Hebrews 11:23-31 · Providence Baptist Church - Sermons

0:00
Good morning, everyone. Open up your Bibles to Hebrews chapter 11.
0:09
So, I'm aware that this is one of the most favored passages in Hebrews 11.
0:14
! So, no pressure.
0:17
I will endeavor to be faithful to the text and preach to my heart as well as yours this morning.
0:25
So, even though I just prayed, just pause with me just for a moment.
0:32
It's just good for me to get up here and to recognize that the presence of the Lord is here
0:38
and that He is ready to speak to the hearts of His people through His Word.
0:44
Lord, we are very gracious that You have brought us here.
0:49
So, help us to put our mind's attention and our heart's affection on You
0:53
to worship You in spirit and in truth.
0:57
And that You would help me just only be an instrument in Your hand
1:03
to love Your people well and to inspire faith in them through Your Word, Lord.
1:09
So, we put this in Your hands. In Christ's name, Amen.
1:12
Amen. So, Hebrews 11.
1:18
I think that it's a very timely chapter that we're in
1:23
because I feel like in my own life, I've been way too focused on the natural,
1:31
way too focused on what I can see with my eyes and not with the eyes of faith.
1:36
I've been so focused on the temporal and the earthly rather than the eternal and the unseen.
1:44
And I am very thankful that I've kind of landed in Hebrews 11.
1:48
There will be a connection between this week and next week.
1:53
Next week, I'm also really looking forward to.
1:56
But just as a broader context, I want us to...
2:00
Our text will be Hebrews 11, 23-31 today.
2:04
But as just a broader context, I want us to think about
2:07
what the author is trying to say to us in Hebrews 11.
2:12
And, like, why the history lesson?
2:14
Why is he going back to look at all these different people who have gone before us,
2:21
particularly in the Old Testament, to inspire that kind of faith in us?
2:24
He wants to motivate those who are professing faith in Christ
2:28
to look to these examples for endurance and persecution.
2:33
He wants them to obtain God's unseen future promises.
2:38
And so, as it says in Hebrews 6-12,
2:40
he wants them to be imitators of those who, through faith and patience,
2:45
inherit the promises.
2:48
So, just a couple of selective verses before we get to our main text.
2:53
So, look at Hebrews, just the beginning of the chapter, Hebrews 11.
2:57
It says,
2:57
Now, faith is the assurance of things hoped for,
3:02
the conviction of things not seen.
3:07
Jump down to verse 6.
3:09
And without faith, it is impossible to please him.
3:13
Whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
3:23
And, jump maybe over to verse 13.
3:29
We've been talking about Abraham and Sarah.
3:31
And it says,
3:33
All these died in faith, not having received the things promised,
3:37
but having seen them and greeted them from afar,
3:40
and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.
3:46
Verse 16.
3:48
But that is, they desired a better country, that is, a heavenly one.
3:53
And therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God,
3:58
for he has prepared for them a city.
4:02
And so, it's in these verses that we kind of come on down to, verse 23.
4:08
But faith, I've been trying to put together, paste together,
4:14
just sort of what I really think Scripture teaches faith is,
4:17
to live by faith, to walk by faith.
4:20
Because if you ask many people to define it,
4:23
it's kind of like one of those things that a lot of believers just stumble to even explain.
4:27
It's like, well, you just, you know, you just got to have, you just got to trust God.
4:30
And it's like, all right, good, trust God.
4:33
So, here's sort of a rough definition, I believe,
4:38
that fits the biblical description, what we're looking for.
4:42
But follow this.
4:43
Faith is a settled confidence that something in the future,
4:49
something that is not yet seen,
4:52
but has been promised by God,
4:55
will actually come to pass,
4:58
because God will bring it to pass.
5:01
I'll do it one more time.
5:02
Faith is a settled confidence that something in the future,
5:07
something that is not yet seen,
5:09
but has been promised by God,
5:11
will actually come to pass,
5:13
because God will bring it to pass.
5:16
And this is so obvious of the way that a lot of people portray faith,
5:21
sort of a blind faith,
5:23
a leap of faith.
5:24
Nathan's illustration a long time ago worked for me.
5:27
I grew up watching Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade,
5:30
where he like did the little boot,
5:32
the boot thing and just, you know,
5:33
fell like on the bridge.
5:34
And that's just not what we're talking about.
5:37
We're talking about a confidence.
5:39
We are persuaded,
5:41
convinced that these things are true,
5:44
that God has spoken,
5:46
he has promised,
5:47
and he will deliver on what he promised.
5:51
And so God is not a liar.
5:53
He is not a man.
5:54
He should not tell the truth.
5:56
So real faith is the sure confidence
5:58
that our sovereign,
6:01
wise God is trustworthy,
6:04
that he will bring to pass what he says,
6:06
that he will never leave or forsake his people.
6:10
And we're just so not used to that in our world,
6:13
in our own lives,
6:14
our relationships.
6:16
But such faith in the unseen realm of God
6:19
provides confidence that we need to endure.
6:24
And the first few verses I read here
6:27
meant a lot to me
6:29
because they were instrumental,
6:30
I think, in my conversion
6:31
when I was 18 years old.
6:34
And when my body,
6:36
my physical body was falling apart
6:38
and my hope in the physical world
6:40
and this temporal world was falling apart.
6:44
And so it was huge for me at this time.
6:49
But we're looking at the example of Moses today,
6:53
of Joshua,
6:55
and the people of Israel.
6:58
So we'll start,
6:59
we'll pick up in verse 23.
7:01
It says,
7:04
By faith,
7:06
Moses,
7:07
when he was born,
7:08
was hidden for three months by his parents
7:10
because they saw that the child was beautiful
7:12
and they were not afraid of the king's edict.
7:16
By faith,
7:17
Moses,
7:18
when he has grown up,
7:20
refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,
7:23
choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God
7:26
than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.
7:31
He considered the reproach of the Christ's greater wealth
7:34
than the treasures of Egypt,
7:36
for he was looking to the reward.
7:39
By faith,
7:40
he left Egypt,
7:41
not being afraid of the anger of the king,
7:43
for he endured as seeing him who is invisible.
7:48
By faith,
7:48
he kept the Passover
7:49
and sprinkled the blood
7:51
so that the destroyer of the firstborn
7:54
might not touch them.
7:56
And by faith,
7:58
the people crossed the Red Sea
7:59
as on dry land,
8:01
but the Egyptians,
8:03
when they had attempted to do the same,
8:04
were drowned.
8:06
And by faith,
8:07
the walls of Jericho
8:08
fell down
8:10
after they had been encircled for seven days.
8:13
And by faith,
8:15
Rahab,
8:16
the prostitute,
8:17
did not perish with those who were disobedient
8:20
because she had been given
8:22
a friendly welcome to the spies.
8:25
So,
8:27
underneath all of this,
8:29
before we walk through this,
8:31
I want to give you just two true statements.
8:34
One of them is that
8:39
through our faith in God
8:41
and his wise providence,
8:44
he can and does work miracles
8:47
to help and deliver his people.
8:50
And I hope that you believe that.
8:51
I hope that God's even allowed you
8:53
to see that in your life.
8:56
Through faith in our God
8:58
and his wise providence,
8:59
he can and does work miracles
9:01
to bring deliverance
9:03
and help to his people.
9:04
And then next week,
9:06
we'll actually unpack this one a lot more,
9:08
but God and his wise providence
9:10
does not always
9:11
work miracles for our deliverance
9:14
from suffering,
9:16
but rather by faith,
9:17
he sustains his people
9:19
through their suffering.
9:21
So,
9:23
we're going to unpack this,
9:24
I guess,
9:24
in just three sections,
9:25
but we'll look at the faith of Moses first.
9:27
Number one,
9:28
by faith,
9:29
Moses.
9:30
And
9:31
we see that in verse 23 through 29.
