Hello, child of God! One day, someone asked Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?” Instead of giving a quick and easy answer, Jesus told us an important story. It’s about a man on a journey who fell into trouble along the way. Help was found in the most unlikely person. Listen and discover who our neighbors truly are.

Hello, child of God! Have you ever been so mad that you wanted to run away? Jesus tells a story in the New Testament about a boy who was so unhappy that he did just that―he ran away from his home and from his daddy.

Hello, child of God! One day, lots of boys and girls and grownups followed Jesus out into the countryside to listen to him teach and preach. The day grew long, and the people grew hungry. There weren’t any grocery stores or restaurants around... besides, Jesus had a better idea anyway! Taking the gifts of a young boy, Jesus found a way to feed a multitude.

Hello, child of God! Jesus was a very busy man. All day long, people came from far and wide to see him. He spent his days healing sick people and teaching others about God. The disciples thought Jesus was too busy and too important to spend time with little children. But when grownups brought their children to see Jesus, he made time for them and taught us all something special about God’s kingdom.

Hello, child of God! In today's story, Jesus and his disciples were out on a boat when a big storm came upon them. The wind was loud and the waves were strong.

Hello, child of God! Babies need lots of special care, don’t they? God loves babies. Today, I want to tell you about a special baby boy named Moses. This Old Testament story shares about the ways God took care of baby Moses, and reminds us of the ways God takes care of us today.

Hello, child of God! Today’s story is about a big family with 12 brothers. Joseph was one of these brothers. Together, we will learn about the ways God was with Joseph through the good days and the bad. God never left Joseph’s side, and God will never leave YOU.

Hello, child of God! I just love a good rain. We need rain for drinking, cooking, washing, and growing. But sometimes, the earth can get too much rain. Today’s story is about a time when the earth got too much rain. Listen for God’s promise to Noah and to you.

Hello, child of God! I want to tell you the story about the very beginning . . . and how God created everything! I believe God still creates things today. You are a beautiful part of God’s creation, and God wants you to know it.
