When Outsiders Become Insiders | Joshua 2:1-24

October 17, 2021

Pastor Joshua Lim

As Joshua gets the troops ready to cross over the Jordan River, he sends over two spies to scope out the first city they'll be facing - Jericho. But in Jericho, a very unexpected thing happens: someone who embodies the definition of an "outsider" demonstrates saving faith and is included inside the covenant community of God. Rahab shows us that saving faith is marked by theological truth, relational trust, decisive allegiance, and active obedience. And through Rahab, we see that by God's grace, outsiders can become insiders.
