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. They became friends and asked Paul to live with them. Aquila and Priscilla were tentmakers. Snip, snip, snip! They cut heavy pieces of cloth to make big tents. Then they sewed the cloth together with big needles to make tents. Besides teaching God’s Word, Paul also was a tentmaker. Paul liked making tents and worked with Aquila and Priscilla. While they worked, Paul talked to Aquila and Priscilla about God’s Word. They

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. It made a very big sound. The rich people were happy that Jesus saw them putting lots of money into the offering container. They wanted Him to notice that they were giving lots of money. But this did not make Jesus happy. Jesus knew the rich people had lots

2 Chronicles 29:25-31 The Bible tells us that there was a king named Hezekiah [HEZ-uh-kigh-uh]. King Hezekiah lived many years after King David and King Solomon. King Hezekiah loved God very much. 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. So Hezekiah had the temple opened and cleaned. Then King Hezekiah called the priests and the Levites [LEE-vites] to the temple to worship and make music to God. They were helpers at the temple. Hezekiah asked the people of Jerusalem to come and worship God too. The priests mad music by playing trumpets. Toot-ta-ta-toot-toot. King Hezekiah liked the way the trumpets sounded when the people made music together to p

1 Kings 8 Our Bible story tells us about a king in Israel. That king’s name was Solomon. Solomon was the son of King David. 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. King Solomon was happy when he saw so many people. He stood in front of them and spread his arms toward heaven. King Solomon and the people prayed to God. King Solomon prayed, “God, You are very great. You keep Your promises. Please hear the people when they pray. “When we ask You to send rain so w
