Look back: Look back over Hebrews 8:6-13 and remember the New Covenant stands as the triumphant fulfillment of God's promises, replacing the weakness of the Old Covenant by securing righteousness, transformation, and forgiveness through Christ's perfect obedience and atoning sacrifice.

Look ahead: This coming Sunday, we will be in Hebrews 8:6-13 again. Read the passage during the week with your family.

FAMILY TALKING POINTS

CHRIST CONNECTION

This is the big idea of how this week’s Bible story points to Jesus.

• Babies & Toddlers: God helped Joshua, and He helps us too. God sent Jesus so we can trust Him and live with Him forever.
• Younger Preschool: Just like God helped Joshua and the Israelites, He also sent Jesus to help us. Jesus showed His power so we can trust Him and live with Him forever.
• Older Preschool: God made a way for Joshua and the Israelites to enter the Promised Land. God made the way for us to be with Him forever through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
• Kids: God’s presence went before the people, and the waters of the Jordan were stopped. God’s people crossed safely into the Promised Land. Jesus went before God on behalf of sinners. All who trust in His life, death, and resurrection are saved from judgment and enter into eternal life.
