Rahab and the Spies

This weekend we are continuing our new series, “Promiseland.” Dexter tells us about what a good helper he was at school and we tell him the story of Rahab and the spies. We learn that after 40 years of wandering in the desert, the Israelites get a new leader named Joshua. Joshua sends two spies into the Promised Land to check it out before they go to battle. The spies go to see a woman named Rahab at her house. They know Rahab will be a good helper. When the king hears that there are spies in the land, he sends his guards to Rahab’s house to capture them. When the guards get there, Rahab hides the spies on her roof and tells the guards that they have already left. Then, Rahab gets a rope and the spies climb out of her window to safety. We will focus on the fact that it made God happy that Rahab helped the spies, and it makes God happy when we help people too.

Hope you are having a great week! See you this weekend!