9:34
And
9:34
as I've said before,
9:36
Moses is one of my favorite Bible characters.
9:39
I think I identify a lot with him.
9:42
He was
9:42
not this
9:44
great,
9:45
huge,
9:46
leading the charge
9:48
kind of guy.
9:49
He wasn't extremely
9:50
charismatic,
9:52
you would say,
9:53
like Joshua or David,
9:54
and I kind of identify
9:55
with him.
9:56
He was the reluctant leader
9:58
and
9:59
preferred to be more of a number two guy
10:01
often
10:02
and not a great public communicator.
10:04
Don't really feel that I am either.
10:06
But I agree
10:07
with a lot of the things
10:10
that he says and does.
10:12
But in verse 23,
10:13
if you want to look at verse 23,
10:15
we see first
10:16
his
10:17
preservation.
10:19
Moses' preservation
10:20
in verse 23.
10:21
And what did this
10:22
have to do?
10:23
It didn't have to do
10:24
as much with Moses
10:25
as it had to do
10:26
with the faith
10:27
of Moses' parents.
10:29
If you remember
10:30
from Exodus
10:30
chapter 1,
10:32
verse 22,
10:33
it said,
10:34
Pharaoh commanded
10:34
all his people
10:35
saying,
10:37
every Jewish
10:38
son
10:38
who is born
10:40
you are to cast
10:41
into the Nile
10:42
and every daughter
10:43
you are to keep
10:44
alive.
10:45
So this cruel,
10:47
you know,
10:48
wicked,
10:50
demonic edict
10:51
of Pharaoh
10:52
to
10:52
destroy
10:54
all
10:54
the baby boys
10:56
and to spare
10:57
the daughters
10:58
and have them
10:58
cast into
10:59
the Nile.
11:01
And so
11:01
Moses' parents
11:02
were faced
11:03
with
11:03
a decision.
11:05
Do we
11:05
give in
11:07
and give up
11:08
our child,
11:10
obey the king's edict
11:11
and then
11:12
we're spared
11:12
or
11:14
if we refuse
11:16
then our lives
11:17
could be at risk.
11:18
There's only two options.
11:19
If we refuse
11:20
to obey this edict
11:21
then our lives
11:22
will be
11:23
endangered as well.
11:25
So they had
11:26
those two choices,
11:27
kill their sons
11:28
or save themselves.
11:30
Right?
11:31
Or try to save
11:32
their sons
11:32
at risk of their own lives.
11:34
And that's huge
11:36
because
11:36
their faith
11:39
demonstrated that
11:40
they knew
11:41
what God
11:43
had promised
11:44
that one day
11:45
they would send
11:46
someone to
11:47
deliver them
11:48
from bondage.
11:49
And they
11:50
chose rather
11:51
to not give in
11:52
to that fear
11:53
of death
11:53
and torture.
11:54
And they said
11:55
we're going to
11:56
not do this.
11:58
This is not what
11:58
our God
11:59
would have us do.
12:01
He would have us
12:01
look to him
12:02
and trust him.
12:03
And so they said
12:04
in the face of that
12:05
terror
12:06
we will not
12:07
give in.
12:08
We will not
12:09
kill our son
12:10
for fear
12:11
of our own
12:11
lives
12:12
but we will
12:12
trust in
12:13
our God
12:14
and death
12:16
will not
12:16
control us.
12:18
So
12:19
he was
12:20
preserved.
12:22
He was put
12:22
into the Nile
12:23
in the basket
12:23
as we know
12:24
he floated
12:25
down the river
12:27
to where
12:27
Pharaoh's daughter
12:29
who I believe
12:31
historically
12:31
was Hapshepsut
12:32
and was taken
12:34
into
12:35
the Pharaoh's
12:36
household
12:37
and raised
12:38
in that context.
12:40
And we see
12:41
that really
12:41
in our next
12:42
few verses.
12:43
So that's
12:43
Moses'
12:44
preservation
12:45
and
12:47
verse 24
12:48
through 26
12:49
we see
12:51
his identification.
12:52
So who did
12:53
Moses choose
12:54
to
12:54
identify
12:56
himself
12:56
with?
12:57
The Egyptians
12:58
and Pharaoh's
12:59
household
13:00
or with
13:01
the people
13:02
of Israel.
13:04
And
13:04
I want you
13:05
to
13:06
there's just
13:07
a couple
13:07
places for
13:07
you to
13:08
look today.
13:09
But flip
13:09
over to
13:10
Acts chapter
13:10
7 to
13:11
kind of
13:11
give us
13:11
a broader
13:12
picture of
13:13
what's
13:14
going on.
13:15
Acts chapter
13:16
7 and
13:17
this is
13:17
when
13:17
Stephen
13:19
is giving
13:19
testimony
13:20
and going
13:22
back and
13:22
sort of
13:22
explaining
13:23
the redemptive
13:25
story and
13:25
how
13:26
crisis
13:27
had come.
13:29
Acts chapter
13:30
7 we'll
13:30
look at
13:31
verse 20.
13:31
all right
13:40
and he
13:40
says this
13:41
starting
13:41
in verse
13:42
20.
13:43
At this
13:43
time
13:43
Moses was
13:44
born
13:45
and he
13:46
was
13:46
beautiful
13:47
in God's
13:47
sight
13:48
and he
13:49
was brought
13:49
up for
13:50
three months
13:50
in his
13:51
father's
13:51
house
13:52
and then
13:53
when he
13:53
was exposed
13:54
Pharaoh's
13:55
daughter
13:56
adopted
13:56
him
13:57
and brought
13:57
him up
13:57
as her
13:58
own
13:58
and Moses
13:59
was instructed
14:00
in all
14:01
the wisdom
14:01
of the
14:02
Egyptians
14:03
and he
14:04
was mighty
14:05
in his
14:05
words
14:05
and deeds
14:06
and when
14:07
he was
14:08
forty years
14:08
old
14:09
it came
14:09
into his
14:09
heart
14:10
to visit
14:10
his
14:10
brothers
14:11
the
14:12
children
14:12
of Israel
14:13
and seeing
14:14
one of
14:15
them being
14:15
wronged
14:16
he defended
14:16
the oppressed
14:17
man
14:18
and avenged
14:19
him by
14:19
striking down
14:20
the Egyptian
14:20
he supposed
14:22
that his
14:23
brothers would
14:23
understand
14:24
that God
14:24
was giving
14:25
them salvation
14:26
by his
14:27
hand
14:27
but
14:28
they did
14:29
not
14:29
understand
14:29
and on
14:31
the following
14:31
day he
14:32
appeared
14:32
to them
14:33
as they
14:34
were quarreling
14:34
and tried
14:35
to reconcile
14:36
them saying
14:36
men
14:37
you are
14:38
brothers
14:39
why do
14:39
you wrong
14:40
each other
14:41
but the
14:42
man who
14:42
was wronging
14:43
his neighbor
14:44
thrust him
14:45
aside saying
14:46
who made
14:46
you a
14:47
ruler and
14:48
judge over
14:49
us
14:49
that's
14:51
going to be
14:52
repeated in
14:52
the life of
14:52
Moses a lot
14:53
do you want
14:54
to kill me
