No Reserves No Retreat No Regrets

Session 2: No Retreat • 43

my father’s house, and give me a sure sign [13] that you will save alive my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all who belong to them, and deliver our lives from death.”

Rahab (Josh. 2)

Achan (Josh. 7)

A disfavored woman

An honored man in Israel

A Canaanite, who walks by faith An Israelite, but doesn’t fear God

A prostitute

A family head among God’s people

Should have died, but lived

Should have lived, but perished

Was the savior of her family clan

Doomed his own family clan

Survived, along with her goods

Perished, along with his stuff

She alone of her nation remained He alone of his nation was judged

Hid the spies

Hid the loot

Covered up the guys on the roof

Buried his stolen treasure in the dirt

She obeyed God’s indirect word He disobeyed God’s clear command

She lives, with the Israelites

He died, with the Canaanites

She walked by faith

He walked by sight

Possessed a deep fear of God

Possessed a fear of getting caught

Joined the ranks of God’s favored folk

Joined the ranks of the dishonorable

Received the blessings of faith Received the judgments of dishonor
