A lesson for the 8-12 year olds will be taught by Terri Snode teaching the events of the twelve spies and how the ten spies’ lack of faith affected the faith of the whole nation!

FRI

FAITH and being Sure

Following God’s Will

Heb 12:1,2

This morning we want the kids to consider God’s will. The children of Israel knew that God has a place for them that He called the Promised Land. That was God’s will for them – to live there, and not be slaves, and not even to stay in the wilderness, but to get to the place where they were defeating every enemy that sought to destroy them. The discussion needs to centre around where each of the kids are: still in slavery? In the wilderness, and trying to go back to the world? Still in the wilderness but at least trying to get the victory over sins? Or, are they in the middle of God’s will? Also, talk about how to get to the next stage in their life – i.e. like out of slavery to sin, and out of the wilderness, etc. Scriptures to use include Luke 9:57-62 and Heb 12:1,2

A lesson teaching for the 8-12 year olds will describe the events of the dying off of the Israelites, and the new generation coming of age, and then being led into the promised Land by Joshua and Caleb will be taught by Ruth O’Sullivan
