The Harlot Who Outwitted a King — The Untold Story of Rahab

High on the wall of a doomed city, a woman tied a scarlet cord in her window and staked her life on a God she had only heard about in rumors. The Bible does not hide what she was. She was a prostitute. And she became one of the great heroes of faith in all of Scripture — and an ancestor of Jesus Christ himself.
Tonight we journey back to the walls of ancient Jericho to tell the complete story of Rahab: the Canaanite woman who hid the Israelite spies, defied her king, and was saved when her city fell. We trace how this outsider, despised by her own society, was woven into the line of King David and named in the genealogy of the Messiah, honored across the ages as a model of faith and courage.
This is a contemplative story of grace reaching the unlikeliest of people, of faith that transforms a life, and of the truth that no one is ever beyond redemption.
