More about these coloring pages
During our lesson on Joshua 1:9, I reminded my class that God tells Joshua to 'Be strong and courageous' (Joshua 1:9). This coloring page captures that message beautifully. Each of the six images provides a scene from Joshua's journey, helping kids visualize how God supported him. Last week, my 8-year-old niece colored one while I explained the importance of being brave in our own lives. We talked about moments when we felt scared but how God is always with us. The illustrations encourage kids to remember that they can trust God just like Joshua did. Using these pages during our Sunday school class makes the lesson come alive in a fun way and reinforces the scripture's message.
