RAHAB: 1. The Visit


Today we start a teaching series on Rahab, A woman with a past, to whom God gave a future. The series consists of 6 studies. Let’s dig in to the Word of God!

1.THE VISIT

 SEEK GOD’S WORD FOR TRUTH
 Read the following passage
JOSHUA 2:1-7

Joshua secretly sent two men to spy out Jericho. What things in this passage indicate that this mission was not a secret to the citizens of Jericho?

Where did the spies go?

Who is Rahab? How does she make her living?

According to this passage, how did the king of Jericho view these two “visitors?”

How did Rahab perceive these visitors?

Contrast the king’s and Rahab’s responses to the visitors.

FIND GOD’S WAYS FOR YOU
Most of us will never face an invading army as Rahab did, but we do face overwhelming situations of other kinds. What kinds of problems are you facing right now? What kinds of choices do you have?

Read the following passage:
So, if any one of YOU is lacking in wisdom, let him keep on asking God, for he gives generously to all and without reproaching; and it will be given him. But let him keep on asking in faith, not doubting at all, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and blown about. In fact, let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from Jehovah; he is an indecisive man, unsteady in all his ways.
JAMES 1:5-8

What does this passage tell you to do?

What warning do you find?

STOP AND PONDER

How are you wavering in your decisions?
