God Stopped the Jordan River

    03.19.23 | Grace Kids

    God went ahead of Joshua and the Israelites into the promised land. He showed His power to them so they would trust in Him. When Jesus came to earth, He showed His power so people would trust in Him and be saved from sin.

    Discussion Questions:

    • Why do you think God wanted the people to remember the crossing of the Jordan River?

    • What is something amazing God has done for you?

    • How can we remember the amazing things God does for us?


     Family Prayer:

    Mornings
    Praise God for one of His awesome works you’ve learned about from the Bible. How does remembering God’s works teach us more about who He is and what He can do for us?

    Evenings
    Praise God for one way He helped you today. How can God’s help today remind you to trust Him tomorrow? How can sharing the story of God’s work in your life help others trust in Him?


    Family Activities:


    For Fun...

    1. Plan a day trip to a nearby river. Ask your kids to think about what it would take to stop the flow of that river. If they managed to stop it, could they easily start it again? Skip stones into the water and discuss the Bible story.

    2. Make a memorial wall in your home. Use objects, photos, or drawings to help your family remember the awesome things God has done in and through your family. Take time sharing the stories to one another and praising God for His goodness.

    To Serve...

    1. Visit an elderly church member. As you share a meal or visit together, ask the person to share stories of God’s faithfulness to him or her. Encourage kids to ask questions and listen to learn more about who God is and how He displays His power.
