Jeremiah

Jeremiah 31:3, 29:11

Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called Jeremiah, named after a man who loved God and told people about God so that they could love Him, too.

Jeremiah was a prophet. That means his job was to talk about God to others. Jeremiah told other people God’s messages. 


One day, God gave Jeremiah a very special message to give to the people. Jeremiah talked about God with others.


Jeremiah gave the people a message from God. He said, “God has plans for you. And God will always love you!” And we can talk about God with others like Jeremiah did! We can talk about God to others and tell them that God loves them and God has plans for them!


Can you think of someone you can talk about God to? We can talk about God with our friends. We can tell them, “God loves you!”


We can talk about God with our neighbors. We can tell them, “God loves you!”


We can talk about God with the person at the grocery store. We can tell them, “God loves you!”


We can talk about God with our teachers. We can tell them, “God loves you!”


We can talk about God with all our family. We can tell them, “God loves you!”


Because God LOVES everyone! That means God loves you and God loves me. So, when anyone asks you, “Who loves you?” You can say, “God loves you!”

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
—Jeremiah 29:11

In our Bible Story, Jeremiah talked about God to other people. I wonder if he marched from person to person or if he hopped! No matter how he got there, Jeremiah made sure to talk about God and let people know that God loved them, and God had plans for them. We can talk about God to others too, because God loves everyone! That means God loves you! And you can say, “God loves me!”

“I will always love you.” —Jeremiah 31:3, CEV

With your family, take a piece of paper and make a list of people you can talk about God to. Have each family member write down the name of one person they can talk to about God. And make sure each family member writes their name next to the person the will talk to about God.

Pray with your family. Allow any family members to pray if they wish. In your own words, say, “Dear God, thank You for loving us. We want everyone to know that You love them too. Help us talk about You with (read the list your family made) so they will know that You love them and have plans for them. We love You, God. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”

The Early Christians Shared Everything

Image
Acts 4:32-37 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. Our Bible story tells us about some people who loved Jesus. The people were gathered together in a room. Buzz, buzz, buzz. The room filled with talking and laughter. The people called themselves Christians because they did what Jesus Christ said to do (Christian means "follower of Christ"). The Christians knew that Jesus was God’s Son. They wanted others to know about Jesus, too. Grandmas, grandpas, moms, dads, and children met together in homes. They would pray, sing, and learn about Jesus together. All these people loved Jesus. They were like one big, happy family. Because they loved Jesus, the Christians happily shared what they had more than others. Everything a person had was happily shared with the rest of the Bible-time Christians. They shared food so every...

Abraham and His Family Moved to a New Land

Genesis 12:1-9 Our story comes from the book, or part, of the Bible called Genesis. Genesis means "the beginning." A man and woman lived in a land called Ur. The man was named Abram and the woman was named Sarai. Abram and Sarai were husband and wife. God called Abram and Sarai and gave them new names! Abram means “nobel father.” But God changed his name to “Abraham,” which means “father of many.” Sarai” means “princess.” But God changed her name to “Sarah,” which means “mother of nations.” Now they were Abraham and Sarah, "father of many" and "mother of nations!" Abraham grew up in the land called Ur. When he was grown, Abraham moved with his family to a new land called Haran. But then, in the land of Haran, God appeared to Abraham and told him to leave his country. God told Abraham to move to a new land. God promised to be with Abraham and show him where to go. God also promised to give Abraham children, grandchildren, and many g...

Jacob and Esau

Genesis 27:41a; 32:9-21; 33:3-11 Our story comes from the book, or part, of the Bible called Genesis. Genesis means "the beginning." The Bible tells us about two brothers, Jacob and Esau. Jacob and Esau were twin brothers. They were the sons of Isaac and the grandsons of Abraham. Jacob and Esau were born at the same time and were the same age. But Esau was a couple of minutes older than Jacob. Because Esau was the oldest son, he would someday receive a special blessing from their father. That was very important. One day, Jacob tricked his father Isaac into giving Jacob the important blessing instead of Esau. Esau was very mad. Esau was so angry that Jacob became afraid. Jacob decided to move away from Esau. So he packed up his things and traveled to another land. Even though God didn’t like what Jacob had done to Esau, God still blessed Jacob. God gave Jacob a large family and many animals. After many years, God told Jacob it was time to g...