14:55
as you killed
14:56
the Egyptian
14:56
yesterday
14:57
at this
14:59
retort
15:00
Moses fled
15:00
and became
15:01
an exile
15:01
in the land
15:02
of Midian
15:03
where he
15:04
became a
15:05
father of
15:05
two sons
15:06
so
15:07
Moses'
15:09
identification
15:10
but think
15:11
about this
15:12
if this
15:12
life is it
15:13
if this
15:13
temporal world
15:14
is it
15:15
why in the
15:17
world would
15:17
he leave
15:18
such privileges
15:19
that he had
15:20
in Egypt
15:20
why
15:22
he was
15:23
perfectly
15:23
set up
15:24
for life
15:25
earthly
15:25
status
15:26
privilege
15:27
and pleasures
15:28
all that he
15:29
could really
15:29
enjoy
15:30
but why
15:31
did he
15:31
choose to
15:32
identify
15:33
rather
15:33
with
15:34
the people
15:35
of Israel
15:36
and so
15:38
even that
15:39
being
15:39
a
15:41
adopted
15:42
son of
15:42
Pharaoh's
15:43
daughter
15:43
so
15:45
but in our
15:46
text gives
15:46
the answer
15:47
he chose
15:47
to do so
15:48
because
15:49
of the
15:50
fleeting
15:51
pleasures
15:51
of sin
15:52
right
15:53
we see
15:53
that
15:54
and
15:55
it's
15:55
important
15:56
to note
15:56
that
15:56
I think
15:58
we kind
15:58
of
15:58
betray
15:59
sin
16:02
is
16:02
unpleasurable
16:03
and it
16:05
is
16:05
but
16:06
we got
16:07
to
16:07
understand
16:08
that
16:09
the
16:09
pleasures
16:09
of sin
16:10
are very
16:10
real
16:11
they feel
16:12
good
16:12
in the
16:13
moment
16:13
when we're
16:13
indulging
16:14
in them
16:15
but
16:16
they're
16:17
short-lived
16:18
they're
16:18
vanity
16:19
they're
16:19
fleeting
16:20
they don't
16:20
remain
16:21
and so
16:23
Moses
16:23
I think
16:24
had learned
16:25
this in
16:25
his context
16:26
like
16:26
I've enjoyed
16:28
40 years
16:29
of this
16:29
kind of
16:29
stuff
16:29
and you
16:30
know
16:30
what
16:30
it is
16:31
not
16:31
what I'm
16:33
looking
16:33
for
16:33
and
16:35
instead
16:35
he
16:36
chose
16:36
to
16:36
bear
16:37
the
16:37
reproach
16:37
of
16:38
Christ
16:38
and he
16:38
considered
16:39
it
16:39
greater
16:40
riches
16:41
the
16:42
reproach
16:43
of
16:43
Christ
16:44
and so
16:44
think
16:45
about
16:45
how
16:46
Moses
16:46
serves
16:47
as a
16:47
foreshadow
16:48
or prefigure
16:49
of Christ
16:50
and all
16:51
these
16:51
things
16:51
so
16:53
remember
16:54
make all
16:54
the connections
16:55
in your
16:55
mind
16:55
our
16:57
Lord
16:57
Jesus
16:57
his
16:59
parents
16:59
also
17:00
fled
17:00
a
17:01
wicked
17:01
king
17:01
seeking
17:02
to
17:02
destroy
17:02
all
17:04
the
17:04
boys
17:04
all
17:04
the
17:05
baby
17:05
boys
17:05
in
17:06
Bethlehem
17:07
and yet
17:08
he was
17:08
preserved
17:08
just like
17:09
Moses
17:10
was
17:10
preserved
17:11
he
17:12
was
17:12
the
17:14
king
17:14
of
17:14
kings
17:14
who
17:15
humbled
17:15
himself
17:15
leaving
17:16
all
17:16
his
17:16
heavenly
17:17
glory
17:18
and
17:18
majesty
17:19
behind
17:19
and
17:19
seeking
17:20
to
17:20
rather
17:20
identify
17:21
with
17:22
us
17:22
his
17:23
people
17:23
and
17:24
coming
17:24
to
17:24
take
17:24
on
17:25
human
17:25
form
17:26
and
17:26
take
17:26
on
17:27
our
17:27
weakness
17:28
he
17:28
came
17:29
to be
17:29
with
17:29
us
17:30
and
17:31
then
17:31
like
17:32
Moses
17:32
he
17:32
suffered
17:33
on
17:33
behalf
17:33
of
17:34
his
17:34
people
17:34
Christ
17:35
suffered
17:35
on
17:36
our
17:36
behalf
17:37
and
17:38
so
17:38
Moses
17:39
serves
17:39
as a
17:40
model
17:40
for
17:40
believers
17:41
to
17:41
endure
17:41
that
17:41
kind
17:42
of
17:42
reproach
17:43
and
17:44
so
17:44
we
17:44
need
17:44
to
17:44
take
17:45
note
17:45
of
17:45
this
17:45
that
17:46
he
17:46
saw
17:47
that
17:49
there
17:50
was
17:51
reward
17:51
in
17:51
the
17:51
future
17:52
for
17:52
the
17:52
faith
17:53
that
17:53
he
17:54
would
17:54
have
17:54
in
17:54
the
17:55
God
17:55
of
17:55
Israel
17:56
and
17:57
he
17:57
fled
17:58
the
17:58
temporal
17:58
pleasures
17:59
of
17:59
sin
17:59
so
18:01
some
18:01
of
18:01
us
18:01
may
18:02
be
18:02
stuck
18:02
even
18:03
as
18:04
believers
18:04
in
18:04
a
18:04
pattern
18:05
of
18:05
sin
18:05
that's
18:05
just
18:06
destroying
18:06
!
18:06
us
18:06
and
18:07
remember
18:08
that
18:08
they're
18:09
fleeting
18:09
they
18:10
don't
18:10
remain
18:11
and
18:12
that
18:12
if
18:13
we
18:13
have
18:13
Christ
18:13
we
18:14
have
18:14
the
18:14
one
18:14
thing
18:15
that
18:15
will
18:15
not
18:15
ever
18:16
leave
18:16
right
18:16
he
18:17
is
18:17
there
18:17
forever
18:18
and
18:18
nothing
18:19
can
18:19
take
18:19
him
18:19
away
18:20
and
18:20
he
18:20
is
18:20
not
18:20
going
18:21
to
18:21
leave
18:21
us
18:22
or
18:22
forsake
18:22
us
18:23
so
18:24
look at
18:26
verse
18:26
27
18:27
back in
18:28
Hebrews
18:29
11
18:29
it
18:30
talks
18:31
about
18:31
Moses
18:31
separation
18:32
how
18:33
he
18:33
left
18:34
the
18:34
land
18:34
of
18:34
Egypt
18:35
and
18:35
he
18:35
did
18:35
this
18:35
by
18:35
faith
18:36
he
18:37
wasn't
18:37
afraid
18:37
of
18:38
the
18:39
anger
18:39
or
18:39
wrath
18:40
of
18:40
Pharaoh
18:41
but
18:42
he
18:42
endured
18:42
as
18:42
seeing
18:43
him
18:43
who
18:43
is
18:44
invisible
18:44
and
18:46
I
18:46
really
18:46
think
18:46
this
18:47
is
18:47
implying
18:47
this
18:47
idea
18:48
that
18:48
he
18:48
saw
18:48
through
18:49
the
18:49
eyes
18:49
of
18:49
faith
18:50
like
18:50
we
18:50
do
18:50
the
18:52
God
18:52
of
18:52
Israel
18:53
and
18:53
he
18:53
endured
18:54
the
18:55
wrath
18:55
the
18:55
wrath
18:55
of
18:56
Pharaoh
18:56
and
18:56
he
18:56
fled
18:57
into
18:57
the
18:57
wilderness
18:58
right
18:58
for
18:58
40
18:59
years
18:59
and
19:01
in
19:02
that
19:02
time
19:02
God
19:03
was
19:03
prepping
19:03
him
19:04
preparing
19:04
him
19:05
for
19:05
what
19:05
was
19:05
ahead
19:06
and
19:07
even
19:07
though
19:07
Moses
19:08
did
19:08
come
19:08
to
19:09
see
19:09
some
19:09
