Kids Bible Stories

 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!

Genesis 9:8-17 You've made it to our last Noah episode! We hope this series has sparked curiosity, joy, and a deeper connection with God in your hearts.  Today, we hear about the meaning of the rainbow and touch on what a covenant is. We join Noah's family in that sacred moment when God made a covenant with them and sent the rainbow. It was as if God, through the rainbow, had reached down from the heavens to touch their hearts, sealing the covenant with a promise they could see.   ⁠*P⁠⁠lease support us by enjoying the bonus content.⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Access our coloring pages AND BRAND NEW Noah Bible Study that follows the episodes here.

Genesis 8:15-19 We listen in as the ark becomes a hive activity. Even the animals must have sensed the excitement that they were getting close to exiting the ark! Oh to stretch their legs and run full speed using the strong legs God had given them! We discuss what it must have been like to leave the known, safety of the ark for something new. Kids will consider times in their life when they experienced going from something known to the unknown and how we can trust God during it.   P⁠⁠lease support us by enjoying the bonus content.⁠⁠⁠ Access our coloring pages AND BRAND NEW Noah Bible Study that follows the episodes here.

Genesis 8:6-12 In today's episode we hear Noah send out first the raven and then the dove. Will the birds bring back good news of dry and? The kids will be reminded that if you find yourself in a season of waiting, you can remember Noah's story. Even when you're doing everything right, the results may not come as quickly as you'd like. But we can cling to this truth: God is with you every step of the way. He sees your efforts, hears your prayers, and knows the desires of your heart.

Genesis 8:1-5 & 2 Peter 3:9 The rain stops, God sends a wind that makes the water level decrease, and the ark hits solid ground as it sits atop a mountain! They may  have expected to step onto dry land immediately, but God had a different plan. They waited 150 days on the ark as the waters slowly vanished. We are reminded that even in the waiting, God was working. God never forgets & He is always faithful. We hope you enjoy this episode and are so happy you are teaching your kids the Bible!

Genesis 7:11-20 The rain begins and continues for 40 days and 40 nights. Even though the ark goes through rough waters, Noah, his family, and the animals remain safe inside just as God promised. The kids will love hearing this one come to life! Kids will be reminded that when they feel like life's storms are tossing them around, to: remember Noah remember the ark and most importantly, remember that just as God protected Noah, and Jesus calmed the sea, God is still watching over you, keeping you safe in the storms of life. How do I know I can trust him? Because of the cross. I look to it and  remember that God sent his only son, Jesus. That Jesus died on the cross and rose again. He rescued us when we couldn’t rescue ourselves. He loves you that much!  *To enjoy the bonus content for Noah and other episodes, (study, coloring pages, etc) AND HELP SUPPORT us by doing so , go here and choose BONUS CONTENT.

Genesis 7:1-10 & Ephesians 4:3  Your kids will love this one! Noah, his family, and allllll those animals wait for 7 days inside the ark for the rain to begin. Kids will note that lions were with lambs, cats with mice yet somehow, they got along. We will hear that God is all powerful; taking care of every single detail. Noah didn’t know how it was all going to work but God didn’t say he needed to know.  He just needed to have faith to do what he was called to do and God would take care of the rest: including making those animals get along. We also discuss how we are to "Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace." As christians we won't all look the same, have the same talents and weaknesses and we will disagree at times, but it’s that same love of Jesus, that same goal of following Him that reminds us to work through problems with peace  in order to keep working together to help others know Jesus.   Access our coloring page AND BRAND NEW Noah Bible Study that follows the episodes here.

Genesis 6:15-22 & Hebrews 12:2 Please make sure to listen to the Noah series in order as they build upon themselves. Today, we hear God deliver the instructions for the ark.

Genesis 6:9-14 & John 14:1-2 In our last episode, we discovered that the world had gone wrong, and today we are going to learn how God used Noah who seemed ordinary, but he faithfully walked with God. We put ourselves in Noah's shoes considering what it may have felt like to be him. Noah probably recognized  how big this mission was going to be. He would have considered the practical challenges of constructing an ark of such colossal proportions. It may have felt both awe-inspiring and scary yet Noah trusted God and obeyed Him.
