Study of Joshua, Part 6
📜 Title: Study of Joshua, Part 6 - The Red Thread
🗣️ By: Pastor Derrel Strickland
📝 Message Description: This teaching was so powerful that Pastor Strickland decided to preach this one on a Sunday morning, so the video above is from the Sunday Morning Service recorded on October 13, 2024.
This message from Pastor Derrel Strickland, part of our journey through the Book of Joshua, brings us to an intriguing story about Rahab and the significance of the red thread. Rahab, a woman of faith, helped the Israelite spies and marked her window with a scarlet cord—a symbol of her faith and a promise of safety. Pastor Derrel emphasized that the red thread symbolizes the sacrifice and salvation offered through Jesus, showing how faith in Him liberates us from sin. The story of Rahab encourages us all to hold onto our faith and trust in the red thread of Christ's sacrifice, which spans from Genesis through Revelation. The core takeaway is that, like Rahab, we must immediately act on our faith and trust in God's promises.
❓ Discussion Questions:
Salvation is so easy all it takes is obedience and faith. What are some steps of obedience that we can take that are pleasing to God?
What does the Red Thread mean to you?
Share with us your thoughts about how Rahab, this resident of Jericho, could have greater faith than many who had seen God's provision personally.
