Colossians 3:12-17 & Ephesians 5:20 Today we read Paul's letter to the Colossians. He writes, " And whatever you do, whether in word or action, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." The kids will learn that this really means in whatever we do. We don't give thanks or serve God only when we are having fun or getting a gift. To help them understand, we use real life examples: Instead of complaining that they they have to clean up their toys, they can remember they get to clean them up because they are thankful God gave them toys to clean up. I hope today's episode reminds your family of God's truth and encourages conversations. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To enjoy the library of bonus content (coloring pages, sheets, memory verse, etc) for the episodes go here and click bonus content.

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.

Acts 9:10-19 In this episode of our "Hidden Gems" series, we delve into the remarkable story of Ananias, a disciple in Damascus, who is instructed by God to visit Saul (later known as Paul). Saul, notorious for persecuting Christians, has been blinded following his dramatic encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus. Despite knowing Saul's fearsome reputation, Ananias obeys God's command and what happens? Saul gets baptized; setting Saul on a new path as a follower of Jesus. Key Takeaways: Obedience to God: Ananias' willingness to follow God's command, despite his fear, shows his trust in God. Kindness to Opponents: Showing kindness to those who oppose us can be a powerful testament to our faith and can lead to remarkable changes. God's Plan: God's plans often involve using unexpected people for extraordinary purposes, as seen in Saul's conversion to Paul. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To enjoy the library of bonus content (coloring pages, sheets, memory verse, etc) for the episodes go here and click bonus content.

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.

Psalm 119:105-112 & John 8:12 Kids Bible Stories Podcast: Episode - "Jesus: The True Light" In today's episode, we explore the powerful message of Jesus as the ultimate beacon in our lives, shining brighter and truer than any other source. We learned that Jesus describes Himself as "the light of the world," offering us guidance, peace, love, forgiveness, and direction unlike any other. Unlike deceptive lights in the world, like the angler fish's lure, which may seem appealing but lead to harm, Jesus' light is always genuine and life-giving. We also delved into how God's word acts as a lamp for our feet and a light on our path, guiding us through life's journey. This divine light isn't found in the shows we watch, the advice of friends, or the allure of commercials enticing us to desire material things. It's in the Bible, God's word, which always leads us toward what's truly good. We discussed the importance of discerning between the misleading "lights" of the world—like the temptations of consumerism or messages that encourage disrespect—and the one true light, Jesus, who desires what's best for us. Remember, the next time you're faced with a decision or a direction, ask yourself: does this align with the light that Jesus offers? Key Takeaways: Jesus is the true light that guides us with love and truth. God's word is our ultimate source of guidance, not the fleeting attractions of the world. Always test what guides you by comparing it to the teachings of the Bible.

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.

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.

Psalm 66:19 & Matthew 7:7-8 Join us in an our very own original story about a boy who is anxious for tomorrow's test. When he tells his sister his worries, she suggests they pray about it. His sister reminds him of the Bible verses they've heard about prayer and soon, he is feeling less anxious. We will touch on the fact that prayer does not always mean we get exactly what we want. Sometimes the situation does not change BUT prayer can change our hearts. No prayer ever goes unanswered. I remind the kids that if the prayer is not answered how we wanted it to it does’t mean God isn’t listening, it doesn't mean he does’t love you, or isn’t powerful enough to change a situation. God's timing and knowledge is better than ours and we can trust Him. Please join us in sending prayers to the children at Oasis for Orphans.

1 Kings 19:19-21 If you have missed any episodes in our Elijah series, I would highly recommend you go back and listen to them because the episodes build upon each other. Today Elijah finds the man who will be taking his place… Elisha. Elijah throws his cloak onto Elisha symbolizing that he is next....tagging him to take his place. We discuss that when God called Elisha, he was doing normal, every day work. Sometimes our work or tasks may seem "normal"( ie: learning to read, helping with the dishes, etc) BUT they all have purpose when we do them with excellence to glorify God AND often God uses those things to prepare us for what's next.

In last weeks Elijah episode, we heard that God spoke to Elijah in a whisper and kids have been asking, "Does God still speak to us today?" I will do my best to answer that question today! The kids will learn that: 1. During Elijah's time, they didn't have the entire Bible. 2. The Holy Spirit was sent after Jesus' resurrection (Acts 2:1-4) 3. We have the entire Bible, the written word of God now. 4. Now, believers have the Holy Spirit dwelling inside us (John 14:25-26) We will return to our normal episode format with Elijah next week so tune in!

1Kings 19:9-18 & James 4:8 On today's episode we find Elijah hiding in the cave. Instead of hearing God fuss at Elijah, we hear him as a gentle, loving father asking Elijah what he is doing there. Wind blows, the earth quakes, and fire burns; we see God's mighty power on display but even in that, he is still found in the whisper. God is close enough that Elijah can hear his whisper.

1 Kings 19:1-8 As you have followed along with our Elijah series you've probably noticed Elijah has been obeying God and doing the right things, but today he gets some scary news from Jezebel and now Elijah says he has had enough. God's response to Elijah's cry is beautiful. He doesn't downplay Elijah's feelings or scold him. Instead, he sends an angel to provide food and water. When we are hungry and tired, our emotions can run wild. Sometimes it's those simple provisions of food, water, and rest that seem simple but are exactly what we need for our strength. The kids will hear that Elijah was a real human with real feelings and fears; real needs like food and rest. When we feel like we've had enough, we can talk honestly to God just like Elijah did and God will be right there to listen and comfort us too.

1 Kings 18:40-46 & James 5:17 Today we hear Elijah tell Ahab that the drought is finally ending. Elijah knows the rain is coming but it is not until the seventh time that his servant makes the trip to the sea that there are signs of rain. Elijah faithfully waits and sends his servant to look over and over again. God was with Elijah when things happened immediately like in last week's episode, BUT He's also with him in the waiting. I point out that the Bible says that Elijah was a man like us. That gives us encouragement that we too can pray fervently as he did. We have a few more exciting Elijah episodes left so make sure to tune in!

1 Kings 18:16-39 & Exodus 20:3 This episode is full of action when Ahab and Elijah meet again. Elijah asks the people "How long will you try to serve both Baal and God?" The people have wandered from God and God is calling them back to His loving arms. Elijah has set a challenge; their Baal versus God. Tune in to see what happens. We will discuss: 1. That Elijah didn't do this to make much of himself but to make much of God. You hear that in his speech. 2. God is patient. He calls the people back to Him.
