This Week in NewLife Kids

Ten Hut - Elementary

Lesson Goal: The children will learn that when God asks us to do something, we can be sure that He will provide a way for us to accomplish the task.
Main Point: God Will Make A Way For Me To Follow Him!
Bible Story: The Israelites cross the Jordan River (Joshua 3-4)
Memory Verse: Philippians 4:19 "And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus." (NLT)

About the Lesson:
After hiding in the hill country for three days, the two spies returned to the Israelite camp to report what had happened while scouting out Jericho. The men told Joshua, “The Lord has given us the whole land, for all the people in the land are terrified of us” (Joshua 2:24).

God used the pillar of cloud and fire to guide the Israelites out of the wilderness. Now, the Ark of the Covenant was the visible symbol that God used to lead His people into the Promised Land.

Application:
What did Joshua tell the Israelites to do before they got ready to cross the Jordan River? (Read Joshua 3:5)
What miracle did God perform when the Israelites crossed the Jordan River? (Read Joshua 3:15-17)
Has there been a time in your life when you were presented with the option to either follow God or your own desires? How did God provide a way for you to follow Him?
When God asks us to do something, we can know that He will provide a way for us to do it. We shouldn’t worry about how God will provide, we should simply follow God and trust Him.

Additional verses to meditate on:
Psalm 32:8 “The Lord says, ‘I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.’
Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.”
1 Corinthians 10:13 “The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.”
