Summary

This sermon was preached at Covenant Bible Church on the Lord's Day, April 30th, 2023.

In Joshua 2:9, Rahab says, “The FEAR of you has fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you.” And again, in Joshua 2:11, Rahab says, “And as soon as we heard it, our hearts melted, and there was no spirit left in any man because of you.” One of the chief evidences, which caused Rahab to be convinced that her people were under God's judgment and doomed to be destroyed by their enemies (Israel), was the FEAR of her people. Fear is not only a sin, it's a sign of being under a curse.

0:00.0	All right, listen, guys, I get it. Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry
0:04.7	because you're spending your cash in your lives on raising young children in the fear and
0:09.6	admonition of the Lord. Praise God for you and that endeavor. However, algorithms are a thing.
0:16.3	Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing. And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness
0:23.2	of this ministry that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us a five-star
0:30.2	review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast with a friend.
0:36.5	We hope you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much.
0:39.7	God bless. This morning we continue with our series through the book of Joshua. Our text for today is
0:45.0	Joshua chapter 2, verse 1 through 21. Again, that's Joshua chapter 2 verses 1 through 21.
0:53.5	Would you join me now in standing for the reading of God's word?
0:57.1	I'll read our text in its entirety.
0:58.7	When I finish reading the text, I'm going to say,
1:00.6	this is the word of the Lord, at which point I would appreciate very much,
1:03.9	if you would respond by saying thanks be to God.
1:06.8	One final time, our text for today is Joshua, chapter 2, verses 1 through 21. The Bible says this.
1:15.4	And Joshua, the son of nun, sent two men secretly from Shidham as spies, saying, go view the land, especially Jericho.
1:25.9	And they went and came into the house of a prostitute whose name
1:30.6	was Rahab and lodged there. And it was told to the king of Jericho, behold, men of Israel have
1:37.6	come here tonight to search out the land. Then the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying,
1:46.7	Bring out the men who have come to you,
1:55.0	who entered your house, for they have come to search out all the land. But the woman had taken the two men and hidden them. And she said, true, the men came to me, but I did not know where they were from. And when the gate was
2:03.5	about to be closed at dark, the men went out. I do not know where the men went. Pursue them quickly,
