From Harlot to Heroine part 2
March 17, 2023
Many of you have no doubt read through Hebrews eleven- commonly referred to as the Hall of Faith. The list of Bible heroes includes incredible men that God used in great ways - men like Noah, Moses, and Joseph - names you would expect to see on such a list. But, there’s also a name included that you perhaps wouldn’t expect to see. Her name is Rahab and she was a prostitute. How can a prostitute be included in the Hall of Faith, you ask? Stay tuned to find out.

Surviving the Storm
Nathan dropped to the ground suddenly in the middle of his first high school football practice, as parents Al and Norma watched.

Power-packed and inspiring teaching that will help the reader come through any storm on the life preserver of God’s Word.

Today on The Dwelling Place, pastor Al Pittman will have us consider the faith of Rahab, and show us the difference she made while here on earth - by God’s grace. This is just part of our new series in the book of Joshua. Our reference point today will be Joshua two - where we meet up with Rahab.

Joshua was a great leader, but he was also a servant of God. He trusted God to lead him the enormous task he had before him. The book of Joshua is a great source of inspiration and encouragement.

Told in an easy, narrative tone, the book of Joshua follows the life and times of Joshua, who was charged with the not-so-easy task of leading the Israelites into the Promised Land. Although Joshua encountered opposition, God made good on His promise to never leave him. Let’s see what we can take away from that, shall we?

We’ll continue in Joshua chapter one, of course, where we read of an inheritance promised to the Israelites. You’ll find Joshua right after Deuteronomy - it is the sixth book in God’s word.

Pastor Al Pittman will join us momentarily to finish up Acts chapter twenty. Before saying his good-byes to the Elders of the Ephesian church, the apostle Paul had some important matters to discuss. He wanted them to be on the alert, to watch and be warned. These are exhortations the present day church should take in and apply too! So let’s turn to Acts twenty and join pastor Al.

We’ve just begun a new series in Joshua, so open your Bible to Joshua chapter one. The Christian has been saved to experience eternal, abundant life with God. But enjoying that abundant life is a cooperative process of surrender and obedience. There are some great examples of this type of life in the Bible, and none better than Joshua.

God tells Joshua he’s going to lead the people into the Promised Land. Joshua had challenges behind and in front of him that’s for sure, and could have easily become discouraged. So the Lord has an encouraging word for him, and us!

today marks the beginning of a new journey! In the coming weeks we plan on going through the entire book of Joshua with you, chapter by chapter. As pastor Al Pittman brings us an introduction today we can’t help but see how the book speaks of courage, confidence and conquest. The people of Israel are poised and ready to enter the Promised Land, but their leader Moses has died. The baton of leadership is about to be passed on to Joshua, and that’s where we pick the story up now.

Do you consider your church to be “healthy”? There are certainly signs to be looking out for that would indicate an unhealthy church, and one of them is a lack of forgiveness. Let’s face it - no matter how we might try to avoid it - we are going to do something that hurts another. By word or by action, we offend one another - and we need to be forgiven.

There are several phrases that us human beings find difficult to say. “I’m sorry” is a tough one for a lot of people, and another one is “I forgive you”. That will be pastor Al’s focus today - forgiving one another. When you think about it, if we as a church body were stubbornly refusing to forgive each other, it would make for a very strange meeting every Sunday morning, wouldn’t it?
