AN OVERVIEW OF RAHAB’S STORY

Rahab the prostitute rescues the Israelite spies (Joshua 2:1-7)

Rahab the prostitute is an ancestor of Jesus

RAHAB WAS A WOMAN OF FAITH WHO…

Believed the truth about God (Joshua 2:9b-11)

Pondered the significance of what she believed (Joshua 2:11b; Romans 10:17)

Put her faith into action

NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, YOU SHOULD TRUST AND OBEY THE LORD

There is room for even the worst sinners in God’s family

People we know need to hear this message

BE WILLING TO GO AGAINST THE GRAIN

We need to believe and act upon the truth, even if no one else is willing to do so

How might we need to go against the grain?


May the Lord help us be unlikely faith heroes
