Bible Story: Joshua and the Battle of Jericho

Bible Reading: Joshua 3-6

Bible Point: Jesus is the Better Joshua

Questions to ask:

-How does this scripture point us to the gospel? 

-How did the Israelites obey God? 

-How is Jesus better than Joshua

Parents, what a faithful man Joshua was. Joshua was told to do something that we probably would have deemed absolutely crazy. But Joshua trusted God and followed His instructions. Joshua was faithful, but God is even more faithful! Joshua obeyed and God did exactly what He promised by destroying the walls of Jericho. Has there been a season in your life where God was calling you to do something that seemed crazy? This week is a great time to talk to your kids about trusting in and obeying the will of God. Share your testimony with your kids and pray with them, thanking Jesus for his faithfulness and the Holy Spirit for giving you the courage and peace to obey. Remind your kids that Jesus is the better Joshua because Jesus has conquered more than a city, but has conquered death itself.
