Hebrews 11: Faith That Breaks the Mold - Chris Dillon, Lead Pastor 05 04 25

New Life Church - Asheville, NC

Hebrews 11:31 highlights the surprising faith of Rahab. Rahab was a gentile woman from enemy territory in Jericho, had grown up worshipping canaanite idols, and was a prostitute by trade. And yet, she placed her faith in God in such a bold way, that she risked her life to advance His purpose and plan in the world. She not only saved the life of her entire family by her faith, she would go on to become the great-great grandmother of King David, and become a part of the family line that led to the messiah - Jesus Christ. She teaches us that faith transcends our past, faith moves and takes risks, and that God uses unexpected people to do extraordinary things in His kingdom!