physical
19:10
manifestations
19:10
of
19:11
God's
19:11
presence
19:11
like
19:12
the
19:12
burning
19:12
bush
19:13
and
19:13
the
19:14
fire
19:15
and
19:15
the
19:15
cloud
19:15
and
19:16
all
19:16
these
19:16
things
19:16
he
19:17
still
19:18
looked
19:18
upon
19:18
God
19:19
through
19:19
the
19:19
eyes
19:20
of
19:20
faith
19:20
and
19:21
so
19:22
by
19:22
faith
19:23
he
19:23
left
19:23
Egypt
19:24
and
19:25
verse
19:26
28
19:26
we
19:27
see
19:28
that
19:28
by
19:29
faith
19:29
his
19:30
salvation
19:30
came
19:31
by
19:32
faith
19:32
he
19:32
kept
19:33
the
19:34
Passover
19:34
so
19:35
remember
19:36
remember
19:36
guys
19:37
like
19:37
the
19:37
story
19:38
they
19:40
have
19:40
been
19:40
telling
19:40
commanding
19:42
Pharaoh
19:43
to let
19:43
the people
19:44
go
19:44
and
19:45
he
19:45
has
19:45
refused
19:46
he
19:47
hardened
19:47
his
19:48
heart
19:48
he
19:48
stood
19:49
his
19:49
ground
19:49
and
19:51
they
19:51
kind
19:51
of
19:51
warn
19:51
him
19:51
like
19:52
if
19:52
you
19:52
don't
19:53
let
19:53
the
19:53
people
19:53
go
19:54
something
19:54
worse
19:55
than
19:55
ever
19:56
before
19:56
is
19:56
going
19:57
to
19:57
come
19:57
and
19:59
he
19:59
refused
20:00
so
20:01
as
20:01
judgment
20:02
God
20:03
sent
20:03
one
20:03
more
20:04
plague
20:04
to
20:04
kill
20:04
all
20:05
the
20:05
firstborn
20:05
the
20:06
angel
20:07
of
20:07
death
20:07
the
20:08
destroyer
20:08
to
20:09
execute
20:10
that
20:10
judgment
20:10
yet
20:12
we
20:13
read
20:13
that
20:13
God
20:14
graciously
20:14
provided
20:16
a way
20:16
for the
20:16
Israelites
20:17
to be
20:17
spared
20:18
and
20:19
we
20:19
read
20:19
that
20:20
they
20:21
were
20:21
to
20:21
take
20:21
a
20:21
lamb
20:22
without
20:22
blemish
20:23
I'll
20:23
read
20:24
this
20:24
to
20:24
you
20:24
out
20:24
of
20:24
Exodus
20:25
12
20:25
such
20:27
beautiful
20:28
pictures
20:28
for us
20:29
to
20:29
see
20:29
it
20:30
says
20:30
then
20:30
they
20:30
will
20:31
take
20:31
some
20:31
of
20:31
the
20:32
blood
20:32
of
20:32
the
20:32
lamb
20:33
and
20:33
put
20:34
it
20:34
on
20:34
the
20:34
doorpost
20:35
and
20:35
the
20:35
lentil
20:36
of
20:36
the
20:36
houses
20:36
in
20:37
which
20:37
they
20:37
eat
20:37
it
20:38
it
20:39
is
20:39
the
20:39
Lord's
20:40
Passover
20:41
for
20:42
I
20:42
will
20:42
pass
20:42
through
20:42
the
20:43
land
20:43
of
20:43
Egypt
20:43
that
20:44
night
20:44
and
20:44
I
20:44
will
20:44
strike
20:45
all
20:45
the
20:45
firstborn
20:46
in
20:46
the
20:46
land
20:47
of
20:47
Egypt
20:47
both
20:48
man
20:49
and
20:49
beast
20:50
and
20:50
all
20:51
the
20:51
gods
20:51
of
20:52
Egypt
20:52
I
20:52
will
20:52
execute
20:53
judgments
20:53
!
21:08
when
21:09
I
21:09
strike
21:09
the
21:10
land
21:10
of
21:10
Egypt
21:11
that's
21:12
Exodus
21:12
12
21:13
11
21:14
through
21:14
13
21:15
so
21:16
Moses
21:17
celebrated
21:17
the
21:18
Passover
21:18
before
21:18
seeing
21:19
the
21:19
deliverance
21:20
that
21:20
it
21:20
would
21:20
bring
21:21
from
21:21
the
21:21
destroyer
21:22
and
21:23
it
21:23
serves
21:23
as
21:24
a
21:24
foreshadow
21:25
of the
21:26
true
21:26
deliverance
21:27
that
21:28
we
21:29
in
21:29
Christ
21:29
are
21:30
to
21:30
receive
21:30
because
21:32
judgment
21:32
is
21:33
coming
21:33
one
21:33
day
21:34
and
21:36
I
21:36
tremble
21:37
to
21:38
think
21:38
about
21:39
it
21:39
and
21:41
in
21:41
a
21:41
similar
21:42
way
21:42
God
21:42
will
21:42
execute
21:43
judgment
21:43
and
21:44
he
21:44
will
21:44
bring
21:44
ruin
21:45
upon
21:46
those
21:46
who
21:46
have
21:47
stood
21:48
against
21:48
him
21:48
and
21:48
been
21:49
disobedient
21:49
to
21:50
his
21:50
word
21:50
and
21:52
so
21:52
in
21:53
Christ
21:53
as
21:55
Paul
21:55
says
21:56
in
21:56
1st
21:56
Corinthians
21:57
5
21:57
Christ
21:58
our
21:59
Passover
22:00
lamb
22:00
has
22:01
been
22:01
sacrificed
22:02
so
22:03
when
22:04
judgment
22:05
comes
22:05
and
22:06
we
22:07
are
22:07
seen
22:07
washed
22:08
in
22:08
the
22:08
blood
22:09
of
22:10
the
22:10
lamb
22:10
we
22:11
will
22:11
be
22:12
passed
22:12
over
22:12
and
22:14
so
22:15
by
22:15
faith
22:15
Moses
22:16
knew
22:16
that
22:17
if
22:17
he
22:17
did
22:17
this
22:18
and
22:19
was
22:19
obedient
22:19
to
22:20
the
22:20
command
22:20
of
22:20
God
22:21
that
22:22
they
22:22
would
22:22
be
22:22
spared
22:23
and
22:24
so
22:24
we
22:25
have
22:25
that
22:25
command
22:26
to
22:26
repent
22:26
and
22:27
believe
22:27
the
22:27
gospel
22:28
to
22:28
come
22:28
to
22:28
Christ
22:29
to
22:30
be
22:30
washed
22:30
in
22:30
his
22:31
blood
22:31
so
22:31
that
22:31
we
22:32
can
22:32
endure
22:32
to
22:33
the
22:33
end
22:33
so
22:35
by
22:37
faith
22:38
his
22:39
salvation
22:39
and
22:39
then
22:40
underneath
22:40
this
22:41
we
22:42
see
22:42
he
22:42
and
22:43
his
22:43
people
22:43
deliverance
22:44
in
22:44
verse
22:44
29
22:45
verse
22:46
29
22:46
by
22:46
faith
22:47
the
22:47
people
22:47
crossed
22:48
the
22:48
Red
22:48
Sea
22:48
as
22:49
on
22:49
dry
22:50
land
22:50
but
22:51
the
22:51
Egyptians
22:52
when
22:53
they
22:53
attempted
22:53
to
22:53
do
22:53
the
22:54
same
22:54
were
22:55
drowned
22:55
and
22:57
one of
22:59
the
22:59
most
22:59
I
23:00
would
23:00
say
23:00
probably
23:01
one
23:01
of
23:01
the
23:01
most
23:02
like
23:02
crazy
23:03
visuals
23:03
you
23:04
can
23:04
see
23:04
in
23:04
display
23:05
of
23:05
God's
23:05
power
23:06
and
23:06
the
23:06
scripture
23:07
God
23:08
parting
23:08
the
23:09
Red
23:09
Sea
23:09
which
23:11
I
23:11
believe
23:11
is
23:12
probably
23:12
in
23:12
the
23:13
Gulf
23:13
of
23:13
Aqaba
23:13
I
23:14
would
23:14
guess
23:14
come
23:15
talk
23:15
to
23:15
me
23:15
later
23:16
if
23:16
you
23:16
want
23:16
to
23:16
nerd
23:16
out
23:16
but
23:18
we
23:19
see
23:19
I'll
23:20
read
23:20
you
23:20
this
23:20
passage
23:21
out
23:21
of
23:21
Exodus
23:22
14
23:22
