Icebreaker: What's something you were sure was going to be a disaster but ended up being surprisingly good?
Looking at the Passage- Read Joshua 2:1-14, 22-24
Look closely at verses 9–11. What does Rahab know and believe about Yahweh?
Compare the spies’ report in Joshua 2:24 with the report of the spies in Numbers 13:27–33. What differences do you notice?
Rahab had heard the stories of what God had done, and those stories led her to believe they were true.
What does that tell us about the importance of remembering and telling the stories of God’s faithfulness?
What stories of God’s faithfulness have strengthened your faith when you needed courage?
There is great irony here: a Canaanite woman is reminding Israelites of what is true about their God. What do you think God wanted Israel to see through that?
How do you think Rahab’s words influenced the message these spies delivered to Joshua?
Digging Deeper
Who are you tempted to believe is too far from God, too messy, or too unlikely to be used by Him? How does Rahab challenge those assumptions?
The person who initially appears to be a danger to the spies becomes the very person God uses to protect and encourage them.
When have you seen God use an unexpected person, circumstance, or even something difficult to move you closer to Him?
Is there an area of your life where you might be underestimating the power of God’s grace right now?
PRAYER
