After kicking off this week’s service with our church Zoom call (link sent out in the WhatsApp group), we can continue with family worship and learning in our homes.

The Bible reading for this week is Joshua 14:6-15.

And here’s the extended lesson content, including teaching materials, games, videos, and questions.

Memory verse:

Now fear the Lord and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your ancestors worshipped beyond the River Euphrates and in Egypt, and serve the Lord.

For younger children:

Now fear the Lord and serve him faithfully. Throw away the gods your ancestors worshipped and serve the Lord.

Joshua 24:14 (NIV)

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come to You today, so thankful for each and every promise that you have made to us. We thank you for the promise of forgiveness of sins, the hope of heaven and life ever lasting.

We thank You for this story of Caleb, for how he trusted You and never gave up on the promises that You had made to him, even after many years.

We thank you that You are a promise making and a promise keeping God and we ask that you would help us to faithfully trust in You and Your promises.

We ask all these things in Jesus’ name

Amen
