Kids Bible Stories

1 Kings 10:1-14, 22-24,  & Ecclesiastes 2:1-11

 Today we begin to comprehend just how wealthy Solomon was. With his wealth and his wisdom, Solomon tells us anything he saw and wanted, he got. This might sound incredible but Solomon learned a very valuable lesson that everything is meaningless without God. Things or fame, none of that will satisfy us fully because what we are really searching for is God. The Creator of our souls is the one who satisfies us. The kids will hear examples of this so they can begin to understand how this applies to their own lives.

1 Kings 8:1-24, 54-56, & 1 Kings 9: 1-9

We are continuing our Solomon series. If you’ve missed a few, I'd highly recommend you go back and listen as they build upon themselves.Today's episode picks up after Solomon completed the temple (episode # 280). We listen in as Solomon prays to the Lord and hear what the Lord says to Solomon in return. The Lord warns him and his descendants not to turn away from Him, not to wander and serve other gods. The kids will begin to understand that out of His love, God gives us rules and consequences. When he tells us to do something it's because it's for our own good! He wants to protect us and He offers us things that are real, lasting, and loving versus other things that have fake promises. I try to help the children connect these dots with real life examples they can understand.

Thanks for tuning in & helping teach the Bible to your children.

Matthew 27:50-56,  2 Chronicles 3:8-14 & Hebrews 4:14, 16 

In our last episode, we heard Solomon built the temple. Today, we are going to hear something really important that happened at the temple on the day Jesus was crucified. We just celebrated Easter so I think this is a perfect time to discuss the significance of the veil being torn. I hope your kids enjoy it!

1 Kings 5:1-10, 6:1-20,29-38, 1 Samuel 16:7, & 1 John 4:19
 Today we hear Solomon build a magnificent temple for the Lord. Below, there are links you can visit to see a video of what Solomon's temple looked like.
  We hear how  marvelous Solomon's temple was but the kids are reminded that Solomon didn't need to earn God's love and neither do we. 1 John 4:19 "We love because He first loved us."  God chose to love us first, we didn’t have to earn it by becoming rich and famous or building the most impressive building.  Sometimes people will only be kind or loving if they are first shown that. For example, you will only share your bike if they first share their rollerblades. That's not how God works. He shares His love with us first!
   I hope you enjoy today's continuation of our Solomon series.

For the month of March, we are beginning a brand new series on Solomon! 

 Each episode will also build upon itself so if you miss one, just go back and listen. We are going to learn about Solomon 1 episode at a time and let me tell you, the Bible is never boring so buckle up.

Parents I have adapted some of these episodes out of respect for each family's ages and stages of  life. I always include the scripture for you to read yourself and include what's appropriate for your family. I make every effort to not alter the meaning of the scriptures when using artistic liberties or adapting to be age appropriate. Being biblically sound is of utmost importance!

Click the subscribe or follow button on your podcast so you will be alerted to each new, free episode that comes out. Next week we will begin this series following the typical Kids Bible Stories format.

Psalm 119: 35-37 & 1 John 5:3-5

We continue our short love series. Today's episode will define what a command is and understand that God's commands are made out of his love for us. We will hear what the Bible says about this and move to an example so the kids can understand it. They will learn that rules are actually loving; a way to protect us and bring us delight. 

Please help us reach our goal of sponsoring 100 children through Compassion International. We've made it very simple to do so. You can:

1. Text KBS  to 83393

OR

2. go to compassion.com/kbs

  1 Corinthians 13:1-13 & 1 John 4:7, 9-10

This begins a short series on love. To celebrate Valentine's Day this month, I decided it would be good to see what the Bible has to say about love. Where does love come from? Who created it? What does it look like? Tune in to hear what the Bible has to say about these questions.

1 John 4:9-10: " This is how God showed his love to us: He sent his only Son into the world to give us life through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and God sent his Son to die in our place to take away our sins."

    Thanks for allowing me to play a small part in teaching your children about Jesus. I am honored and don't take this role lightly!

 Matthew 28 :1-10, 16-20 & Isaiah 40:8

 Today, we hear Jesus promise to be with us ALWAYS! Not only on good days or when we are awake, but always!!! We hear Him say to go out and make disciples. The kids will learn what disciple means. We will also  take a minute to marvel at just how far the Gospel has spread. We remember how far away most of us are from where the Gospel began and give  thanks for those He sent to share God's word.

Thank you so much for listening and sharing the Bible with your children.

 Ephesians 1:13  & Daniel 6:16- 17

 Today we continue our short series about the Holy Spirit. We hear the word seal or sealed  in the two Bible readings on this episode. But what does that mean? Paul said "And in Christ, God put his special mark on you, a seal,  by giving you the Holy Spirit that He had promised." 

We discuss what the signet ring was used for historically and its significance. When God sends us the Holy Spirit, it’s like God taking his special signet ring and stamping us with it.

 God’s seal shows the world that we are His! You are his very special, very loved, sons and daughters.

 Acts 1:12-14, 2:1-19, 32-33, 38-39, & John 14: 25

We start our episode hearing Jesus tell his disciples that the Father will send them the Helper, the Holy Spirit. But when will He send Him? Today's episode addresses this.  We fast forward to after Jesus has risen and returned to heaven. The kids will get a brief order of events to help them understand when the episode takes place. We hear the Holy Spirit arrive...howling wind, flames of fire, everyone miraculously speaking different languages... incredible !!!!! Peter addresses the crowd who is chuckling at this wild site. Peter explains what is happening and reminds them that the Holy Spirit is a gift from God.

