Because of her faith in the God of Israel, Rahab hid the Israelite spies.

1.  Rahab's Faith Caused Her to Protect the Spies

     (Joshua 2:1-7)

     The two spies Joshua sent to gather intelligence about Jericho found

     refuge in the house of a prostitute named Rahab.

 
2.  Rahab's Faith Caused Her to Seek Protection for Herself and Her Family

     (Joshua 2:8-14)

     Rahab had heard of Israel and their God and asked in faith that her 

     family be spared.

 
3.  Rahab's Faith Led Her to Follow the Directions Given to Her

     (Joshua 2:15-24)

     The spies departed in secret, leaving Rahab with specific instructions

      to avoid being destroyed with the rest of Jericho.
