Hello Christchurch Kids and welcome to our blog. This Sunday is our last look at the exodus of the Israelites. They escaped slavery in Egypt and have spent years in the desert. The land God promised them is nearly in sight.
First there is a river to cross... but we've already seen that water doesn't get in the way of God's plans.
The Israelites have crossed the river and so now the only thing in their way is a wall but it's not just any wall. This was the wall surrounding Jericho.
Wow! What an amazing story. How do you think the Israelites felt when Joshua told them the plan to take the city of Jericho? Do you think they wondered how God was going to make it work? They had seen God do incredible things already so maybe they didn't doubt it.
God can do amazing things when we listen to him and follow his ways. Sometimes God's way might seem strange to those around us but this is what the Bible tells us about God...
Yes, God’s riches are very great! God’s wisdom and knowledge
have no end! No one can explain the things God decides. No one can understand
God’s ways.
We are going to have some fun building and knocking things down today as we remember the story of the walls of Jericho.
Our challenge today is to see how tall a tower you can make with Lego BUT you have to stack the bricks on the smooth sides not using the bumps! How high can you build your tower before it falls over?
Prayer
Father, You are the God who can do anything. You can even make shouting at a wall work to bring it down. Help us believe in You and follow Your instructions even when it seems weird to other people.
Amen
Here's one of favourite songs from F@CT and we can sing it today as we have heard that God is bigger than big, stronger than strong and mightier than mighty. God can do anything!
Thanks for joining us today and we hope you have enjoyed following the adventures of Moses, Joshua and the Israelites. Next week we begin our journey towards Easter, starting at Palm Sunday.
