week 1Uncharted Couragefor Adventure AheadJoshua 1: Joshua Becomes the Leader

BIBLE PASSAGE: Joshua 1:1-11MAIN POINT: Choose CourageKEY PASSAGE: Joshua 1:5 NIV“No one will be able to stand against you allthe days of your life. As I was with Moses, soI will be with you; I will never leave you norforsake you.”

Family Footprint Activity:SUPPLY BAGS FOR THE HOMELESSSupplies: gallon size Ziploc bags, personal supplies from a dollar store and paper for notes

Joshua spent many years following Moses and preparing himself to be a leader. Now the time has come and God has appointed Joshua to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land. They are heading into an uncharted land where a new adventure awaits. And before they head into the new land, Joshua instructs them to get their provisions ready.

This week, you are challenged to prepare your family to be generous. In our community, there are people who do not have their every day needs met. You might have seen them standing at street corners, outside stores or other busy locations.

This week your family needs to take a trip to Dollar Tree (or comparable store) and buy personal supplies that a homeless person might need. This could include: toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, water bottles, socks, tissues, band aids, comb, mints, granola bars, and fruit snacks.

Once purchased, make time as a family to assemble the bags by putting one of each item in a gallon size Ziploc bag.

Next, work together to write an encouraging note to add to each bag. These notes can be as simple as, “God loves you!” or “You are special!”.

Lastly, put the completed bags in your family car and be on the lookout for opportunities to give the bags away and be generous to those who need it.

week 2Uncharted Faith in GodJoshua 2: Rahab

BIBLE PASSAGE: Joshua 2:1-16MAIN POINT: Choose FaithKEY PASSAGE: Joshua 2:11 ESV“And as soon as we heard it, our heartsmelted, and there was no spirit left in anyman because of you, for the LORD your God,he is God in the heavens above and on theearth beneath.”

Family Footprint Activity:SECRET SERVING SPIESSupplies: various items to perform acts of kindness

Despite Rahab’s reputation in the land, she is known as a model of hospitality, mercy, faith, patience, and forgiveness because of her faith in God. This faith was shown during her interaction with Joshua and the spies.

This week, you are challenged to become secret serving spies that model hospitality or acts of kindness towards those in your family. The only catch is that the task must be done in secret.

So, see how many times you can be secretly helpful before you get caught. Try doing a chore for another family member without them knowing or hide encouraging notes around your house or pick up your sibling’s toys. Be creative!

If you choose to accept, your mission begins in3… 2… 1… GO!

BIBLE PASSAGE: Joshua 24:14-18, 23-25MAIN POINT: Choose Generosity.KEY PASSAGE: Joshua 24:15“But if serving the LORD seems undesirableto you, then choose for yourselves this daywhom you will serve, whether the gods yourancestors served beyond the Euphrates, orthe gods of the Amorites, in whose land youare living. But as for me and my household,we will serve the LORD.”

Family Footprint Activity:FAMILY MISSION STATEMENTSupplies: paper, printer or writing utensils, anything else you want to decorate with (paint, crayons, stickers, glitter glue, etc.)

Choose a Bible verse, phrase, or statement to be your family mission statement. You can use Joshua 24:15 or choose a verse or statement that reflects your family’s commitment to generosity.

Write the mission statement that your family chose on a piece of paper. Have every member of the family sign it. Feel free to design or decorate as a family. Then place it somewhere in your home where your family will see it every day as a reminder to “Choose Generosity.”

COMMITMENT CARDThis weekend is our kid’s commitment weekend. Take time to pray as individuals and as a family over your commitment card.

Family Footprint Activity:KINDNESS CHALLENGESupplies: rocks and a Sharpie marker

In today’s passage, Joshua told the men to grab a stone and carry it on their shoulder. He said that one day your children will ask what these stones mean, and you will tell them that the stones mark the day that the Jordan River stopped flowing as the Ark of the Covenant went across.

What does this mean? God provided for the people! They needed dry ground and the Jordan River stopped flowing. God provided then, and He provides now! We have so much to be thankful for! We can show our gratitude for all that they Lord does by showing kindness.

• Find one rock for each member of your family. Write a kind word or phrase onto the rock. Some examples might include: “Smile”, “Help a friend”, “Be a friend”, “You are special.”

• Once everyone has written a kindness stone, go out into your neighborhood and place these rocks where other people can find them. As you place them, pray that whoever finds your rock takes the challenge and shows someone kindness!
