Reply to "COMPLETE LESSON SET: Joshua/Jordan/Jericho ~ River Community Church"

Sorry to say Mustard Seed Ministries lessons are no longer available online, so the lesson referenced in the ART LESSON plan above is not available. 

Here are some map notes from a lesson plan from another church (Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, Olympia, Washington) that used this lesson:

ART MAPPING POINTS

  • All of this is the land of Canaan, which Joshua is claiming for the Israelites.
  • “The Canaanites worshipped Baal, god of weather and fertility, and Ashtoreth, his wife, goddess of love and war, with a host of other gods. El was the chief. Each town had its patron god or goddess. These god did not set laws (like the Ten Commandments), although they might make cruel demands like child sacrifice-so people could behave much as they pleased. This, and its close link with good crops and fertility, made Canaanite religion easy and attractive. This is why the Israelites were told to avoid all contact. Their failure to obey brought all kinds of trouble.” (Zondervan Handbook to the Bible, 231)
  • Water:
    • Mediterranean Sea
    • Dead Sea
    • Lake Galilee
    • Jordan River-water was stopped at Adam so Israelites could cross.
  • Cities:
    • Adam-where water of Jordan River stopped
    • Jericho-where walls came down after marching
    • Gilgal-base-camp for Israelites
    • Ai-the city that took 2 tries to defeat because one of the Israelites disobeyed God and took goods from Jericho.
    • Gibeon-the people who deceived Joshua into promising they couldn’t attack. Made an alliance. Because of this promise, the worst the Israelites could do to them was to make them slaves forever.
  • Tribe divisions: From the story of Joseph (and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat) the 12 brothers:
    • Asher,
    • Napthali,
    • Zebulin,
    • Issachar,
    • Manasseh,
    • Ephraim,
    • Gad,
    • Benjamin,
    • Dan,
    • Judah,
    • Simeon,
    • Reuben.
  • Other cities captured: (Just to emphasize the #)
    • Jericho
    • Ai
    • Jerusalem
    • Hebron
    • Eglon
    • Lachish
    • Makkedah
    • Debir
    • Gezer
    • Libnah
    • Hazor
    • Achshaph
    • Dor
  • Other notables: Lebanon Mountains-the northernmost part set aside for the Israelites
