Scriptures
- James 2:21-26, Joshua 2:8-14, Philippians 3:13-14
Discussion Questions
- James 2:21-24- What was the beginning of Abraham’s faith journey? What was the “mountain top” expression of his faith? How far apart were these two events? Did Abraham only have faith-wins in his life? What does that say about how our faith grows?
- James 2:25-26- Read Joshua 2:8-14- Rahab had heard the story about how 50 years ago, the God of the Israelites freed his people from slavery in Egypt. Based on her hearing that story, what did Rahab think the God of the Israelites could do for her?
- Why is it so hard to “get back up” when we have experienced a faith failure?
- Prostitution was illegal among the Israelites, yet Rahab, a prostitute was blessed to be in the lineage of Christ. How hard do you think it was for Rahab to overcome the image that people had of her? How can we be encouraged by understanding how God saw Rahab?
- Read Philippians 3:13-14- What is something in your past that you are afraid people judge you for? How has this held you back in your relationship with God and with others?
