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
