Summary
The beauty of faith is often found in its simplicity. You don’t have to possess a wealth of theological knowledge to be captivated by the truth of the gospel. Maybe, like Rahab, you’ve simply heard what the Lord has done and you believe. In this week’s message from Hebrews 11, Pastor J.D. explains how the faith of a Gentile prostitute changed the course of history and left an enduring legacy. In the same way, one simple act of faith on our part has the potential to make a profound, eternal difference in the lives of those around us.
