KINDER – 3RD
STAND: DON’T FACE YOUR FEARS ALONE
THE CONNECTION BETWEEN COURAGE AND GOD’S CHARACTER, AS SHOWN THROUGH GOD’S BIG STORY
As we continue our journey through God’s Big Story, we take a closer look at the lives of significant people in the Jewish Scriptures: Joshua and Caleb, David, Daniel, and Esther. Each of them trusted God and found courage to face difficult circumstances. They also represent major time periods in Israel’s history—from entering the land of Canaan, the United Kingdom, and Exile.
Like these people we read about in the Old Testament, God may ask us to take a risk or do something we might not feel prepared to do. But God will also give us the courage we need to face that challenge. We can also look to Jesus. He faced the biggest challenge of all: death on the cross. Still, He chose to be brave and follow God’s plan.
“BE STRONG AND BRAVE. DO NOT BE AFRAID. DO NOT LOSE HOPE. I
AM THE LORD YOUR GOD. I WILL BE WITH YOU EVERYWHERE YOU GO.”
JOSHUA 1:9B, NIRV
Week 1 – Joshua and Caleb Numbers 13-14
Week 2 – David Anointed / Goliath 1 Samuel 16:1-13 and 1 Samuel 17:1-51
Week 3 – Daniel Is Thrown Into a Den of Lions Daniel 6
Week 4 – Esther The Book of Esther
