Watch with your children.
Take time with your family to discuss these questions (or variations of these questions) together, and reflect on this week’s truth and Word.
1. QUESTION: What promises did God make to Abraham? Did God fulfill these promises right away? What promise were the Israelites waiting on in the wilderness? How do we know God hadn't forgotten this promise?
TAKEAWAY: God never forgets to keep his promises.
2. QUESTION: What were the two reports from the spies? Since all the spies saw the same thing, why do you think some of the spies were afraid and Joshua and Caleb weren't?
TAKEAWAY: Don't be afraid to do the hard things God calls us to do.
3. QUESTION: How are Moses and Jesus similar? Why is Jesus greater?
TAKEAWAY: Praise God for Jesus, a deliverer greater than Moses!
4. QUESTION: Where did God promise to bring the Israelites? Where has God promised to bring those who believe in Jesus? If we believe in Jesus, can anything stop us from getting there?
TAKEAWAY: Jesus will bring us safely into the promised land of heaven.
