The Sun and the Moon Stand Still

The Sun by Destinee.

Central Truth: God will fight fo us!

Scriptures: Joshua 10:1-27

When the king of Jerusalem heard what the Israelites had done to Jericho and Ai, he sent messages to the king of Hebron, Warmth, Lachish, and Eglon to join him in an alliance against Israel. The armies gathered and besieged Gibeon who sent messages to Joshua reminding him of their treaty to protect them from their enemies. When Joshua prayed, God told him not to worry because the five kings will be delivered into his hands. Joshua and  his army marched to Gibeon and defeated the five kings. Joshua’s men pursed the remainder of the five kings’ army, and God sent hailstones that killed many of the enemy. Joshua asked God to keep the sun and moon still so that the Israelites could finish off the enemy, and God answered his request. 

"Sun, stand thou stilton Gibeon; and thou,

Moon, in the valley of Aijalon.

And the sun stood still,

and the moon stayed until the people had avenged

themselves upon their enemies."

Joshua 10:12-13

Bible Scrapbook

Each week the children will be adding to their scrapbooks what they have learned during Sunday School. This week we a couple of pages. On the first we pasted a margin strip with Joshua 1:9 (“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go”) and printed the above verse (Joshua 10:12-13) along with it. On the opposite page we drew a picture of the sun with short summaries of the story of the Amorite Battle.
