- What questions do you have about today’s passage and message?
- Israel succeeded in the battle against Jericho only by obeying God’s unconventional instructions. How are God’s instructions to the Church for our Gospel conquest also unconventional (Matthew 28:18-20)?
- How do these unconventional instructions lead us to trust and rely upon God instead of our own strength and wisdom (2 Corinthians 4:7)?

- Rahab and her family were the only people of Jericho who were rescued from God’s judgement against the city. Why was Rahab and her family rescued (see Hebrews 11:31)? How are we rescued from the wrath and judgement to come upon the world (I Thessalonians 1:9-10 & John 3:36)?
- Have you repented of your rebellion against God and placed your trust in Jesus alone to save you?
