Kids Bible Stories

Scripture Reference: 2 Kings 7:1-16, Proverbs 3:5 In the city of Samaria, there was a big problem—no food! Four lepers decide to go to the enemy camp to see if they can find anything to eat. To their surprise, they find the camp empty! Tune in to hear what God did that caused the camp to be empty and save the people in an unexpected way.  Kids will define what a famine and prophet are.  We’ll discuss the power and goodness of God; how He provides in ways we’d never expect and that we can trust our loving Father.  We’ll discuss how the lepers understood that to stay silent and to selfishly not share the blessings would be sin.  They knew others had no food!  They had a responsibility to share the good news. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To enjoy the library of bonus content (coloring pages, sheets, memory verse, etc) for the episodes go here and click bonus content.

Psalm 139 & Acts 17:25-26 Today, we jump right in learning that you can thank God for making you.

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!

Numbers 27:1-11. Join us on one of  Bible's lesser-known scriptures in our new series: "Hidden Gems: The Lesser-Known Stories of the Bible." In this episode, we explore the courageous scripture of the five Daughters of Zelophehad. Join us as we uncover how these remarkable sisters stood up in order to inherit their father’s land; a bold move that led to a historic change in the law. Key Takeaways: Faith in Action: These sisters demonstrated profound faith and determination. Believing that God would provide for them, they took action, which reminds us that faith often requires us to step forward and act. God's Just: The story highlights God’s commitment to justice. When Moses sought God’s guidance, He affirmed the sisters' plea, showing that God values the rights and inheritances of all His people, including women. Kids will remember that this was a first. Most cultures then didn’t value children and women but God changes that. Legacy of Change: The decision in favor of the Daughters of Zelophehad didn’t just affect their immediate situation—it instituted a new law that impacted the entire community. This shows how courageous actions can lead to significant societal changes.   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To enjoy the library of bonus content (coloring pages, sheets, memory verse, etc) for the episodes go here and click bonus content.

Statistics are showing an increase of worry and anxiety in children.  This will be a little different from our usual episode but the Bible has a lot to say about this so we thought we should address it.  We will differentiate between fear, worry, and and anxiety and give each emotion their own episode.  Today we discuss fear: Are there good fears? ie; fear of fire, or fear of the Lord Can fear lie to us? Why does God tell us not to be afraid? What promise does he give with it **If you would like to hear all of David and Goliath that episode is :#112 "There's no one like you." #307 "What if David had a Bad Attitude" is a shortened version with a different application. Resources we've used for this: "The Worry free Parent" & "Raising Worry Free Girls" by Sissy Goff.  To enjoy the library of bonus content (coloring pages, sheets, memory verse etc) for episodes go here and click bonus content.
