Kids Bible Stories

For the month of March, we are beginning a brand new series on Solomon!   Each episode will also build upon itself so if you miss one, just go back and listen. We are going to learn about Solomon 1 episode at a time and let me tell you, the Bible is never boring so buckle up. Parents I have adapted some of these episodes out of respect for each family's ages and stages of  life. I always include the scripture for you to read yourself and include what's appropriate for your family. I make every effort to not alter the meaning of the scriptures when using artistic liberties or adapting to be age appropriate. Being biblically sound is of utmost importance! Click the subscribe or follow button on your podcast so you will be alerted to each new, free episode that comes out. Next week we will begin this series following the typical Kids Bible Stories format.  To connect with me, go to https://www.kbspodcast.com/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.

 Acts 1:12-14, 2:1-19, 32-33, 38-39, & John 14: 25 We start our episode hearing Jesus tell his disciples that the Father will send them the Helper, the Holy Spirit. But when will He send Him? Today's episode addresses this.  We fast forward to after Jesus has risen and returned to heaven. The kids will get a brief order of events to help them understand when the episode takes place. We hear the Holy Spirit arrive...howling wind, flames of fire, everyone miraculously speaking different languages... incredible !!!!! Peter addresses the crowd who is chuckling at this wild site. Peter explains what is happening and reminds them that the Holy Spirit is a gift from God.  There is so much to say about the Holy Spirit. Today we will cover when He arrived and how He helps us. Next week we will discuss another aspect of the Holy Spirit so tune in. Your children may have many questions........mine asked me 10 questions about Heaven yesterday !  Don't shy away from them. Be honest. If you don't know, tell them you will look it up and see what your Bible says or other online, Biblically sound resources have to say. I've also found it helpful to ask them what they think. It gives you a gauge on what they already know and sometimes clarifies what they're actually asking. There will also be times we don't have an answer..God is God, we are not, so we don't know it all but, we can remind our kids that we can trust what He says & pray for help to understand his Word.  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.

Acts 1:1-11 & Luke 24: 36-43 We just celebrated Christmas, which reminds us of Jesus' 1st coming. Today, we will hear the Bible teach about His second coming as we hear what the disciples experienced.   Jesus gave us  instructions on how we should live while we wait for him to return and guess what… He left us w/ some incredible promises as we wait too. We will talk about those more in the next episodes. For now, we remember we have hope. Why?  Because God always keeps his promise so when the Bible says Jesus will come back, we can trust Jesus will return and that, that  gives us hope.  To connect with me, click here: https://www.kbspodcast.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Micah 5:2, John 3:16-18, & Luke 2:1-7 Today we learn what a prophet is when we introduce Micah. We discuss how Micah specifically told where Jesus would be born and we follow the journey God put Mary and Joseph on to get them from Nazareth to Bethlehem. God used different people, events, etc but it allllllll happened just as He said it would. This story also drives home John 3:16-18; that God sent his son Jesus, not to condemn the World, but to save us through Jesus. What a precious gift this is! To engage more with this episode, you can grab a map and show your kids Nazareth and Bethlehem so they see where Mary and Jospeh traveled. You can also listen to the song "Oh, Little Town of Bethlehem." Merry Christmas!
