1 Timothy 4:12; Acts 9:36-39 WATCH VIDEO Take-Home Activities Our true story comes from a letter that our friend Paul wrote to his young friend Timothy. We can read Paul's letter in the Bible, where it is called First Timothy (1 Timothy). Our true story also 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 people about Jesus. Our story is about a woman named Tabitha. Tabitha loved God, and she helped people by making clothes for them. This was a really good thing, because there were a lot of people who needed her help. She made lots of clothes for them to wear. Did you know that God made all people to be helpers? It’s true! God made you and me...ALL OF US to help other people! Whether you are a grown up or a kid, you can help! You don’t have to be able to sew and make clothes like Tabitha did. God can use you in all kinds of different ways to help others! Do you like to draw pictures? You can draw ...

Jeremiah 29:12; Matthew 6:5-13 WATCH VIDEO Take-Home Activities Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called Jeremiah. Jeremiah loved God and told people many things that God wanted them to know. Our true story also comes from a part of the Bible called the Gospel of Matthew. The word gospel means “good news!” Our story is about something we can do everywhere we go! What do you think it is? Well, the “something” we can do everywhere we go, is that we can…TALK…to GOD! It’s true! We can talk to God everywhere we go. We can talk to God at the beach. We can talk to God when we’re riding through town. We can talk to God when we’re at a campsite fishing. We can talk to God ANYWHERE! Let’s think about all the times we can talk to God. Can we talk to God when we wake up in the morning? Yes! We can talk to God when we wake up in the morning. Can we talk to God at night before we go to bed? Yes! We can talk to God at night before we go to bed. We can talk to God anytime! Day time, night ...

John 3:16 WATCH VIDEO Take-Home Activities Our true story is found in at part of the Bible called the Gospel of John. The word "Gospel" means "good news!"  To begin our story, hold up a finger and point it at...YOU! Today’s true story from the Bible begins with YOU! Do you know that God made you and you are VERY important to Him? It’s true! God REALLY loves you . . . A LOT! God made you and loves you with His whole heart! That’s a lot of love! But it’s about to get even bigger. God loves everyone in the whole, wide world! That’s right. God’s love is SO big, He loves everyone in the world—EVERYONE! You could live anywhere in the whole, wide world, and God loves you. God made everyone in the whole world, and because God made us, He loves us—with His whole heart. And do you know how we know God loves us with His whole heart? God loves us so much that He gave us a very special gift. It was the very best gift of all! Do you know what that special gift is?

Luke 12:7 WATCH VIDEO Take-Home Activities Our true story is found in at part of the Bible called the Gospel of Luke. The word "Gospel" means "good news!"  Can you touch your head? What do you feel? HAIR! Yes, God made people with hair.  Some people have a lot of hair. And some have a little hair. Some people have no hair at all! But no matter if you have a little or a lot, God knows exactly how many hairs are on your head. It’s true! The Bible teaches us that God knows how many hairs are on your head. Every. Single. One. Look at the friend sitting beside you. Can you imagine trying to count the exact number of hairs on their head? That would be so hard—impossibly hard! But God knows. God knows how many hairs are on your head—every person’s head! God even knows when one hair falls onto your shirt, or when you get your hair cut, or when you brush your hair and they get stuck in your hairbrush. God knows!  And do you know what all of this hair stuff means? It means YO...

The word genesis means “the beginning.” Some of our true story is found a part of the Bible called Psalms. The word psalm means holy song (or special song). And some of our true story is found in a part of the Bible called Proverbs. A proverb is a wise truth. Our story is about the One who made ALL people. Who do you think it is? Yes! God made ALL people. God made all people in His likeness. That means He made us to be like Him! And no two people are the same. God even makes twins, who look like each other, different in their own special way. When we look around at ALL the people God made, we see that some people are girls. And some are boys. Some people have red hair. And others have black, brown, or blond hair. God made people with fingers. God made people with feet. God made people with eyes, a mouth, and teeth. ...