they
23:23
were
23:23
standing
23:24
at
23:24
the
23:24
Red
23:24
Sea
23:24
trapped
23:25
right
23:26
trapped
23:27
and
23:28
Moses
23:29
said
23:29
to
23:29
the
23:29
people
23:30
fear
23:30
not
23:31
stand
23:32
firm
23:32
and
23:32
see
23:33
the
23:33
salvation
23:34
of
23:34
the
23:34
Lord
23:35
which
23:36
he
23:36
will
23:36
work
23:36
for
23:36
you
23:37
today
23:37
for
23:37
the
23:38
Egyptians
23:38
whom
23:39
you
23:39
see
23:39
today
23:40
you
23:40
shall
23:40
never
23:41
see
23:41
again
23:42
for
23:43
the
23:43
Lord
23:44
will
23:44
fight
23:44
for
23:45
you
23:45
and
23:46
you
23:46
only
23:46
have
23:47
to
23:47
be
23:47
silent
23:48
good
23:49
words
23:50
just
23:50
the
23:51
Lord
23:51
will
23:51
fight
23:52
for
23:52
us
23:52
we
23:52
will
23:53
stand
23:53
and
23:53
see
23:54
his
23:54
deliverance
23:56
so
23:57
Moses
23:58
was
23:59
delivered
24:00
his
24:00
people
24:01
were
24:01
delivered
24:02
and
24:03
they
24:03
were
24:03
spared
24:03
so
24:05
we
24:05
have
24:07
these
24:07
awesome
24:08
pictures
24:08
of
24:08
Moses
24:09
to
24:09
look
24:09
to
24:10
for
24:10
an
24:10
example
24:11
of
24:11
faith
24:12
such
24:14
wonderful
24:15
faith
24:15
and
24:16
then
24:16
it
24:16
goes
24:17
on
24:17
so
24:17
it's
24:17
kind
24:18
of
24:18
going
24:18
through
24:18
the
24:18
storyline
24:19
right
24:19
across
24:20
the
24:20
Red
24:20
Sea
24:21
went
24:22
into
24:22
the
24:22
promised
24:22
land
24:23
but
24:23
some
24:23
stuff
24:24
happened
24:24
and
24:24
they
24:24
wandered
24:25
in
24:25
the
24:25
wilderness
24:25
until
24:27
that
24:27
generation
24:28
had
24:28
passed
24:29
and
24:30
we
24:30
see
24:31
our
24:31
second
24:32
point
24:32
so
24:34
that
24:34
was
24:34
by
24:34
faith
24:34
Moses
24:35
but
24:35
number
24:35
two
24:36
is
24:36
by
24:36
faith
24:36
Joshua
24:37
and
24:38
the
24:38
people
24:38
of
24:39
Israel
24:39
right
24:41
so
24:42
verse
24:42
30
24:42
by
24:42
faith
24:43
the
24:43
walls
24:43
of
24:44
Jericho
24:44
fell
24:44
down
24:45
after
24:46
they
24:46
had
24:46
been
24:46
in
24:47
a
24:47
circle
24:47
for
24:47
seven
24:48
days
24:48
and
24:50
I
24:51
think
24:51
this
24:51
is
24:51
one
24:53
of
24:53
the
24:53
places
24:53
I
24:53
wanted
24:53
you
24:53
to
24:54
look
24:54
at
24:54
Joshua
24:55
chapter
24:55
five
24:56
really
24:56
quickly
24:56
Joshua
24:58
chapter
24:59
five
24:59
we
25:06
see
25:07
that
25:07
he
25:07
has
25:07
this
25:08
divine
25:08
encounter
25:09
before
25:10
going
25:12
to the
25:12
city
25:13
of
25:13
Jericho
25:13
they
25:14
have
25:14
crossed
25:14
the
25:14
Jordan
25:15
river
25:15
they
25:16
set
25:16
up
25:16
the
25:17
memorial
25:17
stones
25:18
and
25:19
their
25:19
faith
25:20
is
25:20
being
25:20
strengthened
25:21
by
25:21
seeing
25:21
God
25:22
part
25:22
the
25:22
river
25:22
Jordan
25:23
as
25:24
he
25:24
did
25:24
the
25:24
Red
25:24
Sea
25:25
so
25:26
Joshua
25:28
chapter
25:29
five
25:29
look at
25:29
verse
25:29
13
25:30
this
25:30
is
25:30
right
25:31
before
25:32
the
25:32
siege
25:32
it
25:32
says
25:32
when
25:32
Joshua
25:33
was
25:33
by
25:33
Jericho
25:34
he
25:35
lifted
25:35
up
25:35
his
25:35
eyes
25:36
and
25:36
looked
25:36
and
25:37
behold
25:37
a
25:38
man
25:39
was
25:39
standing
25:39
before
25:40
him
25:40
with
25:40
his
25:40
sword
25:41
drawn
25:41
in
25:41
his
25:41
hand
25:42
and
25:43
Joshua
25:43
went
25:43
to
25:44
him
25:44
and
25:44
said
25:44
said
25:45
to
25:45
him
25:46
are
25:46
you
25:47
for
25:47
us
25:47
or
25:48
for
25:48
our
25:48
adversaries
25:49
and
25:50
he
25:50
said
25:51
no
25:51
but
25:53
I
25:54
am
25:54
the
25:54
commander
25:54
of
25:55
the
25:55
army
25:55
of
25:55
the
25:55
Lord
25:56
now
25:57
I
25:57
have
25:57
come
25:58
and
25:59
Joshua
25:59
fell
26:00
on his
26:00
face
26:00
to the
26:01
earth
26:01
and
26:01
worshipped
26:02
!
26:02
and
26:02
said
26:02
to
26:02
him
26:03
what
26:03
does
26:04
my
26:04
Lord
26:04
say
26:05
to
26:05
his
26:05
servant
26:05
and
26:07
the
26:07
commander
26:07
of
26:07
the
26:07
Lord's
26:08
army
26:08
said
26:08
to
26:09
Joshua
26:09
take
26:09
off
26:10
your
26:10
sandals
26:10
take
26:10
the
26:11
sandals
26:11
off
26:11
your
26:11
feet
26:12
for
26:12
the
26:12
place
26:13
where
26:13
you
26:13
are
26:13
standing
26:14
is
26:14
holy
26:15
and
26:16
Joshua
26:16
did
26:17
so
26:17
so
26:19
some
26:20
people
26:20
believe
26:23
that
26:23
this
26:24
was
26:24
what
26:25
they
26:25
call
26:25
a
26:25
Christophany
26:26
an
26:27
earlier
26:28
appearance
26:29
of
26:29
the
26:30
Son
26:31
of
26:31
God
26:31
possibly
26:32
before
26:33
his
26:34
incarnation
26:34
the
26:36
arguments
26:36
for that
26:37
I think
26:37
are strong
26:38
I won't
26:38
go far
26:38
to say
26:39
it
26:39
but
26:39
if
26:39
you
26:39
look
26:40
at
26:40
where
26:40
it
26:41
says
26:41
that
26:41
he
26:41
is
26:41
the
26:41
commander
26:42
of
26:42
the
26:42
Lord's
26:43
army
26:43
we
26:44
know
26:44
that
26:45
in
26:45
revelation
26:45
Christ
26:46
is
26:46
the
26:46
one
26:47
leading
26:47
the
26:49
armies
26:49
of
26:50
heaven
26:50
to
26:51
bring
26:51
judgment
26:51
upon
26:52
the
26:52
earth
26:52
he
26:53
fell
26:54
down
26:54
to
26:54
his
26:54
face
26:54
and
26:54
worship
26:55
and
26:55
we
26:55
know
26:55
that
26:56
if
26:56
it
26:56
was
26:56
just
26:56
an
26:56
angel
26:57
what
26:57
always
26:57
happens
26:57
like
26:57
no
26:58
no
26:58
no
26:58
get
26:58
up
26:58
you're
26:58
not
26:59
supposed
26:59
to
27:00
worship
27:00
me
27:00
I'm
27:00
only
27:01
an
27:02
angel
27:02
but
27:02
he
27:02
allowed
27:03
him
27:03
to
27:03
worship
27:04
then
27:05
he
27:05
heard
27:05
the
27:05
familiar
27:06
phrase
27:06
that
27:06
he
27:06
know
27:07
his
27:07
master
27:08
Moses
27:09
had
27:09
told
27:09
him
27:10
take
27:10
the
27:11
sandals
27:11
off
27:11
your
27:11
feet
27:12
from
27:12
where
27:12
you
27:12
!
