Do you ever feel like God couldn’t possibly love you? Courageous people forget the past, forgive themselves and begin again. Rahab's story is a story of grace, redemption and new beginnings. This message relates the salvation of Rahab to a Christian's salvation experience.

After the fall of Babylon, God began restoring Judah and Jerusalem. Nehemiah was used by God to rebuild the walls around Jerusalem but it didn't come with out adversity. Nehemiah's story teaches us that courageous people push through adversity and resist the temptation to compromise or quit.

In Daniel 3, 3 Hebrew exiles in the Babylonian Empire chose to take a stand for God even when others would not. Their faith in the fire was brave and it teaches us something about our own faith. Faith believes God can, expects God will but trusts God when He doesn’t.
