person no matter how low they get. It's also a remarkable story...
The Harlot Who Went to Heaven
by Steve Jones
INTRO: The rivalry is not a matter of life or death. It is more important than that.andquot; Thus spoke UCLA football coach Red Sanders on their rivalry with USC. That may be overestimating the importance of football. However, one thing is more important than life or death and that is salvation because salvation concerns eternal life after death. This lesson is about life and death, rivalry and cooperation, but ultimately it is about the more important issue of salvation. Joshua chapter two describes a spy mission by two Israelites sent to reconnoiter and bring back intelligence concerning the city of Jericho - the first city targeted for....
God Can Change Your Life (3 of 12)
by Stan Coffey
Actually the book of Joshua tells us how God gives us victory. All around the world people are looking for victory today, and this book tells us how God's people can have victory, how God's people can drive the enemy out, how God's people can overcome their problems. We're going to learn about the victory that comes through the blood, and the message is entitled God Can Change Your Life. Joshua 2:1 says: "And Joshua, the son of Nun, sent out of Shittim, two men to spy secretly, saying, 'Go view the land, even Jericho.' And they went and came into a harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there." Now this woman is a...
