04/19/2026 Strong and Courageous | Faith That Sees

Joshua 2

Joshua is the story of how God teaches ordinary people to live strong & courageous lives.

Courage grows out of faith that sees.

FAITH SEES BEFORE IT SEES! Faith that sees believes what is true about God and acts on it, before circumstances change.

Rahab had a divine appointment that she acted on in faith.

Faith that sees:

1. Sees God clearly. …”I know that the LORD has given you the land…” 2:9a Faith isn’t about seeing everything clearly. It’s about seeing God clearly.

2. Sees fear differently.  “…all who live in this country are melting in fear…” 2:9b  Faith doesn’t remove fear, it redirects it. Courage is not the absence of fear, it’s overcoming fear through faith. Every fear we face bows before God.

3. Sees the need to act. Rahab…was shown to be right with God by her actions… James 2:25  see also Hebrews 11:31

Faith isn’t just something you believe, it’s something you build your life on.

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1
