Kids Bible Stories

Romans 3:23 -24 & John 3:16 Recently, we celebrated Easter and since that time, Parents have been sending in fantastic questions kids have had, many of them related to Easter. Today, we are doing a special episode as I do my best to answer one of the more complex questions : What did Jesus Save us from. I understand there are a variety of ages and backgrounds who are listening so I have tried to keep it age appropriate for most families.   We learn about: 1. Adam & Eve sinning & how that affects us.  2. We all need Jesus and His grace. Grace is a gift, not earned. 3. Sin separates us from God. We are made right with God by being made free from sin through Jesus Christ. ***** We will not discuss Hell in this episode. Hell is biblical and should be discussed in your family when it's appropriate. I did not address this here as I want to respect families and the personal discussions that need to occur in the home for this. ****** I am including the link Desiring God here as a resource on how to discuss hell with your children.  To connect with me, go to https://www.kbspodcast.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Daniel 3 If you missed last weeks episode, I highly recommend you go back and listen as these will build upon themselves. In today's story we hear king Nebuchadnezzar build a golden statue and demand that everyone must bow down to it.  What will the consequence be if they don't? We may not be asked to bow down to a statue but we must be careful because we too can make other things more important than God.... Just as king Nebuchadnezzar wanted that statue to be more important than God. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego's faith shines brightly in this story. It's easy for us to say "God I'll worship you because you gave me exactly what I wanted today." It's a different feeling when we can say “God I really hope this or that will happen BUT even if it doesn't , I will still love you and worship you." That’s what they did! Even in one of their most frightening experiences, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego had their Heavenly Father there with them. Just as He was there with them, He will be with you all of the days of your life. Thanks for tuning in to the Daniel series. I hope this always draws the kids closer to knowing Jesus.

 Daniel 2:1-28,46-49 In order to respect each families ages & stages of life I have adapted some of this b/c of the content in Daniel and the time allotment for the episode. So PLEASE go back and read the scripture yourself including what is appropriate for your family. The King has some confusing dreams and the only one who can explain them is Daniel. Daniel knew this was made possible b/c of God not him, so he made sure God received the credit. The kids are reminded to observe the wonderful things God allows us to do and be grateful versus puffing ourselves up as if it's all b/c of us. Some may think our examples don't seem incredible. God gave Daniel the ability to do something amazing! But the truth is, ours are actually miraculous things! They just seem normal b/c they happen day after day. We get used to seeing the miracle God provides each new day.  Thanks for tuning in to the Daniel series. I hope this always draws the kids closer to knowing Jesus.

Daniel 1 In order to respect each families ages & stages of life I have adapted some of this b/c of the content in Daniel and the time allotment for the episode. So PLEASE go back and read the scripture yourself including what is appropriate for your family. Today we hear Daniel asking permission not to indulge in the King's food b/c it would make him impure.  Daniel did not want to disobey God even though it seemed like everyone else was. We apply that our world or culture sometimes wants us to do things that God says not to do. We may feel the pressure to do it b/c well, everyone else is.  The kids see that Daniel knew what was right b/c he knew God's word and he chose to obey even if it seemed no one else was. The kids will hear examples of what this may look like in their own lives.  Thanks for listening! I hope this always draws the kids closer to knowing Jesus.

Proverbs 26:12, 1John 3:20, Psalm 139:16, Isaiah 40:28, & Luke 1:26-38 We will be reading these straight through so please go back to this reference if needed. This is part two in our pride series. If you missed last weeks episode, please go back and listen. Today we hear our Bible tell us that God knows everything, that he loves us, and that we can trust him. When we think we know better than God, then we are acting in pride. The Application section helps the kids connect the dots by using an example of a puzzle. We get glimpses of these tiny puzzle pieces in our lives and some pieces are confusing like Mary’s visit with the angel while other pieces are very exciting and happy!   But God sees the whole picture, our whole life... things we can’t but he can b/c God already sees it put together forming a beautiful, purposeful picture.   We must remember not to become prideful , when the pieces don’t make sense or maybe we don’t like them. We shouldn’t try to force pieces together that don’t fit.... then, comes pride: “But God, I know better, I want the picture to look like this, not that!” I hope you enjoy today's story!

Proverbs 16:18-19, 11:2, 13:10,29:23 & James 4:6 We will be reading these straight through so please go back to this reference if needed.   Last week, we learned about humility. Today we hear about its opposite… Pride.  Pride can take many forms but today, we are going to hear a made up story to show how pride goes before destruction and is damaging to yourself and others.....how pride can make us  care too much about what others think of us instead of what God thinks. We will hear the scriptures first and then move straight into the story. The Bible is where we go to to understand pride. We discuss the importance of always going back to the Bible because sometimes the world will teach the opposite. The world may clap for things that God tells us to steer clear from.

Mark 10:13-16 & Matthew 18:1-4 Today, we hear what Jesus says about being humble. His followers try to keep the children from Jesus but instead, Jesus welcomes them with open arms. He teaches that " The greatest person in the kingdom of heaven is the one who makes himself humble like this child."  This story will explain why children are used as an example of humility and we help the children connect the dots of applying this in their lives. We differentiate humility from speaking badly about yourself and hear what the Bible says about true humility.   Thanks for listening! Subscribe for just $2.99 a month to get ALL episodes AD FREE!
