    Sermon Notes

    God is in the business of overturning our perceptions of value.

    Fatih involves three verb:
    • Believing - Count something to be true.
    • Belonging - Relating to what you believe.
    • Behaving - Acting according to what you belong too.

    Believing
    The first person in the land of Israel, to profess the God of Israel, was a Canaanite, female sex worker.

    The quantity of our faith doesn’t save us: it’s the quality of our faith. It’s not the strength of our faith that saves us. It’s the strength of the one we put our faith in.

    Belonging
    The ultimate outsider comes into the fold of God.

    Why is Rahab’s story included in the book of Joshua? It shows us that the most unlikely and immoral people can advance the purposes of God.

    People of profound difference can be woven into the fabric of a community.

    Christin community is not about uniformity, it’s about unity that overflows in Christ.

    Behaving
    Faith is in internal thing. But we cling to signs that reflect this inner reality.

    They remind us of who we are, where we’re going, and who is toward us.