27:12
standing
27:13
is
27:13
holy
27:13
who
27:16
knows
27:22
instructions
27:23
on
27:23
what
27:23
to
27:23
do
27:24
but
27:24
there
27:25
were
27:25
a lot
27:25
of
27:25
obstacles
27:26
to
27:26
this
27:26
in
27:26
the
27:26
natural
27:27
realm
27:27
this
27:27
was
27:27
a
27:27
crazy
27:28
idea
27:28
to
27:29
attack
27:29
Jericho
27:31
I
27:32
could
27:32
go
27:32
into
27:33
the
27:33
details
27:33
of
27:33
how
27:33
strong
27:34
the
27:34
fortifications
27:35
were
27:35
which
27:35
I
27:35
have
27:36
here
27:36
but
27:36
I
27:36
will
27:36
spare
27:37
you
27:37
that
27:37
just
27:37
for
27:38
time
27:38
sake
27:38
but
27:39
it
27:39
was
27:40
a
27:40
crazy
27:40
fortress
27:41
a
27:41
lot
27:42
of
27:42
modern
27:42
day
27:43
archaeologists
27:44
have
27:44
know
27:45
where
27:45
Jericho
27:46
is
27:46
and
27:47
they've
27:47
confirmed
27:48
a lot
27:49
of
27:49
the
27:49
stuff
27:49
the
27:49
bible
27:50
said
27:50
about
27:50
it
27:50
it
27:50
was
27:50
a
27:51
strong
27:51
fortified
27:52
city
27:52
that
27:53
the
27:53
attack
27:53
occurred
27:54
right
27:54
before
27:54
the
27:55
harvest
27:55
time
27:55
it
27:56
was
27:56
a
27:57
short
27:57
siege
27:58
the
27:59
walls
27:59
were
27:59
leveled
28:01
and
28:01
listen
28:01
to this
28:01
the
28:01
city
28:02
was
28:02
not
28:02
plundered
28:03
that's
28:05
odd
28:05
and
28:06
the
28:06
city
28:06
was
28:06
not
28:07
burned
28:07
and
28:08
one
28:09
archaeologist
28:09
said
28:11
this
28:11
giving
28:11
testimony
28:13
to the
28:13
biblical
28:13
account
28:14
as
28:15
to
28:15
the
28:16
fact
28:16
then
28:16
there
28:16
remains
28:17
no
28:17
doubt
28:17
the
28:17
walls
28:18
of
28:18
this
28:18
city
28:19
fell
28:19
outwards
28:20
so
28:21
completely
28:21
the
28:22
attackers
28:22
were
28:22
able
28:23
to
28:23
clamber
28:23
up
28:24
over
28:24
the
28:24
ruins
28:24
into
28:25
the
28:25
city
28:25
why
28:27
so
28:27
unusual
28:27
because
28:28
the
28:29
walls
28:29
of
28:29
cities
28:30
do
28:30
not
28:30
fall
28:30
outwards
28:31
they
28:31
fall
28:31
inwards
28:32
ever
28:33
thought
28:33
about
28:33
that
28:34
always
28:35
knocked
28:35
down
28:36
these
28:36
like
28:36
it
28:36
just
28:37
unfolded
28:37
like
28:38
a
28:38
flower
28:38
and
28:39
people
28:40
just
28:40
come
28:40
right
28:41
up
28:41
into
28:41
the
28:41
city
28:41
that's
28:43
what
28:43
he
28:43
said
28:44
is
28:44
very
28:44
odd
28:44
like
28:45
how
28:45
this
28:45
looks
28:47
did
28:47
the
28:48
biblical
28:48
account
28:48
so
28:49
they
28:50
walked
28:50
around
28:50
for
28:51
seven
28:51
days
28:51
and
28:52
finally
28:52
on
28:53
the
28:53
seventh
28:53
the
28:54
trumpets
28:55
blew
28:55
and
28:55
the
28:55
cry
28:55
went
28:56
out
28:56
let
28:56
go
28:56
for
28:57
the
28:57
Lord
28:57
has
28:57
given
28:57
you
28:58
the
28:58
city
28:58
so
29:00
what
29:00
crazy
29:02
imagery
29:02
that
29:02
would
29:02
have
29:03
been
29:03
but
29:03
we
29:03
see
29:04
that
29:04
true
29:05
faith
29:05
true
29:06
faith
29:06
leads
29:07
to
29:07
obedience
29:08
he
29:08
did
29:08
exactly
29:09
what
29:09
God
29:09
said
29:10
exactly
29:10
they
29:11
didn't
29:11
try
29:11
to
29:11
negotiate
29:12
it
29:12
or
29:12
compromise
29:13
it
29:13
but
29:13
they
29:13
followed
29:13
his
29:14
instructions
29:14
to
29:15
the
29:15
letter
29:16
in
29:16
faith
29:17
but
29:18
also
29:18
their
29:19
faith
29:19
was
29:19
focused
29:20
on
29:20
the
29:20
presence
29:21
of
29:21
God
29:21
now
29:23
what
29:23
was
29:23
the
29:24
ark
29:24
doing
29:24
the
29:24
ark
29:25
was
29:25
in
29:25
the
29:25
front
29:25
right
29:26
and
29:27
it
29:27
was
29:27
serving
29:27
as
29:28
a
29:28
physical
29:28
reminder
29:29
that
29:30
God's
29:30
presence
29:31
is
29:31
with
29:31
you
29:31
the
29:32
ark
29:32
is
29:33
mentioned
29:33
11
29:33
times
29:34
in
29:34
that
29:34
account
29:35
which
29:35
I
29:35
think
29:35
is
29:36
trying
29:36
to
29:36
give
29:36
emphasis
29:37
to
29:37
the
29:37
fact
29:37
that
29:37
this
29:38
was
29:38
a
29:39
visual
29:39
thing
29:41
they
29:41
could
29:41
look
29:41
at
29:42
and
29:42
say
29:42
God's
29:42
presence
29:43
is
29:43
with
29:43
us
29:44
and
29:45
so
29:45
if
29:46
we're
29:46
going
29:46
to
29:46
have
29:47
true
29:47
faith
29:47
we
29:49
have
29:49
to
29:49
obey
29:49
God
29:50
take
29:50
him
29:50
at
29:51
his
29:51
word
29:51
don't
29:53
say
29:53
that
29:54
we
29:54
have
29:54
faith
29:54
in
29:55
what
29:55
he
29:55
says
29:55
and
29:55
then
29:55
do
29:56
the
29:56
opposite
29:56
but
29:57
true
29:57
faith
29:58
takes
29:58
God
29:58
his
29:59
word
29:59
and
29:59
is
29:59
obedient
30:00
to
30:00
it
30:00
and
30:01
it
30:01
focuses
30:02
on
30:02
the
30:02
unseen
30:03
presence
30:04
of
30:04
God
30:05
and
30:05
it
30:05
cultivates
30:06
that
30:07
awareness
30:07
of
30:07
God's
30:08
presence
30:08
how
30:09
different
