Acts 18:1-4, 7-8, 11, 18 Our story comes from a book of the Bible called Acts. That name is short for “the Acts of the Apostles.” The word "Apostle" is another word to describe a helper of Jesus. The Bible tells us about a man named Paul. Paul loved God. Paul liked to tell people about Jesus. He traveled to different cities and countries teaching God’s Word. Many people listened to Paul and believed in God. Tromp, tromp, tromp. One day Paul traveled to a city named Corinth. He met a man named Aquila [ACK-wih-luh], and his wife, Priscilla.

Mark 12:41-44 Our story comes from a book in the Bible called Mark. The Bible tells us many things about Jesus. One day Jesus and His helpers were at the temple. The temple was in the city of Jerusalem. Many people went there to worship and learn about God. Jesus sat across from the place where people put their gift offerings of money. Tromp, tromp, tromp. Jesus watched as many people came to put their offering or gift in the offering containers. Some of the people Jesus saw were rich and dressed in beautiful clothes. They were carrying big bags of money. The rich people looked around to make sure everyone was watching them. Then they put some of their money into the offering container. Clank, clank, clank, clank.

King Hezekiah wanted to praise God in a special way. He thought of the ways King David had praised God years before. King David had liked music. So King Hezekiah had an idea. The people in the temple could praise God by making music together! But first the temple needed to be cleaned and repaired. The man who was the king before Hezekiah had closed the temple.

For many years, the people of Israel did not have a special building where they could worship God. Sometimes they worshiped in a tent or outside. God had a special plan for King Solomon. God wanted him to build a special place, or temple, where the people of Israel could worship. King Solomon told the workers how to build the buildings. He had special furniture put in the temple to use when the people worshiped God. King Solomon planned a time for people to come to the new temple to praise God. People came from all over Israel.
