SUNDAY SCHOOL
 
God the Savior
 
Unit Description: The Israelites wandered in the desert for 40 years before God brought them into the promised land. The Israelites needed to conquer the land, so God fought for His people. Joshua led the people and encouraged them to be faithful to the one true God.
Key Passage: Joshua 1:9
Big Picture Question: Whom can we trust? We can trust God.
 
 Bible Story: Achan’s Sin and the Defeat of Ai
Bible Passage: Joshua 7–8
Main Point: God punished Achan for his sin. Then God fought for His people at Ai.
 
As we continue exploring the Old Testament this week, we will encounter Achan
disobeying God and taking something from Jericho after its defeat. Because of this,
when Israel attacked Ai next, they suffered defeat. God helped Joshua uncover Achan’s
sin, and God punished Achan for his sin.
The punishment for Achan’s sin was death. It seems harsh, but the Bible says that the
wages of sin is death. (Romans 6:23) Because we sin, we deserve to die too. Jesus
came to die in our place. When we confess our sins and trust in Jesus, we are forgiven
and saved from spiritual death.
Help your children see that God takes sin seriously, but He also offers forgiveness and
eternal life with God through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
