Main point: God is with me so I can be courageous.
Bible story: Rahab and the Spies ● Joshua 2:1-22; 6:22-25

As a family, watch this week’s video and discuss these questions together:

• Who was today’s Bible story about? (Rahab, the two spies, Joshua)
• What was today’s Bible story about? (Joshua, the leader of God’s army, sent two spies to Jericho before they went to battle. A woman named Rahab helped keep the spies hidden and safe. The spies told Rahab to hang a red rope outside her window, and when God’s army came back to the city, they would make sure Rahab and her family were safe. When God’s army came to battle the city of Jericho, they saw the red rope and remembered Rahab!)
• What does this story teach us? (God is with us, so we can be courageous)
• How do you know that God can help you be courageous? (God is always with us, and He can help us be courageous — just like He helped Rahab!)
