Rahab
• Matthew
1:4 & 5a
Who is Rahab?
Why is it unusual for her to be listed in the genealogy of
Jesus?
·
Hebrews
11:31
What was Rahab?
What did she do by faith?
What was she protected from because of her action?
What were those in Jericho called?
In your opinion, is it harder to have faith in God if you
are among people who believe in other gods?
James 2:25
What did the giving lodging and guidance to the spies bring
to Rahab?
Joshua 2
Who went to the house of Rahab?
Why did the king of Jericho want them?
In your opinion, what would have happened to the spies if the king of Jericho got them?
In your opinion, what would happen to Rahab if the king of Jericho found out that she was protecting the spies?
Where were the spies when the king’s representatives ask about them?
What did Rahab tell the king’s representatives?
What advice did she give the king’s representatives?
In the conversation that Rahab had with the spies:
What
did she say about the Lord and the land?
How do the people of the country feel about the nation of Israel?
What miracles does she reference?
How did the people of Jericho respond to the miracles?
What does she say about God?
What does she ask for?
How do the spies respond?
How does Rahab continue to assist the spies?
What do the men say to Rahab?
In your opinion, is there a similarity between the blood above the doors at the Passover in Egypt?
How about with the blood of Jesus at Calvary?
What does Rahab and her family have to do to stay safe?
Did the spies follow Rahab’s advice?
Was her advice good?
How did Joshua respond to the news that the spies gave?
James 2:14-26
What is this passage in James about?
Who, in addition to Rahab, is presented in this as an example?
What is the message of the 26th verse?
What did Rahab say about God in her discussion with the spies?
Do you think that her belief about God was the reason for her actions?
Where does Matthew including Rahab in the ancestry of Jesus
lead us in understanding Jesus?
