Scripture: Joshua 5-6

God Leads Us
------
Foundation Building Blocks

WHO?
This story revolves around God and how He delivered Jericho into Israel’s hands. Jericho was famous as a walled city, but God showed that He is stronger than the thickest walls.

WHAT?
Joshua 5–6 shows how God led the Israelites to defeat the army of Jericho. God laid out a plan and the Israelites followed it, marching around the city for seven days. On the seventh day, God brought the walls of Jericho crashing down.

WHERE?
The story takes place at Jericho, which is one of the oldest cities in the world. The city was located on particularly fertile land in Canaan, which made it strategically valuable to the Israelites.

WHEN?
This story takes place immediately after God dried up the Jordan River so that the Israelite army could cross on foot (Joshua 3–4).

CONNECTING TO GOD’S BIG STORY
This story shows the central role that God played in defeating Israel’s enemies. The Israelites didn’t have to tear down the walls themselves. Instead, God brought the walls down for them. Likewise, salvation isn’t something we can earn through what we do: it’s a gift from God through Jesus!
