TEXT: Joshua 14:6-13; Numbers 13:17-33
In 1 Corinthians 10:1-15 the Apostle Paul recounts some of the things that happened to the Israelites because of their unbelief, disobedience, murmuring, etc. These things were written as a warning to us that we might not be caught in a similar snare of Satan. It is encouraging to read of a man who lived among these people, and yet retained his purpose to walk with the Lord! We, too, can be kept by the power of God if, like Caleb, we determine to wholly follow the Lord.
QUESTIONS
- Caleb was one of a group of men who had been selected as spies for Israel. Ten of the spies told of a good land, but felt that the land would be impossible to take. What did Caleb say? See Numbers 13:30; 14:6-9.
- Whom did the Children of Israel choose to believe? What was the result? See Numbers 14:1-4,33,34.
- What promise was made to Caleb and why? See Numbers 14:24.
- How old was Caleb when Moses sent him to spy out the land of Canaan and how old was he when he came to Joshua to receive his inheritance?
- What did Caleb have to say of his own physical strength?
- What had the ten spies said about the people who lived in the area Caleb desired? See Numbers 13:33.
- Before we come into our inheritance we face many “giants” today. Name some.
- We can use Caleb’s “secret weapon” against the giants and their fenced cities that we face. What was the secret weapon?
- Explain the difference between the words holy and wholly.
- List some things one must do to wholly follow the Lord. Be specific!

THEME THOUGHTS
What makes a hero? Everyone, no matter what his age, seems to have a hero—someone he looks up to and admires. A great deal of a person’s behavior can be traced to the figure he or she has chosen as a role model. Are you in a period of transition? Are you facing the challenge of growing as a Christian. These lessons have been structured with the thought of helping you face this challenge head-on by giving you examples of people in the Bible who exemplified characteristics that would be good to pattern after.We will be studying about heroes found in the Old Testament and in the New Testament, including our greatest Hero—Jesus.These lessons will cover some of the women in the Bible as well as the men. Elisabeth’s faith, Deborah’s confidence, the self-denial of the widow of Zarephath, and the perseverance of the woman who touched the hem of Jesus’ garment are wonderful examples of feminine heroes we will be learning about.The other lessons will cover Zacharias’ faith, the obedience of Joseph (Jesus’ earthly father), John the Baptist’s fearless witnessing, Gideon’s example of courage, Caleb’s determination to wholly follow the Lord, the persecution of Stephen, Ananias’ determination to serve God, and Elisha’s willing service.Our aim is that with the concluding lesson, which summarizes this quarter on choosing the right kind of heroes, you will have learned which character qualities make someone a real hero. We pray that you yourself will want to become a good example for someone else to follow.
