Season 3, Exodus Pioneers: The Stories Rahab Heard

Her Story

This is a little bit of a longer episode because it encompasses an overview of Exodus 1-11 with a look at the Big Picture. It is this big picture that had such a great impact on Rahab, and that continues to have impact today on the lives of everyone who puts their faith in God.
How does the big picture of Exodus together? What has God accomplished? We know God’s intention. God had the whole thing worked out when God made God's covenant with Abraham.

“Know this for certain, that your offspring shall be aliens in a land that is not theirs, and shall be slaves there, and they shall be oppressed for four hundred years; but I will bring judgment on the nation that they serve, and afterward they shall come out with great possessions. … And they shall come back here in the fourth generation....” (Genesis 15:13-16)

The even bigger picture, embedded in that promise, included redemption not just for a clan, or a people group, but for all the people of earth, for every clan, culture, tribe, nation, language, and people.
That magnificent plan was already at work, then, in the heart of a Canaanite woman who knew nothing about the God of the Hebrews but for the hair raising contest of the gods in Egypt, and the subsequent tales of conquest and valor for God's people.
This podcast was originally a message delivered at New Hope Chapel, MD, and will become a YouTube video soon.