 There is so much to say about the Holy Spirit. Today we will cover when He arrived and how He helps us. Next week we will discuss another aspect of the Holy Spirit so tune in. Your children may have many questions........mine asked me 10 questions about Heaven yesterday !  Don't shy away from them. Be honest. If you don't know, tell them you will look it up and see what your Bible says or other online, Biblically sound resources have to say. I've also found it helpful to ask them what they think. It gives you a gauge on what they already know and sometimes clarifies what they're actually asking. There will also be times we don't have an answer..God is God, we are not, so we don't know it all but, we can remind our kids that we can trust what He says & pray for help to understand his Word.

Acts 1:1-11 & Luke 24: 36-43

We just celebrated Christmas, which reminds us of Jesus' 1st coming. Today, we will hear the Bible teach about His second coming as we hear what the disciples experienced.   Jesus gave us  instructions on how we should live while we wait for him to return and guess what… He left us w/ some incredible promises as we wait too. We will talk about those more in the next episodes. For now, we remember we have hope. Why?  Because God always keeps his promise so when the Bible says Jesus will come back, we can trust Jesus will return and that, that  gives us hope.

Micah 5:2, John 3:16-18, & Luke 2:1-7

Today we learn what a prophet is when we introduce Micah. We discuss how Micah specifically told where Jesus would be born and we follow the journey God put Mary and Joseph on to get them from Nazareth to Bethlehem. God used different people, events, etc but it allllllll happened just as He said it would. This story also drives home John 3:16-18; that God sent his son Jesus, not to condemn the World, but to save us through Jesus. What a precious gift this is!

To engage more with this episode, you can grab a map and show your kids Nazareth and Bethlehem so they see where Mary and Jospeh traveled. You can also listen to the song "Oh, Little Town of Bethlehem."

Merry Christmas!

2 Chronicles 20: 1-6, 14-17, 21-23 & Psalm 118:1

Today we hear that King Jehoshaphat and his people faced a war which they didn't want to be a part of. They still gave thanks to God during the tough time, even before the war was won.  We also briefly discuss the origins of the Thanksgiving holiday and learn that the pilgrims and those in our Bible story had a lot of sad and hard things they could’ve focused on, yet they chose to look for some good things to thank God for. This doesn’t mean we have to put on a happy face or ignore sad feelings; it means we still trust that God is good, He loves us, and we can be thankful for that even in sad times. We will hear a special ending as our wonderful listeners chime in on what they are thankful for.

Job 34:19 & Isaiah 64:8

Today will be different than our normal Bible stories because we are doing a special episode to explore the  large world our God has made, learn about the people he created, and hear how we are the same and different.  Sometimes, we can get caught up in seeing just our little world and forget that not everyone lives the way we do. We explore the world as we hear about a group of children in the Philippines and how they get to school. Everyone gets to see just how big the world is, but how connected we are in Jesus.

Psalm 119:105-112 & John 8:12

Today's story is shorter than usual b/c we need time to discuss it. In this episode, the Bible shows us Jesus is the best light, the real light. The kids will consider if there are bad lights. This is where our fireflies and fish discussion comes in.

 The magnificent light Jesus offers us helps guide us… “Your word is a lamp to my feet,
 a light on my path" through God’s word.

The kids will recognize that  some things try to be a brighter light than Jesus & pull our attention to it. Sometimes, these "lights" want to guide us and act like they are the best light but they aren’t. Only Jesus is the 1 true light, who wants what’s really best for us.

John 1:43-51

Today we hear Jesus gather more followers; Phillip and Nathanael. Nathanael doubts that the the savior could come from the town of Nazareth. We hear  Jesus' response to this and from it learn that Jesus knows what’s going on inside of us, our thoughts and feelings, and He knows what’s going on outside of us.  Jesus is such a powerful & loving father that there will never be a time when He does not know what’s going on in your life and that brings us comfort today.

John 1:19-23 & 35-42

In today's episode, we will hear priests asking John the Baptist who he is. They have journeyed all the way to find him in order to understand who he really was.  We discuss that there are others in the Bible with the same name so it's important to know which John we are reading about.  We also meet Andrew and hear that he was excited to follow Jesus. Andrew couldn't wait to tell his brother, Simon, all about the Messiah. The kids will be reminded that we too get to tell others about Jesus just like Andrew did.

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.

Matthew 15:29-39

We continue our compassion series. If you’ve missed the previous ones, please go back and listen as they build upon themselves. 

Today, we are learning about compassion from the one who did it best and of course, we are talking about Jesus. The scriptures will show how He had compassion on the hungry crowd. We've heard something similar to this before when Jesus fed the  5,000. The kids are encouraged to look up Mark 6 & 8 and Matthew 14 &15 where both feedings are recorded. Parents, help them identify similarities and differences between them.

Matthew 20:29-34 & Colossians 3:12

 We continue our series learning what compassion is from the best teacher, Jesus. Today we hear Jesus show compassion to 2 blind men. The crowd tells the blind men to leave Jesus alone, but that doesn't stop them from crying out to their loving Savior. Click play to hear the miracle from today's scriptures. 

Thanks for sharing the Bible with your children!

Matthew 14:13-21

Today, we begin a series about compassion. We begin by defining it and seeing how Jesus showed us how to be compassionate through His actions. Jesus had just received some sad news about John the Baptist but despite this, he had compassion on the crowd. He healed the sick and fed them too. There is so much to learn from this story that we will do it again in the future to accommodate talking about more of it. The kids will be prompted to consider how they can show compassion to others. 

Thanks for tuning in today!
