Hello everyone,

The Bible Study Outline for Sunday is attached hereto.  The topic is Rahab: Salvation by Faith.  This is the next in our Quarter Series on The impact of unsung heroes in the Bible.  The main texts are Joshua 2:1-24; 6:22-25, James 2:25, and Mathew 1:5-6.  The key learning points are as follows:

1. God can use anyone to achieve His purposes, no matter their past sin. Joshua 2:1, Heb 11:31
2. The Bible does not excuse sin or sanitize history.  He uses us despite our failings or, perhaps, because of them.  Joshua 2:4, 9-12
3. One person’s act of loving obedience can save many and impact generations to follow.  Joshua 2:13, Matt. 1:5-6

Yours in His service

Brethren,

I trust you are well and rejoicing in Jesus as you navigate life in a fast changing world.

Our Quarter series on The Power of God at work in us continues this Sunday with a look at The Power of Faith in Salvation.

Key Takeaways include:
1. Faith in Jesus Christ expressed through believing with the heart and confessing with the mouth that Jesus is Lord and that God raised Him from death is all that is needed for salvation.

• a. Faith is not something we do. Rather it is a response to what God has already done on man’s behalf through Jesus Christ.
• b. The heart and the mouth are involved.
• c. This faith for salvation is available to whosoever (v.13) it does not matter one’s religious background or past.

2. Preaching the message about Jesus Christ is critical in the journey to faith in Christ.

• a. The message we preach should be about Jesus Christ 
• b. The message is especially in words. People need to hear the message about Christ. 
• c. God reveals Christ to people as they hear the message about Christ 
• d. Believers must be willing to preach the gospel 

3. Believing and confessing is usually preceded by hearing, understanding, and accepting what has been heard and understood. (Romans 10:14, 16-21). The posture of one’s heart can hinder or stimulate faith
