What We Learned in Sunday School Today…Sunday School students studied “The Twelve Spies in Canaan” today. We are like the faithless Israelites, doubting and revolting against God’s ways and direction. God forgave them and He forgives us our sins of disbelief through Christ who fought sin for us on the cross. Parents could ask, “How do we sometimes doubt God? What has God promised us?”