30:10
would
30:10
your
30:10
life
30:11
be
30:11
and
30:11
mine
30:11
if
30:11
we
30:11
just
30:12
took
30:12
that
30:12
idea
30:12
of
30:13
God's
30:13
presence
30:13
and
30:14
just
30:15
focused
30:15
on
30:15
that
30:16
for
30:16
a
30:16
week
30:16
and
30:17
look
30:18
at
30:18
what
30:18
scripture
30:19
had
30:19
to
30:19
say
30:19
about
30:19
the
30:20
presence
30:20
of
30:21
God
30:21
that
30:22
he
30:22
is
30:22
with
30:22
us
30:22
and
30:23
in
30:23
us
30:23
how
30:25
differently
30:25
would
30:25
our
30:25
lives
30:26
be
30:26
so
30:28
by
30:29
faith
30:30
Joshua
30:30
and
30:31
the
30:31
people
30:31
of
30:31
Israel
30:32
started
30:33
the
30:33
conquest
30:34
so
30:36
lastly
30:37
thirdly
30:37
these
30:38
could
30:38
all be
30:39
individual
30:39
sermons
30:40
the
30:40
book
30:42
that
30:42
we've
30:42
kind
30:42
of
30:42
followed
30:43
just
30:43
for
30:43
an
30:43
outline
30:44
has
30:44
these
30:44
three
30:44
different
30:45
chapters
30:45
I was
30:46
like
30:46
going
30:46
trying to
30:47
cram
30:47
three
30:48
into
30:48
one
30:48
here
30:48
but
30:49
number
30:50
three
30:51
and
30:51
lastly
30:51
by
30:52
faith
30:53
Rahab
30:54
by
30:55
faith
30:56
Rahab
30:56
verse
30:56
31
30:57
by
30:57
faith
30:57
Rahab
30:58
the
30:59
prostitute
30:59
did
31:00
not
31:00
perish
31:01
with
31:01
those
31:01
who
31:01
were
31:01
disobedient
31:02
because
31:02
she
31:03
had
31:03
given
31:04
a
31:04
friendly
31:04
welcome
31:05
to
31:06
the
31:06
spies
31:06
so
31:08
my
31:10
heart
31:11
is
31:11
moved
31:11
when I
31:11
think
31:12
about
31:12
this
31:12
woman
31:12
clearly
31:14
an
31:16
outcast
31:16
and
31:16
lowest
31:17
of
31:17
society
31:17
even
31:18
to
31:18
a
31:18
pagan
31:19
ancient
31:19
people
31:20
she
31:21
would
31:21
have
31:21
been
31:21
at
31:21
the
31:21
bottom
31:21
right
31:24
as
31:25
as
31:25
it's
31:25
true
31:26
in
31:26
many
31:26
cases
31:26
who
31:27
knows
31:27
maybe
31:27
she
31:27
was
31:28
forced
31:28
into
31:28
that
31:28
to
31:28
provide
31:29
for
31:29
herself
31:30
or
31:30
her
31:30
family
31:30
but
31:32
nevertheless
31:32
in the
31:33
ancient
31:33
world
31:33
she would
31:33
be
31:34
looked
31:34
upon
31:34
as
31:35
dishonorable
31:36
and not
31:37
valuable
31:37
to that
31:38
society
31:38
an
31:39
outcast
31:40
and
31:42
remember
31:42
the
31:42
story
31:43
the
31:43
spies
31:43
went
31:43
in
31:44
to
31:44
look
31:44
at
31:44
Jericho
31:46
to
31:47
take
31:47
an
31:47
assessment
31:48
and
31:49
it
31:49
was
31:49
discovered
31:50
so
31:51
they
31:51
fled
31:51
to
31:51
the
31:51
house
31:52
of
31:52
Rahab
31:52
and
31:52
she
31:53
hid
31:53
them
31:53
she
31:54
took
31:54
them
31:54
on
31:54
the
31:54
roof
31:55
and
31:55
hid
31:55
them
31:55
under
31:56
the
31:56
flax
31:57
thatches
31:58
and
32:00
lied
32:01
and
32:01
sent
32:02
off
32:03
the
32:03
guards
32:03
to
32:03
look
32:04
somewhere
32:04
else
32:04
and
32:06
I
32:06
was

account
32:08
some
32:08
of
32:09
the
32:09
stuff
32:09
that
32:09
she
32:09
says
32:10
but
32:11
some
32:11
people
32:11
would
32:11
say
32:12
a
32:12
skeptic
32:13
may
32:13
say
32:13
well
32:13
her
32:14
faith
32:15
was
32:15
just
32:15
for
32:15
her
32:15
own
32:16
her
32:17
own
32:17
life
32:18
she
32:18
didn't
32:18
want
32:18
to
32:18
die
32:18
and
32:19
she
32:20
didn't
32:20
want
32:20
her
32:20
family
32:20
to
32:21
die
32:21
it
32:21
was
32:21
just
32:21
self
32:21
preservation
32:22
it
32:22
wasn't
32:22
like
32:23
you
32:23
really
32:23
believed
32:24
in
32:24
the
32:24
God
32:24
of
32:24
Israel
32:25
but
32:26
not
32:26
true
32:26
not
32:27
true
32:27
at
32:27
all
32:28
she
32:29
says
32:30
in
32:30
Joshua
32:30
chapter
32:31
2
32:31
I
32:32
know
32:32
that
32:32
the
32:33
Lord
32:33
has
32:33
given
32:33
you
32:34
the
32:34
land
32:34
and
32:34
that
32:35
the
32:35
fear
32:35
of
32:35
you
32:36
has
32:36
fallen
32:36
upon
32:36
us
32:37
and
32:38
that
32:38
all
32:38
the
32:39
inhabitants
32:39
of
32:39
the
32:39
land
32:40
melt
32:40
away
32:41
before
32:41
you
32:41
for
32:42
we
32:42
have
32:43
heard
32:43
how
32:43
the
32:44
Lord
32:44
dried
32:44
up
32:44
the
32:45
water
32:45
the
32:45
Red
32:45
Sea
32:45
before
32:46
you
32:46
when
32:47
you
32:47
came
32:47
out
32:48
of
32:48
Egypt
32:48
and
32:49
he
32:49
says
32:50
this
32:50
here
32:50
and
32:51
as
32:52
soon
32:52
as
32:52
we
32:52
heard
32:52
it
32:52
our
32:53
hearts
32:53
melted
32:54
and
32:55
there
32:55
was
32:55
no
32:55
spirit
32:56
left
32:56
in
32:56
any
32:57
man
32:57
because
32:57
of
32:57
you
32:58
for
32:58
the
32:59
Lord
32:59
your
32:59
God
32:59
he
33:00
is
33:00
the
33:00
God
33:00
of
33:00
heaven
33:01
above
33:01
and
33:02
on
33:02
the
33:02
earth
33:03
beneath
33:03
and
33:04
so
33:04
she
33:05
pleads
33:05
with
33:05
them
33:06
because
33:07
she
33:08
helped
33:08
them
33:08
to
33:09
spare
33:09
!
