This month’s story follows Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph as each generation wrestles with fear, family tension, and suffering, yet discovers that God’s covenant promises remain steady, His providence turns evil into good, and His unseen hand continues writing a redemptive story that invites us to trust, surrender, and rest.
Part 3 - Exodus March 2026
Key Verse Memory Verse:
“And Moses said to the people, “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord,
which he will work for you today… The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.”
-Exodus 14:13-14
Summary Paragraph: Exodus
God’s deliverance of His people from slavery in Egypt through Moses. The Exodus reveals God’s power through weakness and His desire for relationship. True freedom is not just escape from bondage, but living under His rule. As disciples, we trust His strength, live with gratitude, and remember that salvation points to Jesus, the ultimate Deliverer.
Part 4 - Conquest
April 2026
Key Memory Verse:
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and
do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” -Joshua 1:9
Summary Paragraph – Conquest: “God’s Power in Our Weakness”
After Moses’ death, Joshua leads Israel into the Promised Land, where God shows His continued presence and faithfulness by giving them victory and fulfilling His promises. As the land is divided among the tribes, Joshua calls the people to wholehearted devotion to the Lord. The book closes with both fulfillment and tension—pointing ahead to the greater deliverance found in Jesus, who conquers sin and death through surrender.
Part 5 - Judges
May 2026
Key Memory Verse:
“In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” -Judges 21:25
Summary Paragraph: The Cycle of Rebellion and Rescue
After Joshua’s generation dies, Israel repeatedly turns away from God to worship idols. This leads to a tragic cycle: sin, oppression by enemies, crying out to God, and deliverance through a judge — leaders like Deborah, Gideon, and Samson. Each time, God raises up a deliverer to save His people, but their repentance is short-lived.
