The Power of Unseen Faithfulness | Rahab’s Story | Joshua 2 and Joshua 6

About this episode

This sermon explores the theme of unseen faithfulness through the life of Rahab and its significance in God's plan of redemption.

She was an unlikely woman living in a pagan city under judgment. Yet through quiet courage, hidden obedience, and sacrificial faith, God used her to preserve His people and place her in the lineage of the Messiah. This message explores The Power of Unseen Faithfulness through the life of Rahab and the scarlet thread of redemption woven throughout Scripture. The world celebrates fame, power, and visibility, but Heaven honors faithfulness. Most believers will never stand on a public stage or lead armies into battle.

Rahab teaches us that hidden acts of faith can carry eternal consequences.
