Matthew 8:23-27 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called the Gospel of Matthew. Matthew was a disciple of Jesus. That means Jesus was his teacher. And the word "Gospel" means "good news!" One day, Jesus and His friends, the disciples, got into a boat. They were going to cross a big lake. Jesus was very tired from teaching and helping people, so He laid down in the boat and went to sleep. While they were on the lake, the wind started to blow. Whoooosh! The waves got bigger and bigger. The boat rocked back and forth. The disciples were scared! They said, “Help! We’re going to sink!”  But Jesus was still sleeping. The disciples ran to Him and woke Him up. They said, “Lord, save us! We’re afraid!” Jesus sat up and looked at the storm. Then He said to the wind and the waves, “Be still!” And do you know what happened? The wind stopped blowing. The waves stopped crashing. Everything became calm and peaceful. The disciples were amazed. They asked each other, “W...

Matthew 4:18-22, 9:9-10, 10:2-4; John 1:43-49 Our true story comes from parts of the Bible called the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of John. Matthew and John were disciples of Jesus. That means Jesus was their teacher. And the word gospel means “good news!” One day, Jesus was walking by a big lake. He saw two brothers, Simon (also called Peter) and Andrew. They were fishermen, throwing their nets into the water to catch fish. Jesus called out to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men!” Simon and Andrew left their nets right away and followed Jesus. As Jesus walked farther, He saw two more brothers, James and John, sitting in their boat with their father, Zebedee. They were fixing their fishing nets.

So, he found Nathanael sitting under a tree and said, “We found Him! We found the special one God promised, the one Moses and the prophets talked about. His name is Jesus!” But Nathanael wasn’t sure. He asked, “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Nathanael didn’t know much about Jesus yet. Philip didn’t try to argue. He just said, “Come and see!” So, Nathanael got up and went with Philip to meet Jesus. When Jesus saw Nathanael coming, He said, “Here is a man who always tells the truth!”  Nathanael was surprised.

The problem was that Zacchaeus took money that wasn’t his. Was that a good thing for Zacchaeus to do? No, that was not good. One day, everyone heard that Jesus was coming to their town. The people were SO HAPPY! Zacchaeus was happy too! When the people saw Jesus, they all crowded around so they could see Him. But Zacchaeus couldn’t see Jesus over the crowd. How was Zacchaeus going to see Jesus? If only there was something Zacchaeus could climb.

Climb, climb, climb! Zacchaeus climbed a tree, and guess...
