1 Corinthians 16:14 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called the First Letter to the Corinthians. The letter was written by a man named Paul, who loved Jesus and wanted everyone to know about Him. If Jesus had a party, EVERYONE would be invited. Grown-ups would be invited! And children would be invited! Everyone can celebrate that Jesus loves them because Jesus loves everyone. And Jesus wants US to love everyone, too. In fact, Jesus said, “Do everything in love.” Wow, everything? Let’s think about that. Let’s say you’re at the grocery store, and the checkout worker seems like he’s had a sad day. You’re done with your groceries and are just about to leave. What could you do to show love? You could say, ‘Bye! Thank you. Have a great day!’ I bet they would smile and wave back! Okay, let’s try another one. Your brother runs into the kitchen and really wants a . . . COOKIE! But there’s only ONE left. And you’re holding it. He’s upset that he didn’t get a cookie. What could you d...

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. His job was to collect money from everyone in town.  So, let’s say you have five dollars. Count with me: one, two, three, four, five. And you owe three dollars for taxes. Count with me: one, two, three. The problem was, Zacchaeus would take MORE than you owed for taxes. How many do we have left? Two dollars. Zacchaeus would take that, too. So, Zacchaeus would take ALL FIVE of your dollars. That’s what Zacchaeus did day after day. He took MORE money than he was supposed to and kept it for himself! It was wrong. And it made everyone really mad at Zacchaeus. But one day, something wonderful happened. Jesus came to town! Everyone was so excited to see Him. Zacchaeus was excited, too. But there was one problem. Zacchaeus was too short...

John 4:1-30 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!" A long time ago, people would go to a well to get water. They didn’t have sinks or refrigerators or water bottles. If someone was thirsty, they had to go to a well for water!  And in this particular story, can you guess who was thirsty? Jesus! He had been walking a long way, and He was tired.  So Jesus sat down at a well. A woman came to the well to get water while Jesus sat there. The woman looked at Jesus and knew that they were from different towns. Jesus asked the woman, "Will you give me a drink?"  The woman was surprised Jesus asked her for water because she knew people from her town were not friends with people from His town. So the woman said, "Why are you asking me for a drink?"  Do you think that where she was from mattered to Jesus? No, of course not! No matter w...

Matthew 22:8-10 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!” Jesus sometimes taught people using special teaching stories called parables. Jesus told a story about a huge party table that could seat lots of people. Did you know that when you invite someone to a party, you call them your “guest”? It’s true! And when you have a party guest, you want them to feel loved and welcome. And you want to have your table all ready. You put out decorations and flowers, and all kinds of things to make the table look nice. But then you need a few more things. What else do you think a party table needs for our guests?  Some plates would be helpful. And, if we have plates for our party guests, I think we need food to put on them. We don’t want the guests to be hungry. What should we serve? Your guests will eat well at your party.  Oh! And, we’ll want to add ...

Matthew 7:24-27 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!” Jesus sometimes taught people using special teaching stories called parables. Jesus often told stories to teach us important things! This story Jesus told was about two men who each decided to build a house. One wanted to build on the sand. And one wanted to build on rock. If you had to choose where you wanted to build your house, would you build it on the sand or on the rock? Well, the two men went forward with their plans, and they each built a house. Both houses looked great and everything was fine until . . . until it started raining! And it rained harder and harder. Oh no! It rained so hard. Do you know what happened to the house on the sand?  It fell right down! The water washed the sand away and the house fell down. But guess what happened to the house built on the rock? Nothing! ...

Luke 10:25-37   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!” Jesus sometimes taught people using special teaching stories called parables. Jesus told a story about a man walking along the road.  All of the sudden, some robbers came and hurt the man. He had so many boo-boos. He needed help. Then, someone came walking along. Oh, no! He didn’t stop to help. He just walked right by. Then, another man came walking by. But he didn’t stop either. He just walked on by.  Then a third man came by. This man was a Samaritan. No one would expect him to help, because Samaritan people and the hurt man’s people were not friends. The Samaritan man helped the hurt man! He even put him on his donkey . . . . . . and took him to a place to stay until he was all better.    We can help our teachers, parents, friends—everyone! The very important thing Jesus...

Acts 2:45; Luke 12:16-21 Our true story 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 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!” Jesus sometimes taught people using special teaching stories called parables.  Jesus told one story about a farmer. The farmer grew a lot of food for his family. Like a lot a lot. Then, he had to put the food in his barn, and his barn filled up very fast! That barn was full. Uh-oh. The barn was full, but there was still food left to store. What should the farmer do with all the extra food?  Hmmm. Then the farmer had an idea! He would build a BIGGER barn. Then he could fill it up and keep ALL the food for himself. It would be WAY more food than he needed, but he wanted to keep it all.  Hmm, tell me, is there a...
