Dear Parents,
This week, we have the opportunity to explore the teachings of “Conquering Jericho” (Joshua 2-4; 6).
After crossing the Jordan River, God promised to give Jericho to the Israelites. Joshua sent two spies to scout the city, and Rahab protected them, expressing her faith in God. She was promised safety in return. Following God’s instructions, the Israelites marched around Jericho for seven days. On the seventh day, they shouted, and the city walls collapsed. Rahab and her family were saved as promised. This event demonstrates that victory comes through faith in God, just as salvation comes through faith in Jesus.
This message will inspire your child to grow in the love and light of Jesus. Reinforce the lesson at home by discussing the following points with your child:
- Faith and Obedience to God: The Israelites trusted and followed God’s plan exactly. How can we show faith and obedience in our daily lives?
- God’s Power to Save: Rahab trusted God and was saved. How does trusting Jesus save us from sin?
- Victory Through God: The Israelites could not defeat Jericho on their own. How does God help us overcome challenges?
You might consider praying with your child, thanking God for His power and asking Him to help you trust and obey Him.
Grace and blessings in Christ.
