John 9:1-12 Our true story is found in at part of the Bible called the Gospel of John. John was one of the friends and helpers of Jesus. And the word "Gospel" means "good news!"  One day, Jesus and His friends were walking along a road.    Jesus noticed something, and He stopped. Do you know what Jesus saw? Jesus saw a man who was blind. That means that his eyes couldn’t see. If you closed your eyes for a minute, what could you see? Nothing. You could not see anyone and you could not tell if it was sunny or dark outside.   When Jesus saw the man who was blind, He did something really amazing Jesus spit on the ground. And He turned the dirt into mud. Yes, mud! Then, Jesus took the mud and put it on the man’s eyes.     Then, Jesus told the man to go wash his face in the water. The man did what Jesus said. He went and washed off the mud with water, and guess what? The man could see!      The man was so amazed. Why? Because Jesus is amazing! WATCH VIDEO Take-Home Activi

Catching Fish

 Luke 5:1-10 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called the Gospel of Luke. Luke loved Jesus and wanted others to know and love Jesus, too. And the word gospel means “good news!” We begin with a group of fishermen. They’d been fishing all night long. Fishing for hours and hours. How many fish do you think they caught after all that fishing? A hundred fish? Two hundred fish? Nope, they caught ZERO fish. Not one. They tried all night but came back without any fish. So sad. So, they brought their boats back to the shore and started cleaning their nets. Just then, Jesus came to the shore. And a crowd of people followed him. They wanted to hear Jesus’ amazing teaching about how much God loves them. But there were so many people, and they kept getting closer and closer and closer. Soon Jesus had no room to stand on the sand, so He asked Peter the fisherman if He could use his boat. Jesus got into the boat, and He taught the people about God. When He finished teaching, He said to Pe

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!” Our true Bible story is about someone who has the most amazing out-of-this-world power. What kind of power do you have? Do you think you could stop the sun from shining in the sky? Try. Yell, "Stop, sun, stop!" Did you stop the sun? No. You don't have the power to stop the sun.  Do you have the power to make it rain? Try. Yell, "Rain!" Did it rain? No. Do you have the power to make it rain? No. You don't have the power. But, there is someone amazing who does! Do you know who it is? Jesus! One day, Jesus and His friends were on a boat out at sea and Jesus took a nap All of the sudden, a huge storm came up! It was raining, thundering, and lightning. And the boat rocked back and forth. So, Jesus’ friends woke Him up! "Help Jesus, help!" they said. And guess

The Four Friends

Mark 2:1-12 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called Mark. Mark loved Jesus and told people about Him so that they could know Jesus, too. There are SO many amazing things we know for sure about Jesus. He’s God’s Son, He’s an amazing teacher, and here we will see Jesus do something NO one else can do. One day, Jesus entered a town, and when people heard he was there, they came running. In fact, everyone crammed into the house where Jesus was teaching. They were so excited to see Jesus. But they weren’t the only ones who wanted to see Jesus. There was a man who had to be carried by his four friends because his legs didn’t work, and he couldn’t walk. When the man and his friends heard that Jesus, God’s Son, was in town, they wanted to see Him. They knew He could do amazing things. But the house was full of people, and they could NOT get in the front door. So, what do you think the friends did? Do you think they gave up and went home? No. Do you think they found a way inside? Y
