Faith is measured by endurance, obedience, and a forward-looking hope rooted in Jesus Christ.If you’re facing uncertainty, unanswered prayers, or seasons where the pieces of life don’t seem to fit… this message is for you. God is writing a bigger story than what you can see, and His promises will never fail.

From Scarlet Shame To Saving Faith - Hebrews 11:31

If you’ve ever felt like your past is too heavy, your story too stained, or your failures too loud, Rahab’s story is for you.  In Hebrews 11:31 we meet a woman whose life was marked by shame, yet whose simple, courageous faith caught the attention of heaven. This message walks through Rahab’s journey, the scarlet cord in her window, the risk she took, the grace she received, and the legacy God wrote through her.  Her story reminds us of the gospel: no matter how far you’ve been, the blood of Jesus brings you near. My prayer is that this sermon helps you: • Let go of the labels that no longer define you • Step into courageous obedience • Trust God with your future • See your life as part of God’s greater story of grace You are not your past. You are not your failure. You are not your file folder.In Jesus, you are redeemed, welcomed, and made new.