33:09
her
33:10
and
33:10
her
33:10
family
33:11
and
33:11
they
33:11
agree
33:11
and
33:12
they
33:13
told
33:13
her
33:13
to
33:13
hang
33:13
a
33:13
scarlet
33:14
cord
33:14
outside
33:14
her
33:15
window
33:15
so
33:15
that
33:16
when
33:16
the
33:17
invasion
33:17
or
33:18
the
33:18
conquest
33:18
happened
33:19
that
33:19
they
33:19
would
33:19
be
33:19
spared
33:20
and
33:21
they
33:21
were
33:21
they
33:22
kept
33:22
their
33:22
word
33:22
she
33:23
was
33:24
spared
33:24
among
33:24
the
33:24
inhabitants
33:25
of
33:25
Jericho
33:26
she
33:26
was
33:26
delivered
33:27
by
33:27
her
33:27
faith
33:28
but
33:29
furthermore
33:30
the
33:31
rest
33:31
of
33:31
scripture
33:31
points
33:32
out
33:32
that
33:33
she
33:33
was
33:33
redeemed
33:34
she
33:34
had
33:34
true
33:35
saving
33:35
faith
33:36
in
33:36
the
33:36
God
33:37
of
33:37
Israel
33:37
it
33:38
wasn't
33:38
just
33:38
I
33:39
don't
33:39
want
33:39
to
33:39
die
33:39
so
33:40
whatever
33:40
I
33:40
got
33:40
her
33:40
do
33:40
not
33:41
to
33:41
die
33:41
it
33:42
was
33:42
a
33:42
true
33:42
saving
33:43
faith
33:43
she
33:44
brought
33:45
up
33:45
several
33:45
other
33:46
times
33:46
in
33:47
the
33:47
scripture
33:48
one
33:48
in
33:48
James
33:49
chapter
33:49
two
33:49
and
33:50
it
33:50
says
33:51
that
33:51
she
33:51
was
33:52
justified
33:52
not
33:53
by
33:53
her
33:53
worth
33:54
but
33:55
by
33:55
her
33:55
faith
33:56
I'll
33:57
read
33:57
it
33:57
to
33:57
you
33:57
right
33:57
here
33:57
it
33:58
said
33:58
at
33:58
the
33:58
same
33:58
time
33:59
not
33:59
also
34:00
Rahab
34:00
the
34:01
prostitute
34:01
justified
34:03
by
34:03
her
34:04
works
34:04
when
34:04
she
34:04
received
34:05
the
34:05
messengers
34:05
and
34:07
sent
34:07
them
34:07
out
34:07
by
34:08
another
34:08
way
34:08
for
34:09
as
34:09
a
34:10
body
34:10
apart
34:11
from
34:11
the
34:11
spirit
34:11
is
34:11
dead
34:12
so
34:12
also
34:12
faith
34:13
apart
34:13
from
34:14
works
34:14
is
34:14
dead
34:15
and
34:16
most
34:16
of
34:16
you
34:16
know
34:17
what
34:17
that
34:17
means
34:17
but
34:17
really
34:18
her
34:19
faith
34:19
was
34:19
displayed
34:20
in
34:20
her
34:20
obedience
34:21
and
34:21
her
34:21
actions
34:22
she
34:22
displayed
34:23
actions
34:24
as
34:25
such
34:25
to
34:25
where
34:25
she
34:25
believed
34:26
and
34:26
what
34:27
was
34:27
said
34:28
about
34:28
the
34:28
God
34:28
of
34:29
Israel
34:29
and
34:31
astoundingly
34:32
I'll
34:33
save
34:33
you
34:33
from
34:34
turning
34:34
to
34:34
this
34:34
as
34:34
well
34:35
but
34:35
in
34:35
Matthew
34:35
if
34:36
you
34:36
want
34:36
to
34:36
write
34:36
it
34:36
down
34:36
Matthew
34:37
chapter
34:38
one
34:38
verses
34:39
four
34:39
through
34:39
six
34:40
she
34:42
was
34:42
redeemed
34:43
but
34:43
man
34:43
she
34:43
was
34:44
also
34:44
honored
34:45
she
34:46
was
34:46
honored
34:47
not
34:49
just
34:49
in
34:50
James
34:50
but
34:50
she's
34:51
mentioned
34:51
in
34:51
the
34:52
blood
34:52
line
34:52
of
34:53
the
34:53
king
34:53
of
34:54
kings
34:54
she's
34:54
mentioned
34:55
in
34:55
the
34:56
blood
34:56
line
34:56
of
34:56
Jesus
34:57
it
34:58
says
34:58
in
35:00
Matthew
35:00
chapter
35:01
one
35:01
going
35:02
through
35:02
the
35:03
genealogy
35:03
it
35:04
says
35:05
the
35:05
father
35:05
of
35:06
Boaz
35:06
by
35:06
Rahab
35:07
and
35:09
Boaz
35:09
the
35:10
father
35:10
of
35:10
Obed
35:11
by
35:11
Ruth
35:11
and
35:12
Obed
35:13
the
35:13
father
35:13
of
35:14
Jesse
35:14
and
35:15
Jesse
35:15
the
35:15
father
35:16
of
35:16
David
35:16
the
35:17
king
35:17
so
35:19
she
35:19
is
35:19
mentioned
35:20
in
35:20
the
35:20
blood
35:21
line
35:21
of
35:21
our
35:22
Lord
35:22
so
35:23
she
35:23
was
35:23
redeemed
35:24
and
35:24
she
35:24
was
35:24
honored
35:25
what a
35:26
great
35:26
honor
35:26
that
35:26
was
35:27
so
35:28
in
35:28
conclusion
35:29
just
35:31
want us
35:31
to
35:32
think
35:32
about
35:32
a
35:32
few
35:32
things
35:33
if
35:35
you're
35:36
still
35:36
looking
35:36
to
35:37
the
35:37
fleeting
35:37
pleasures
35:38
of
35:38
this
35:38
world
35:38
look
35:39
to
35:39
Moses
35:40
as
35:41
an
35:41
example
35:41
because
35:43
he
35:43
trusted
35:43
in
35:44
the
35:44
God
35:44
who
35:45
was
35:45
unseen
35:45
and
35:46
he
35:46
walked
35:46
away
35:47
from
35:47
all
35:48
the
35:48
sinful
35:48
pleasures
35:49
of
35:49
this
35:50
world
35:50
and
35:51
had
35:51
faith
35:52
in
35:52
the
35:53
promises
35:53
of
35:53
God
35:54
and
35:54
he
35:54
bore
35:54
the
35:55
reproach
35:56
of
35:57
Christ
35:57
so
35:59
do
35:59
you
35:59
believe
36:00
that
36:00
would
36:00
your
36:01
life
36:01
display
36:01
that
36:02
when
36:05
people
36:05
say
36:05
you
36:05
man
36:05
you
36:06
were
36:06
you
36:06
have
36:06
lost
36:07
it
36:07
because
36:07
you've
36:07
left
36:08
all
36:08
these
36:08
things
36:08
that
36:09
we
36:09
enjoy
36:09
so
36:09
much
36:10
behind
36:10
to
36:11
follow
36:13
a
36:14
God
36:14
that
36:14
is
36:14
unseen
36:15
and
36:16
then
36:17
also
36:17
if
36:17
you
36:17
think
36:18
that
36:18
you're
36:18
outside
36:18
of
36:19
the
36:19
grace
36:19
of
36:19
God
36:20
or
36:20
that
36:20
even
36:21
as
36:21
a
36:21
believer
36:22
you've
36:22
lived
36:22
in
36:22
such
36:23
a
36:23
way
36:23
that
36:23
God
36:23
has
36:24
now
36:24
cast
36:24
you
36:24
aside
36:27
who
36:57
let's
36:58
just
36:58
ask
36:58
God
36:59
to
36:59
help
36:59
him
36:59
apply
37:00
his
37:00
word
37:00
to
37:00
our
37:00
hearts
