    At Home Lesson

    The Walls of Jericho


    (Joshua 2 & 6:1-23)

    Gather your family together. Start off in prayer. Pray for each other, the church,
    the leaders around the world, and people who you know are in need. Ask God
    to teach your family something during this time together. Tell the Bible story and
    discuss. Stay open and make sure kids are invited to participate however, they
    are comfortable.

    BIBLE STORY

    Today’s lesson comes from Joshua 2 & 6:1-23. You can read the verses from the
    bible you have at home, watch the video on https://jcbc.org/jcbc-kids-online/,
    and/or retell the story like this:

    “The Israelites were camping near the Jordan River. They were close to
    the land of Canaan, the land God promised them. They were waiting for God to
    tell them how to get into Canaan and defeat the Canaanites.
    Joshua, the leader of the Israelites, sent 2 spies into the city of Jericho. The
    stayed in the house of a woman named Rahab. The king of Jericho found out
    the spies were with Rahab and sent soldiers to find them.
    Rahab knew about God and the Israelites. She wanted to help the spies, so she
    hid them when the soldiers came looking for them. Once the soldiers left, she
    helped the spies escape by letting them climb down a scarlet (or deep red)
    rope out of her window. Before the spies left, she told them “I know the Lord has
    given you this land. Please be kind to my family since I’ve been kind to you.
    When you attack Jericho, don’t kill us.” The spies said they would help keep her
    safe, because she believed in God. When they left, Rahab tied her scarlet rope
    in her window so the Israelites would know which house was hers.
    There was a great big wall around Jericho, so no one could get in and attack
    the city. God told Joshua, “Jericho is yours. March around the city once each
    day for 6 days. Tell the priests to carry the ark of the covenant. On the 7th day,
    march around the city 7 times. Then, have the priest blow the trumpets. All the
    people will shout, and the walls of Jericho will fall down and your people can
    take the city.”
    The Israelites did what God said. They marched around the city every day for 6
    days. On the 7th day they walked around it 7 times and then blew trumpets and
    shouted praises to God. When they did this, the walls came crumbling down!
    The 2 spies hurried to Rahab’s house. They brought her out, with all her family.
    Rahab was saved because she believed in God. Them, the Israelites destroyed
    everything in the city and took it as their own.”
    CONNECT AND DISCUSS

    Ask these questions and explain these things to your children. Break it down on
    their level and adapt to their age group. The older your kids are, the more they
    can explain and think outside the box. Instead of defining words, ask them what
    it means. For younger kids, make sure to explain in the simplest terms. No matter
    the age, let them answer before you do. Accept their answers and make sure
    they know you are proud of how hard they are thinking, even if they don’t get
    the “right” answer.

    Bible Story Questions


    • Who fought the battle of Jericho?
    • How did the Israelites knock down the walls just by marching and
    cheering? (God did it!)
    • Who was Rahab? What did she do to help God’s people?
    • God kept the promise to the Israelites and to Rahab and her family. God
    gave the people the land they were promised, and saved Rahab and her
    family. This shows us that God is faithful. Being faithful means keeping
    promises and consistently taking care of the people we love. God is
    faithful because God keeps promises and always takes care of us.
    o What promises has God kept to your family?
    o How do you know that God is faithful?
    o How does God take care of you?

    keep taking care of your family. Tell God what you need.
