KEY LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

1) What is meaning of redemption? How do we redeem the times?

Redemption is the process of saving or buying something that appears to have no value, and giving it value for a purpose. In the case of Christians, living our lives through Christ to the glory of God.

Taking opportunity in everything is how we redeem the time. No matter how we feel or what we go through, we re-align our life with what Christ is calling us to do.

2) What can we learn about redemption through Rahab?
* Biblical reference... Joshua 2:1-2, 6-13
* Redemption can reach anyone who obeys what God has said. Despite persecuting the church, even Paul was a beneficiary of God's grace and mercy.

3) What can we learn about redemption through the spies of Israel?
* Biblical reference... Numbers 13:1-3, 21-31; John 10:27
* Know God's voice because the Lord told Israel, "I am giving you this land."
* Complete redemption uses faith, and not visual eye-sight. (2 Corinthians 5:7)

4) What can we learn about redemption through Naaman's maiden?
* Biblical reference... 2 Kings 5:1-3
* The righteous are not exempt from falling, but find power to stand up again (Proverbs 24:16)
* A deep-rooted focus on the goal of God that you trust him to resolve all your obstacles. (Philippians 1:6)

5) What can we learn about redemption through the apostle Paul in prison?
* Biblical reference... Acts 16:20-33
* Stay the course and do God's will no matter how dire the circumstances. (Romans 8:18)
* Our Godly influence is a legacy that lives on after our death. In Josh 1:1-2, because of the Moses' influence, Joshua was able to step right up.
