There are many heroes we look up to in the Bible – Abraham, Moses, David, John the Baptist, Peter, Paul, and of course, Jesus – just to name a few. But who are the unsung heroes? This week we kick off a new series which will take a closer look at some important, but obscure figures who made a significant impact on biblical history. We start off with Rahab, a woman whose dubious reputation did not stop her from declaring her faith in Yahweh, in word and deed, when it mattered most.

Joshua 2:2-3 The king of Jericho sends for Rahab.

Joshua 2:12-14 Rahab makes an agreement with the spies.
Joshua 2:15-16 Rahab helps the spies escape and gives them instructions.
