Kids Bible Stories

Luke 2:4-7 & Matthew 1:21 Today we hear the classic story of Jesus being born in Bethlehem. I am just getting over losing my voice so I apologize that it sounds different.  In our story, we hear that Jesus' birth changed everything. This was part of God's rescue plan but we contemplate what Jesus gave up when he came down to Earth and put on human flesh. The apply section speaks of the significance of His birth. Without the birth of our Savior, Jesus, there would be no cross.  Without the cross and resurrection at Easter, we would have no hope.  I hope you all enjoy this episode.  Merry Christmas!  Subscribe for just $2.99 a month to get ALL episodes AD FREE!

Romans 3:22-24 We will first hear what our Bible says and then have a short, simple activity for your family to try. We are doing 1 activity a week for advent in addition to our weekend full stories. I intentionally made these activities very simple! You do NOT have to purchase anything, no prep needed, and the whole family can listen and enjoy. Today we learn that no one can earn God's love. Sometimes we believe a lie that if we are able to act a certain way, then we'd be perfect and then God will love us. Our activity has the kids discuss this. No amount of money or trying to be perfect will earn his Love. Instead, people are made right with God by his grace, which is a free gift.  Subscribe for just $2.99 a month to get ALL episodes AD FREE!

Romans 3:23 -24 & John 3:16 To prepare for Christmas, we need to understand why Jesus' birth is such a big deal. To begin to grasp how important it is, we will rewind back to the Garden. 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 & https://mamabearapologetics.com/teaching-kids-understand-sin/   here as a resource for further discussions around these topics. *********** Subscribe for just $2.99 a month to get ALL episodes AD FREE!

Luke 22:42 & 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 We are doing something different for this episode. We will hear a short scripture from our bible and then listen to an imaginary story about Molly and Will to help us understand the scripture. Molly & Will just read our scripture AND you’ll hear they both experience the same exact day.  Will they react the same way to their day though? Today's story reminds us that God is not upset when pray for him change the situation. We look at Jesus as our example who prayed to his Father in Luke 22  " If you are willing, remove this cup from me. Yet not my will, but yours be done." God wants us to pray about anything and everything but Jesus is also our example that we must trust Him even if the situation does not change. Can we trust Him? You sure can. Tune in to today's story to hear why we can trust Him and how we can find something to be thankful for even in hard situations.  Subscribe for just $2.99 a month to get ALL episodes AD FREE!

Luke 17:11-19 This was one of our archived episodes. We hear 10 sick men ask Jesus to help heal them. Jesus helps them but how many are grateful and actually thank him? We may think that we would never do such a thing but the story reminds all of us that we too have taken things for granted or not giving God the praise He deserves. Thanking God doesn't have to be long or filled with fancy words.

 Psalm 100, Philippians 4:4-6 , Colossians 4:2, & Ephesians 6:10-18 This month we are continuing to talk about gratitude, being thankful. We hear the Bible whisper over and over again to give God thanks. Being thankful is like a powerful weapon to combat greed, anxiety, and our enemy. We hear how Satan told a lie in the Garden and he is still trying to trick us w/ his lies today. To combat this, we learn to use the Truth..that there is already so much we have to be thankful for. When we choose to see the wonderful things , we realize we already have so much to be thankful for..and being thankful, it’s like kicking the enemy in the teeth.  It protects our hearts & how we feel. It guides our thoughts to the goodness of God and reminds us that every good and perfect gift comes from our Heavenly Father above.  Subscribe for just $2.99 a month to get ALL episodes AD FREE!

Psalm 139 & Acts 17:25-26 This month we are going to talk about gratitude, being thankful. Today, we jump right in learning that you can thank God for making you. He has a plan for you, a purpose, and was not suddenly surprised, scrambling to figure out where you would live and when you’d be born. God made YOU on purpose & the Bible doesn't say you are just an okay, kind of good work of God ... it says that you are a wonderful work of God ! We discuss how we should be cautious to compare ourselves with others and how we can delight in our differences and similarities.  Subscribe for just $2.99 a month to get ALL episodes AD FREE!

 Joshua 6 I respect each family's ages & stages of life so I have adapted some of this. PLEASE go back and read the scripture yourself including what is appropriate for your family. If you’ve missed the Exodus series, please go back and listen as they build upon each other. This is the last story in our Exodus series! We did it! Today we get to hear the the walls of Jericho fall and God's people enter the land. They obey using trumpets and shouts to make the wall fall. We apply that obeying God doesn't always look like we think it would.  Sometimes we think it will look like superhero work or will be shown on the news BUT our every day obedience to God matters and may seem small but it's really, really BIG.  Subscribe for just $2.99 a month to get ALL episodes AD FREE!
