Kids Bible Stories

Matthew 27:50-56,  2 Chronicles 3:8-14 & Hebrews 4:14, 16  In our last episode, we heard Solomon built the temple. Today, we are going to hear something really important that happened at the temple on the day Jesus was crucified. We just celebrated Easter so I think this is a perfect time to discuss the significance of the veil being torn. I hope your kids enjoy it!

1 Kings 5:1-10, 6:1-20,29-38, 1 Samuel 16:7, & 1 John 4:19 Today we hear Solomon build a magnificent temple for the Lord. Below, there are links you can visit to see a video of what Solomon's temple looked like.  We hear how  marvelous Solomon's temple was but the kids are reminded that Solomon didn't need to earn God's love and neither do we. 1 John 4:19 "We love because He first loved us."  God chose to love us first, we didn’t have to earn it by becoming rich and famous or building the most impressive building.  Sometimes people will only be kind or loving if they are first shown that. For example, you will only share your bike if they first share their rollerblades. That's not how God works. He shares His love with us first!   I hope you enjoy today's continuation of our Solomon series.To see a video of Solomon's temple go here : https://youtu.be/y2tha7ogpecTo see more about the significance of the rooms, carvings, location, and all of the meanings, search "Solomon's Temple Explained" on YouTube.To connect with me, go to https://www.kbspodcast.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

1Kings 3:1-15, 1Kings 4:20-34 , & Proverbs 3:14-15  If you missed last weeks episode, make sure to go back and listen so you understand how we got to where we are. Today we hear Solomon ask God for wisdom. This pleases God and God not only gives him wisdom but riches. We will learn that Solomon wrote some of this wisdom down in the book of Proverbs and read a verse showing the value of wisdom. In this world you may hear people call something wise when actually it’s the opposite, it's foolish. This is why It's important we always go back to our Bibles to see what it says about Godly wisdom.  I hope your family enjoys this episode in our Solomon series.  To connect with me, simply go to https://www.kbspodcast.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

1Kings1:28-53, 1 Kings2:1-4,10-12,&  Chronicles 22:7-10  If you missed last week, we began the Solomon series. I highly recommend you go back and listen as the episodes build upon themselves. Today, we hear King David give important instructions to Solomon before he passes.  Adonijah's status of king is short lived when Solomon is crowned king. We remember that long ago, God said all of this would happen.  The kids will hear us discussing this important fact that God's plans can never be messed up.   We also note that David made some terrible decisions but turned to God and asked him for forgiveness. The kids will be reminded that even our mistakes can be used in God's plan and even though David had some huge mess ups, it did not disqualify him from God's love or God's plan. That brings us peace and encouragement! To be age appropriate, we are not discussing certain details about David's sin, but if it's something your family is ready to discuss, please do so.  Tune in next week to hear what Solomon will do as the new king.

1 Samuel 16:6-12, 1 Kings 1:1-25,  Chronicles 22:7-10 Today we kick off our series on Solomon. We begin with a quick refresher on David since that is Solomon's father. As David aged, his reign as king was coming to an end. It was time for him to announce who would rule after him but before David even chose, one of his other sons, Adonijah, decided he would be king next, not Solomon. How will David choose who should become king next? We read in Chronicles  that long before this moment, the Lord told David who would become king next.  I hope you enjoy this Solomon series.  Parents, some parts of episodes are adapted out of respect for the variety of ages that listen (Examples include adaptions for  graphic violence and sex). Scripture is always referenced for parents to read  and include more as is appropriate for their family.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Psalm 119: 35-37 (NIV AND ICB) & 1 John 5:3-5 We continue our short love series. Today's episode will define what a command is and understand that God's commands are made out of his love for us. We will hear what the Bible says about this and move to an example so the kids can understand it. They will learn that rules are actually loving; a way to protect us and bring us delight.  Please help us reach our goal of sponsoring 100 children through Compassion International.

  1 Corinthians 13:1-13 & 1 John 4:7, 9-10 This begins a short series on love. To celebrate Valentine's Day this month, I decided it would be good to see what the Bible has to say about love. Where does love come from? Who created it? What does it look like? Tune in to hear what the Bible has to say about these questions. 1 John 4:9-10: " This is how God showed his love to us: He sent his only Son into the world to give us life through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and God sent his Son to die in our place to take away our sins."     Thanks for allowing me to play a small part in teaching your children about Jesus. I am honored and don't take this role lightly!

 Matthew 28 :1-10, 16-20 & Isaiah 40:8  Today, we hear Jesus promise to be with us ALWAYS! Not only on good days or when we are awake, but always!!! We hear Him say to go out and make disciples. The kids will learn what disciple means. We will also  take a minute to marvel at just how far the Gospel has spread. We remember how far away most of us are from where the Gospel began and give  thanks for those He sent to share God's word. Thank you so much for listening and sharing the Bible with your children.  To connect, go to  https://www.kbspodcast.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 Ephesians 1:13  & Daniel 6:16- 17  Today we continue our short series about the Holy Spirit. We hear the word seal or sealed  in the two Bible readings on this episode. But what does that mean? Paul said "And in Christ, God put his special mark on you, a seal,  by giving you the Holy Spirit that He had promised."  We discuss what the signet ring was used for historically and its significance. When God sends us the Holy Spirit, it’s like God taking his special signet ring and stamping us with it.  God’s seal shows the world that we are His! You are his very special, very loved, sons and daughters.     To connect with me click https://www.kbspodcast.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
