This Week in NewLife Kids

Ten Hut - Elementary

Lesson Goal: The children will learn that it is important to remember the times God has helped us. This will give us courage as we face present and future challenges.
Main Point: I Will Remember That God Has Done Great Things For Me!
Bible Story: Joshua and the Israelites take time to remember and worship God (Joshua 4:15-24, 6:24, and 8:3-35)
Bible Verse: Psalm 77:11 "But then I recall all you have done, O Lord; I remember your wonderful deeds of long ago." (NLT)

Read the Bible story: (Joshua 4:15-24, 6:24, and 8:3-35)
The Lord performed a lot of miracles for the Israelites. He stopped the Jordan River from flowing so that they could safely get across. He even helped them conquer cities and defeat their enemies.

For Discussion:
Why did Joshua place twelve stones to mark where the Israelites crossed the Jordan River?

After Ai was defeated and the king was killed, what did Joshua do?

What are some ways that you can remember the great things God has done in your life?

Joshua knew the importance of giving God the glory for every victory in his life. Joshua and the Isralites took time to remember the great things God did when He helped them cross the Jordan River, conquer the city of Jericho, and defeat Ai.

Just like the Isrealites, we should also remember the great things that God has done for us. Remembering will help us with what we're facing today and what we will face tomorrow. It helps us to focus on God and recognize his hand in our lives.

Extra verses to look up:
Proverbs 77:11
2 Samuel 7:22
Psalm 103:2

Ten Hut - Pre-K and Toddlers

Bible Story: David & the ark (Psalm 57:7-10; 2 Samuel 5:1-4; 7:8-9)
Main Point: I Will Be Happy Because God Loves ME!
Bible Verse: “God will do this, for he is faithful to do what he says…” Corinthians 1:9 (NLT)

Read the bible story: (Psalm 57:7-10; 2 Samuel 5:1-4; 7:8-9)

Take some time to talk with your child about what make them happy. Help them to understand that we don't need things to make us happy. People can't make us happy either. Happiness comes form the Lord!! God loves us and that should make us happy.

See you next Sunday!!
