Joshua 2:1-24 | The Fear of the Lord | Alex Culpepper
September 27, 2026
What do you fear most? In Joshua 2, Rahab finds herself caught between the power of the king of Jericho and the greater power of the God of Israel. While the rest of Jericho is terrified of what God might do, Rahab responds differently: she recognizes who God is, trusts what He has said, and surrenders herself to Him.
In this message, we explore what it really means to fear the Lord, how our fears reveal what we value most, and why genuine fear of God leads not to hopeless terror but to faith, surrender, and salvation.
Rahab’s story reminds us that God is already at work before we ever see it—and that no one is beyond the reach of His mercy.
