Title: The Red Thread
Date: 10/13/24, 10am, Sunday Sermon
Speaker: Pastor Derrel Strickland
Summary: This week's message from Pastor Derrel Strickland, part of our journey through the Book of Joshua, brings us to an intriguing story about Rahab and the significance of the red thread. Rahab, a woman of faith, helped the Israelite spies and marked her window with a scarlet cord—a symbol of her faith and a promise of safety. Pastor Derrel emphasized that the red thread symbolizes the sacrifice and salvation offered through Jesus, showing how faith in Him liberates us from sin. The story of Rahab encourages us all to hold onto our faith and trust in the red thread of Christ's sacrifice, which spans from Genesis through Revelation. The core takeaway is that, like Rahab, we must immediately act on our faith and trust in God's promises.
