James 1:17; Genesis 1 WATCH VIDEO Take-Home Activities Our true story is found in a part of the Bible called Genesis. The word genesis means “the beginning.” Our true story also comes from a part of the Bible written by a man named James. James loved God and told people what God wanted them to know. Our true story begins in the very beginning, when God made a super-amazing gift. When someone who loves you MAKES you a gift, it is very special. This super-amazing gift is the earth! God made the earth—the place where we live—because God is good! But that’s not all God made. God also made the flowers and the blue sky full of sunshine to help those flowers grow. God made the flowers, sky, trees, and grass because God is good! But that’s not all God made. God also made yummy fruits, like oranges, apples, bananas, and grapes, and God made yummy vegetables, like corn, peas, carrots, squash, potatoes. Any fruit or vegetable you can think of, God made it. Why? Because God is good! But that’s not...

Genesis 6:8-33, 7:1-24, 8:1–9:17 WATCH VIDEO Take-Home Activities Our true story is found in a part of the Bible called Genesis. The word genesis means “the beginning.” We begin with a man named Noah. He loved God and always tried to do what God said.  One day, God told Noah to build a REALLY BIG boat called an ark. So, that’s what Noah did. He started building right away. It took a very long time, but Noah built the ark just like God told him. Do you know why God told Noah to build such a big, BIG boat? The ark needed to be that big because God told Noah to put two of every animal on the ark! That’s a lot of animals.  There are SO many animals in the world. And lots, and lots, of animals went into the ark. Then God shut the door. We might think Noah was worried. He was getting in a BIG boat with all of those animals, and He didn’t know what would happen next. But Noah knew he didn’t have to worry because God’s got it! After every person and animal was on the ark, it began to ...

Hagar

Genesis 21:14-20 WATCH VIDEO Take-Home Activities Our true story is found in a part of the Bible called Genesis. The word genesis means “the beginning.” We being in the desert. Have you ever been to a desert? Some deserts are sandy and hot . . . really, really hot. In the hot desert was a mother named Hagar and her son. They were very tired and very hot. What do people need when they are very tired and very hot? They need water! And Hagar and her son really needed some water. But they didn’t have any—not even a drop of water! They were out, and Hagar didn’t know what to do. Hagar put her son under a tree then she walked somewhere else and sat. They were just too tired and hot and thirsty to walk anymore. And that’s when Hagar began to cry. Then Hagar’s son cried, too. They were both crying. Hagar and her son were all alone in the desert. They were tired, thirsty, and hot. They thought no one could hear them crying. But Someone DID hear them! It was GOD! God always hear us. And as Hagar...

Moses in the Basket

Exodus 1:22–2:10 WATCH VIDEO Take-Home Activities Our true Bible story comes from a part of the Bible called Exodus. The word “exodus” means to leave or go away from. We begin in a place called Egypt with a mommy and her little baby boy. This mommy loved her baby boy and took very good care of him. His name was Moses. But there was a problem. One very big problem! There was a really mean pharaoh in charge of all of Egypt. The pharaoh is like a king, and this king made a VERY bad rule. He said that all baby boys like Moses had to be taken away from their families! Of course, baby Moses’ mom did not want her baby to be taken away from her. But she knew God would take care of him. She trusted that God’s got it. So, this is what Moses’ mommy did. First, she made a special basket. Then, she gently laid baby Moses in the basket. After Moses’ mom laid him in the basket, she took the basket to the river and hid him in the tall grass. Moses’ big sister, Miriam, stayed to watch and see what woul...

Daniel 3:1-28 WATCH VIDEO Take-Home Activities Our true story is found in a part of the Bible called Daniel. Daniel was a man that loved God very much and lived in a land called Babylon. We begin with a king named Nebuchadnezzar. King Nebuchadnezzar thought he was the best king there ever was, and he wanted everyone to know it. One day, he had an idea of how he would let everyone know he was the best. He told his workers to make a giant golden statue for everyone to bow down to and worship. After King Nebuchadnezzar had the statue made, he told all of the people in the kingdom that every time they heard a special music play, he wanted everyone to bow down to the statue! Then, the king told everyone if they didn’t bow down to this statue when they heard the special music, he would throw them into the fire! Each day, the music played. And everyone in the crowd bowed down. One day, when the music played, some of the king’s helpers saw three men NOT bowing down to the statue. This made the...
