Joshua 7 Rahab v. Achan

Joshua 7 is the story of God standing against Israel because of the sin of Achan. This sermon compares Rahab (the Canaanite who was to be devoted to destruction) and Achan (a son of Israel, a child of the covenantal promises). Yet it is Rahab the prostitute who inherits the promise and not the member of the tribe of Judah. This demonstrates that salvation is by faith and that faith demonstrates itself in actions.
