Rahab of Jericho

Rahab was not the only sinner on the face of the earth; neither is she the last sinner! She happens to be one of the sinners that decided to do something about her sinful condition. Rahab goes from rags to riches . . . from the street into the Hall of Fame. Yes, her name is recorded in the Book of Hebrews 11:31! Some important people of God came to visit the city of Jericho where Rahab lived. But these people were not ordinary people. They had strange customs. They served One God. Their god was powerful and did things that no other deity could do. In fact, their God is God! Before we can talk about Rahab, we must understand the progression of mankind: sin; the flood; Noah; the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; Moses; Joshua; the children of Israel; their wilderness travels; the land of Canaan; then, the city of Jericho.
