Acts 10 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called Acts, which is short for “the Acts of the Apostles.” An apostle is someone who is sent to teach others about Jesus. Cornelius was a kind man. He was a soldier, but he also loved God. He prayed every day and helped people who needed help. One day, an angel came and said, “Cornelius, God sees you! Send for a man named Peter.” So, Cornelius sent some friends to find Peter. While they were on their way, Peter was on the roof of a house, praying. He had a dream. In the dream, Peter saw a big sheet coming down from Heaven. Inside the sheet were animals that Peter had never eaten before. A voice said, “Peter, eat!” But Peter said, “No! I don’t eat those animals.” The voice said, “God made them. Don’t call them bad.” Peter woke up and didn’t know what the dream meant. Then Cornelius’s friends came and asked Peter to come with them. Peter said yes. When Peter got to Cornelius’s house, lots of people were waiting!  Cornelius wanted...

Acts 9:10-31 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called Acts. That name is short for “the Acts of the Apostles.” An apostle is someone who is sent to teach others about Jesus. Saul couldn’t see. He sat and waited in the city. He didn’t eat or drink. He just waited.  Then God talked to a good man named Ananias. “Ananias,” God said, “go see Saul. I have a new job for him.” Ananias was afraid. “But Saul has been mean to people who love Jesus!” God said, “I’m helping Saul become one of My helpers.” So Ananias went to find Saul. He gently put his hands on Saul and said, “Brother Saul, Jesus sent me to help you.” Right away, Saul could see again! He got up and was baptized. Then he ate some food and got stronger. He stayed with Jesus’ friends and learned more. Before long, Saul started telling people, “Jesus is God’s Son!”  Some people were surprised. Some were angry. Saul had to hide, and his friends helped him escape by lowering him in a basket. Then Saul went to a new c...

Acts 9:1-9 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called Acts. That name is short for “the Acts of the Apostles.” An apostle is someone who is sent to teach others about Jesus. Saul did not love Jesus. He didn’t want people to talk about Jesus or follow Him. Saul thought he was doing the right thing, but he was making people who loved Jesus feel scared and sad. One day, Saul was walking down the road to a big city called Damascus. He wanted to find more people who loved Jesus so he could stop them. But something amazing happened! Suddenly, a bright light from the sky shone all around him. It was so bright that Saul fell to the ground! Then he heard a voice say, “Saul, Saul, why are you hurting Me?” “Who are You, Lord?” Saul asked. The voice said, “I am Jesus. When you hurt My people, you are hurting Me.” Saul was surprised! He didn’t know that Jesus was real and alive. Now he knew that Jesus loved His people and wanted Saul to know Him too. When Saul got up, he couldn’t see. His...

Nehemiah 1:1–6:15 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called Nehemiah (pronounced “nee-ah-MY-ah”). The name Nehemiah means “God comforts.” Nehemiah lived far away from a city called Jerusalem. One day, Nehemiah heard very sad news: the walls around Jerusalem were broken, and the gates were burned. Without walls, the people were not safe! Nehemiah loved God very much. When he heard the sad news, he prayed to God. He asked God to help him. Then Nehemiah went to the king. He was very brave! Nehemiah said, “Please let me go and help fix the walls of Jerusalem.” The king said, “Yes, you can go!” Nehemiah traveled a long way to Jerusalem. When he got there, he looked at the broken walls and gates. They were in very bad shape. Nehemiah gathered all the people and said, “Let’s work together! Let’s rebuild the wall!” Everyone worked very hard. Some people carried rocks. Some people fixed the gates. Some people built new walls. Everyone helped! Even when mean people tried to scare them...
