The Story | Am I Good Enough For God? | Chapter 7
Beginnings: How God Got Things Started, A Chosen People.
A Canaanite sex worker, Rahab seemed as far from God as a person could be. But Rahab trusted that God would save her, and he did. God rescued Rahab from shame and into a whole new life with a whole new family. That’s what he does for us, too.

Chapter 7: Joshua 2:8-21
- As you look at our world today, what “Jerichos” do you see—those places where people get stuck in abuse and shame?
- Read Hebrews 11:31. Why is it significant that Rahab’s name appears in this list of Israel’s heroes of the faith?
- What do we learn about God from Rahab’s story?
- Rahab’s story can be told in three words: shame; trust; rescue. What three words would you use to tell your story?
- Who are you praying will trust Jesus to rescue them, like Rahab did? Is there an opportunity for you to listen to them, eat a meal (or grab a coffee!) with them, serve them, or share your faith with them?
Bonus: Is there a place of shame in your life? If so, what do you think God is inviting you to do about that this week? Who can you commit to talking with about this?
