Lesson 6

In order to get into the Promised Land, the Israelites had to cross the Jordan River during the time of a great flood. They were not only scared, they were convinced it was impossible. But, God did an amazing miracle for them. He caused the Jordan River to stop flowing and allowed the nation of Israel to walk across on dry land. To commemorate the miracle, the Israelites built a memorial so that they and their children would always remember what God had done. In this lesson, the children will learn from Joshua that we should never forget the amazing miracles God does in our lives. No matter how much time passes, we must keep these miracles in our hearts and minds.
