Kids Bible Stories

Matthew 27, John18 & 19 , &  Luke 23  I want to respect each listener's ages and levels of understanding, so I have adapted some of this for the needs of our audience. Please go back and read the scriptures yourselves to include what is appropriate for your family. We begin our story with Jesus speaking with Pilate and end with the crucifixion. The kids will hear: -The meaning of the torn veil (listen to episode #281 to go further) -This was God's plan; there were no mistakes, no surprises. Jesus chose to lay down His life, and by doing so, Jesus took the weight of every sin, past, present, and future. -It's not always as it seems. The cross is not the end of the story. We have hope because of what happened 3 days later! --------------------- To enjoy bonus content for the episodes which also supports us, go here To connect with us go here For our free read-a-loud pdf book get it free hereSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Matthew 26:36-56 We continue our Easter series.  I respect each listener's ages and levels of understanding, so I have adapted some of these for the needs of our audience. Please go back and read the scriptures yourselves to include what is appropriate for your family.  I will also encourage you to listen to all of the episodes in this Easter series in order, as the stories build upon themselves. It starts at #369. This story begins in the garden of Gethsemane and ends with Jesus being arrested. We remember that Jesus could have whispered 1 word and 100’s of angels would have appeared to rescue him BUT he didn’t do this. Why? Because He chose to. He chose to obey God b/c he loves God the father!!!! God’s plan had been there all along to rescue us b/c he loves us that much! The children will be reminded that Jesus is always in control and that He loves them very much! ------------------------------------- To enjoy the bonus content for this (coloring pages, and more) which also keeps this podcast free for 1,000's of families to access, go here.

Matthew 26, John 13, &  1John 1:9  We begin our Easter series with: Hearing Jesus, the king of kings, serving and loving his disciples by washing their feet. Introduce the betrayal BUT remind kids that Jesus was not alarmed by this. Jesus knows everything and this isn't "throwing off his plans."  Learn the significance of the passover (We keep it age appropriate; if you want help talking further about the passover, head over to my IG @kidsbiblestories ) Explain the connection of the last supper and communion. As always it will be a fun journey that engages the kids and is explained on their level so they can apply and remember it. We want them to know that God's word is for them, He loves them, and they can know Him!

2 Kings 5:19-27 & 1 Timothy 6:10 Today, we continue our Elisha series with a story full of surprises, sneaky plans, and an important lesson! Last time, we saw how God healed Naaman’s skin, and he was so thankful that he wanted to give Elisha a big reward. But Elisha didn’t take anything. However, someone else had different plans! Gehazi’s greed led to big consequences, and he learned the hard way that honesty, obedience, and contentment are far more valuable than gold and silver. Join us as we learn why loving money too much can lead us away from God, and how we can always trust Him to provide for our needs!
