During our new series on the conquest of the promised land by Joshua, Pastor Kevin made use of his miniature war game hobby to create a small-scale model of a section of what the wall of Jericho may have looked like illustrating to the kids the size and thickness of the walls of this immense ancient city confronting the children of Israel.
It was believed that the walls were so think that chariots could race along the top around the perimeter of the city.
Notice the red ribbon in a small window on the side of the wall representing Rahab's house where the Hebrew spies were hidden.
The drawback was that PKs collection was multi-cultural and multi-historical so the Levitical priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant look a bit oriental.
The kids really got into this model, getting an idea, not only of the thickness of the walls, but the probable height. Without God's supernatural help, there's no way the Israelites could have taken this mighty city.
The week before, we taught about the crossing of the Jordan river and thankfulness to God illustrated by the Israelites as they entered the promised land and celebrated God's provisions.
Jesus is our Super Hero... YEAH!
The kids collected rocks from the riverbed of the Jordan and decorated them to show something they were thankful for... thus the tables.
