GraceSheetKidsJoshua
Joshua spent years as Moses' right-hand man before God handed him the enormous job of leading Israel into the Promised Land. He'd already shown real courage as one of the only spies who believed God could pull it off — and that same courage carried him through the walls of Jericho and beyond.
Big idea: Be strong and courageous, because God goes with you wherever you go.
