5 Women of Genealogy - Lesson 2

LESSON 2 - Rahab

RAHAB: Shameful prostitute and liar, yet family intercessor and covert cooperative to God’s plans …

Life synopsis … Rahab was well known and established in her community – she was a prostitute. Although her life was shameful, in her heart she had reverence for God (ref Joshua 2:11). God saw her heart, looking beyond her outward veneer (ref 1 Samuel 16:7). As a result, she, too, is listed in the bloodline of Jesus Christ.

Read this ... Joshua 2, Joshua 6:12-25, Hebrews 11:30-31, James 2:14-26


Key verse … The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.
1 Samuel 16:7b NIV © 2011

Let’s practice … What shameful character flaws or wrong behavior patterns could be said about you? How can you follow Rahab’s example and be transformed into a woman yielded to God’s plan and purpose?
