Matthew 1:18-24 and Luke 1:26-38 In today’s episode, we explore the miraculous story of Mary and Joseph and how God chose them for an extraordinary purpose. Mary, a young woman in Nazareth, was preparing for her wedding to Joseph when her life was interrupted by an angel named Gabriel. Gabriel brought incredible news—Mary would give birth to Jesus, the Son of God. We also learn about Joseph’s reaction when he found out and how God sent an angel to reassure him in a dream. Through their faith and obedience, Mary and Joseph show us how to trust God, even when His plans seem bigger than anything we could imagine.

2 Kings 3:20-25 Today’s episode continues our journey with Elisha and the three kings. When the Israelites were in need, God performed an amazing miracle—filling the land with water, even though there was no rain! The Moabites, the enemies of Israel, thought the water was blood and believed the armies had fought each other. They charged in, only to find the Israelites ready to fight! We are reminded of God’s power and ability to work in such mysterious ways. We use a relatable example for kids to show them that God is always with them, actively working in their lives, even in ways they might not see right away.

We are safe and well but are still without Internet and cell phone. This makes it quite difficult to upload or edit episodes for sound effects, music etc. This is not our usual episode but I wanted to get this information out to you as well as encourage the kids from what we have learned during the storm. We have seen God show up in beautiful ways and have seen people be the hands and feet of Christ during it. I hope it encourages kids and reminds them of God's goodness and provision even during storms; whether it's a literal or figurative storm in their life. We appreciate your patience as we await for some of the infrastructure where we live to get up and going. Please pray for those men and women who have been working 15 hour das on the powerlines, fixing the water system, and those helping the community. Please pray for those who lost everything. So many have lost businesses or homes and most don't have flood insurance because this event was such a rare situation.

In this final episode of the Lazarus series, we reflect on the events leading up to Jesus’ resurrection. As Passover approaches, Jesus visits Bethany, where He is honored at a dinner hosted by Lazarus and his sisters. Mary anoints Jesus’ feet with expensive perfume, demonstrating her deep reverence, while Judas objects, revealing his ulterior motives. The episode highlights the growing crowds drawn to see Jesus and Lazarus, prompting the chief priests to plot against them. We then hear Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem, where He is celebrated with palm branches as the crowd shouts "Hosanna!"—a moment that fulfills the prophecy in Zechariah 9:9. We explore the significance of these events, especially their connection to Palm Sunday, and how they were all part of God’s divine plan. The episode concludes with a reflection on the resurrection of Jesus, emphasizing His promise of eternal life to all who believe in Him. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- To enjoy the library of bonus content (coloring pages, sheets, memory verse, etc) for the episodes go here and click bonus content.
