Exodus 16 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called Exodus. The word “exodus” means to leave or go away from. We begin with some people called the Israelites.  The Israelites were pretty unhappy. They were walking in a desert. Deserts are HOT! There are no trees to sit under in a desert. There’s no cool water to swim in. There are no grocery stores or restaurants for food. And the Israelites had been walking in a hot desert for a very long time. They walked and they walked and they walked. They were hot. And tired. And they were HUNGRY! Their tummies were growling. The Israelites were very hungry because they didn’t have any food! God knew that the Israelites needed food. So, God told their leader Moses that he would send food. At night, when the moon and stars were in the sky, God sent meat to eat. They had plenty of meat to eat! Everyone was so happy to have food. Thank you, God! Then, in the morning, when the sun was in the sky, there were small pieces of bread all ov...

They were good, good friends.  One time, Jonathan was so thankful for his friend, David, that he took off his coat and gave it to him! Then Jonathan gave David his sword and his bow. He even gave David his belt. Wow! David was so thankful that God gave him Jonathan to be his good friend!  What can WE do to show God we are thankful for?

What else can ...

Ruth 1–2 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible Ruth. And that part of the Bible is named after someone in our story. We begin with a woman named Naomi. Naomi was sad. She was so sad because her husband and sons had died and she was alone. So, Naomi decided to go back to the town where she grew up. But there was Ruth. Ruth was married to Naomi’s son. Ruth said, “I’m your family, Naomi! Wherever you go, I will go. Wherever you live, I will live.” Wow! That’s awesome. That made Naomi feel HAPPY! Naomi was SO happy that she and Ruth were family and that she had someone to walk with her. So, Naomi and Ruth walked together all the way to the town where Naomi used to live.  When they got to the town where Naomi used to live, Ruth and Naomi took care of each other. They needed food because they were hungry. Ruth and Naomi’s tummies were rumbling because they were hungry.

Exodus 2:4-10, 15:20-21; Micah 6:4 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called Exodus. The word “exodus” means to leave or go away from. Our true story also comes from a part of the Bible called Micah. Micah loved God and told people what God wanted them to know. We begin with a woman named Miriam. The Bible teaches us that Miriam was sent by God to help His people. Miriam knew that God was with her, and that made her strong and courageous so she could do brave things. When Miriam was a young girl, she had a baby brother named Moses. To keep Moses safe, her mother had to hide him. Miriam’s mother put baby Moses in a basket and placed it in the tall grass by the river. Then Miriam was brave and stayed to watch over her baby brother. When a princess came to the water and saw Baby Moses, God helped Miriam be brave so she could talk to the princess and help keep her baby brother safe for a long time. Another time Miriam was brave was when she and her brother, Moses, were grown-ups...

Esther 2:21–8:17 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called Esther. Esther loved God and trusted Him even when that was very hard to do. There are several different people in our story. First, we have a queen named Esther. Queen Esther was one of God’s people, and she was a super brave helper.  Then, there was Haman. Haman worked for the king, but he did NOT love God. Haman tricked the king into making a plan that would hurt all of God’s people! OH, NO! If the king hurts God’s people, it will hurt Queen Esther’s family. When Queen Esther heard about Haman’s plan, she was so sad. She knew that she needed to help her family, God’s people. She needed to talk to the king. But there was one BIG problem! Queen Esther knew that you needed a special invitation to go talk to the king. Esther was afraid because she might get in trouble for going to see the king without being invited. Queen Esther asked all of God’s people to pray for her for three days. Count with me: One, two, thr...
