Joshua part 2

In this second session of the Joshua study series at Mossvale Community Church Men's Meeting, we explore Joshua 2 and the remarkable story of Rahab and the scarlet cord. We consider why this seemingly unexpected story is placed at the beginning of Joshua and discover how Rahab, an unlikely hero—a Canaanite woman and former prostitute—demonstrates courageous, living faith in the God of Israel. Her confession that the Lord is God of heaven and earth, her willingness to risk everything, and her trust in His promise of deliverance reveal the power of faith to transform lives. We explore the theme of mercy before judgement, seeing how God provided a way of salvation for Rahab and her household before Jericho fell, and how the scarlet cord points us ultimately to the blood of Jesus Christ and the refuge found in Him. Rahab’s story reminds us that it is not enough simply to hear about God—we must hear, believe, and trust in Christ, finding our security in the salvation He provides.
