YPM Camp 2005

unlikely history maker

that's the title for the sermon on Friday morning (16 Dec. 2005)....
Chye Aik shared it in the spirit of encouraging us - especially towards the female campers in the camp...

Title: Unlikely History Maker
There are different kinds of Heroes.
The heroes in the bible often don't have good background, charisma, or looks...
The World's heroes - stylish, packaged, strong
The Word's heroes - not impressive, not eloquent (e.g. Paul)

RAHAB Jos. 2

• prostitute background.
  deepest sin is self-righteousness: prostituted mind, spirit, emotions
• lived in Jericho.
  difficulties, obstacles, barriers, troubles
  life full of problems everywhere
• lied to the king in Jericho.

Rahab encountered the grace and mercy of God.
Threw away her old form of life and began to live a new life.
Eventually married an Israelite... Ruth.... King David...
Matthew 1:5 - She was a great-great-great-...-great-grandmother of Jesus Christ :)
Hebrews 11 - She was named among the great heroes of faith.
If God can use Rahab... God can make you into an unlikely history-maker too.
