Series: Women of Faith

Joshua 2:1-2:21
READ: Hebrews 11:31 "By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient."
READ: James 2:23-26 "And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called God's friend. You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone. In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction? As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead."
MAIN TEXT: Read Joshua 2:1-21
OPEN: There are some people you just don't want to spend any time with.
For example: telephone solicitors.
How many of you have had at least one phone call from a phone solicitor in past month? (there was a multitude of hands). Now, how many of you enjoyed spending time on the phone with them? (noone raised their hands).
Recently I ran across some suggested responses for fed up home dwellers:
"I'm sorry, but I'm really busy right now. Give me your home # and I'll call you back later tonight."
During the pitch, begin to use your touch tone phone to play "Mary had a little lamb": 6546 666 555 666 6545 6666 5565 4444444444
When someone asks whether a spouse is at home: "Yes, but I never allow her to talk to strangers."
(to a insurance salesman)"You want to sell me insurance? I've been trying to get insurance for years, but nobody will sell me any!"
(To a salesperson hawking a rug-cleaning service), whisper: "Really? Tell me... can you get out goat's blood? How about identifiable fibers and DNA stuff?"
Now, this is all in fun. As Christians, we know that these telemarketers are just people trying to make a living and we shouldn't treat them this way. However, the point is, there are some people that we'd just as soon not spend ...
