On God’s Side

Discuss

Are you someone who can fall asleep anywhere, or do you stuggle to fall asleep?

What are the things that keep you up at night?

Study

Read Joshua 2:1-13
What do we learn about God in this story? What do we learn about people?

Why do you suppose Rahab felt safe harboring two spies?

Why do those in Jericho feel the way they do about the Israelites (vv. 9-11)?

Given her disreputable occupation and her obvious lie, what in this story builds Rahab’s reputation as a woman of faith (see Hebrews 11:30-31: James 2:24-26)? How do you react to Rahab’s joining the Israelites after the fall of Jericho (Joshua 6:22-25) and being mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus (Matthew 1:1-5)?
