7.30.23 - Rahab and Real Belonging (Kenny Camacho)

SCRIPTURE: Joshua 2 & 6



REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

  1. Have you ever felt like an “outsider” in a new place? Reflect on that experience: did you ever feel “in”? How long did it take? What changed?

  2. As you read through Joshua 2, what do you think makes Rahab’s story so important here? What does she know? What does she do?

  3. Why do you think she takes the spies “side” here? What does the story say?

  4. Why is the act of welcoming others, even outsiders, a significant part of being part of God's story?

  5. How can you better practice welcoming and including others in your own life and faith community?

  6. What does Rahab's story tell us about hope and inclusion in God's Kingdom, regardless of a person's past?

  7. What have your thoughts been about this series so far? What have you learned? How do you think this series connects to our theme this year of “Discipleship”?
