The Desert or Promise Land...Hmmmm?

Numbers 13 and 14: 1-9

We finished our journey with Paul's Missionary Journeys.

Now, we are discussing Moses and the Children of Israel who roamed in the desert.

Moses sends out the 12 spies.  10 spies come back with a frightening report about the land being filled with giants BUT thankfully Joshua and Caleb had a different report.  You see, they had their minds focused on the capabilities of the Lord vs. the strength of the inhabitants of the Land.

I love this verse:

They said, "We passed through the land and checked it out. It's very good.  

⁸ If the Lord is pleased with us, he'll lead us into that land. It's a land that has plenty of milk and honey. He'll give it to us.

It is my prayer that the children will always know that the Lord is with them.  All we have to do is call on His Name.

Blessings,

Linda

 

SuperFUNtastic Sunday

 

Everyone had a great time at SuperFUNtastic Sunday!  Cheryl led the kids so graciously on the importance of building a firm foundation.  When hard times come that it's only our foundation in God that counts.  It's only Jesus as our Rock of Salvation that will sustain us spiritually, emotionally and physically.  Hope you can join us for our next SuperFUNtastic Sunday.

Paul's Captive Journey To Rome (The Shipwreck)

Our lesson this week featured Paul's journey aboard the ship heading for Rome.  We started at Caesarea and concluded our lesson at Malta.  Paul warned the centurion to consider a different route.  He was familiar with traveling by sea and the unrelenting storms that have come up.  However, the centurion did not listen to Paul.  They continued and the storm became even worse.  One night, an angel appears to Paul and encourages him.  Paul then encourages the crew that they will be safe.  At one point, Paul prays and breaks the break so that all the men would be strengthened.  Can you imagine?  No matter what we are going through God is with us. I have always been encouraged by Paul and his choices.   The children really liked this journey through Paul's conversion, experiences at Antioch and his missionary journeys.

Blessings to All,

Linda
