Matthew 4:18-22 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!” One day, Jesus was walking by a big lake. He saw two men working by the water. Their names were Simon and Andrew, and they were fishermen. Do you know what fishermen do? They catch fish with big nets! Simon and Andrew were throwing their nets into the water to catch some fish. Then Jesus called out to them and said, “Come, follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men!” Simon and Andrew didn’t know exactly what that meant, but they knew Jesus was special. They wanted to follow Him and learn from Him. So, they left their nets and their boat right away and went with Jesus. Jesus kept walking by the lake and saw two more fishermen, James and John. They were sitting in their boat with their father, Zebedee, fixing their nets. Jesus called out to them too, “Come, follow Me!” James and John looked...

Luke 19:1-10 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 man named Zacchaeus. Zacchaeus was a tax collector. That meant his job was to take money from people. The problem was that Zacchaeus took money that wasn’t his. Was that a good thing for Zacchaeus to do? No, that was not good. One day, everyone heard that Jesus was coming to their town. The people were SO HAPPY! Zacchaeus was happy too! When the people saw Jesus, they all crowded around so they could see Him. But Zacchaeus couldn’t see Jesus over the crowd. How was Zacchaeus going to see Jesus? If only there was something Zacchaeus could climb. What is something big that Zacchaeus could climb to see Jesus? Do you think Zacchaeus can climb a tree? Yes! Zacchaeus climbed the tree so he could see Jesus. Climb, climb, climb! Zacchaeus climbed a tree, and guess...

John 11:1-3, 20, 28-36 Our true story comes from a 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!” Our true story is about two of Jesus’ friends named Mary and Martha. Mary and Martha were sisters, and they were very sad because their brother, Lazarus, was sick, and he died.  Jesus knew that His friend Lazarus had died . . . so Jesus and His disciples went to where Mary and Martha lived. When Jesus got to Mary and Martha, they were very sad. Mary and Martha cried. What do you think Jesus did when He saw Mary and Martha crying? Do you think Jesus told them to stop being sad? No. Do you think Jesus told them to stop crying? No.  Jesus was a good friend to Mary and Martha, and Jesus cried too. Jesus was sad with Mary and Martha because that’s what good friends do, and Jesus is always a good friend. Do you think Jesus will be a good friend to you when you feel sad? Yes! Jesus cares about you. J...

Luke 17:11-16 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 Jesus and His friends, the disciples. One day, they were walking down a road. As Jesus and His disciples were walking into a village, they heard some men shouting. When Jesus looked, He saw ten men, and they were very sick. Have you even been sick? Being sick is not fun. These ten men were so sick that they had boo-boos on their skin. These boo-boos hurt, and they were boo-boos that only Jesus could make go away. The other people in the village did not want to get boo-boos on their skin, so the sick people had to live far away from all the other people—even away from their families and friends! It was very sad. That’s why the men started shouting when they saw Jesus. They wanted to ask Jesus for help! When Jesus saw the men, Jesus told them to go and let the priests look at their skin....

Matthew 14:22-33 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!” We begin by a lake where Jesus had been teaching people all day. When Jesus was done teaching, He told his friends, the disciples, to get in a boat and go to the other side of the lake. Then Jesus went up on a mountain to pray by Himself.  While the disciples were in the boat, the wind began to blow. The wind blew and blew. It rocked the boat back-and-forth, back-and-forth, back-and-forth. The disciples didn’t know what to do!  Then, something amazing happened! As the wind rocked the boat, the disciples looked out on the water and saw something coming toward them.  As the disciples looked, it got closer and closer and closer. It was a PERSON! The disciples were so afraid! They thought, how could a person really walk on water? Then, the person talked! They said, “It’s me! Don’t...
