This Bible story podcast for kids tells the story of Jesus Heals a Sick Woman. We referenced the following Biblical passages: Matthew 9:18-22; Mark 5:21-34; Luke 8:40-48. Hey-O Kids Curriculum’s primary goal with the Stories of the Bible is to tell the stories from God’s word accurately and in a way that is engaging to children of all ages.

This is Jesus. Who is the Son of God and the Savior of the World. Jesus did many amazing things. He taught everyone about God’s love, healed people from their sickness, and even calmed storms!

One day a crowd met Jesus as he was getting off a boat. A Jewish leader came to Jesus and begged Jesus to help him. Jesus went with the man and the crowd followed him. A woman in the crowd had been sick for twelve years and spent all her money to pay doctors to help her, but she had only gotten worse. She heard about Jesus, and she thought to herself, “If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.” So the woman came up behind Jesus and touched his robe. Immediately, the woman was healed!

Jesus felt that healing power had gone out from him, so he asked, “Who touched my robe?”

Everyone in the crowd said they didn’t touch him, and Peter told Jesus that the whole crowd was touching him. But Jesus kept looking because he knew someone touched him on purpose because he felt healing power go out from him. The woman realized she couldn’t stay hidden, and she fell on her knees before Jesus. She explained why she had touched Jesus and Jesus said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over.”

Jesus went on his way to heal another and the woman was healed from her terrible sickness because of her faith.

This Bible story podcast for kids tells the story of Jesus in the Temple. We referenced the following Biblical passages: Luke 2. Hey-O Kids Curriculum’s primary goal with the Stories of the Bible is to tell the stories from God’s word accurately and in a way that is engaging to children of all ages.

This is Jesus. Jesus is the Son of God and the Savior of the world. Jesus was born in Bethlehem in a barn because there was no room in the inn for him. After Jesus was born, his mother, Mary and her husband Joseph took Jesus to the temple in Jerusalem.

There was a man named Simeon who loved God. God had told Simeon that he would meet the Savior before he died. When Mary and Joseph arrived at the temple, Simeon was there. When Simeon saw Jesus he took him in his arms and blessed him. He knew that this was the promised child who would save them all. Mary and Joseph were amazed at his words.

There was also a woman named Anna in the temple. When she saw the baby that Simeon was holding and heard all the he said, she gave thanks to God and told everyone that the Savior had come!

When everything had been done as God commanded, Mary and Joseph went home to Nazareth. Jesus grew up. He became strong and filled with wisdom. And the favor of God was upon him.

Every year Jesus’ parents traveled to Jerusalem for a festival. When Jesus was 12, they went just like every other year. But when the festival was over and Mary and Joseph were traveling back home, they realized that Jesus was not with them.

So they returned to Jerusalem to look for him. They searched everywhere and after three days they found him in the temple. Jesus was sitting among the religious teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.

When Mary and Joseph found him they said, “Why have you done this? We’ve been searching for you everywhere!”

But Jesus said, “Why did you look for me? Didn’t you know I would be here in my father’s house?” But his parents didn’t understand what he meant. So Jesus left with them and came back to Nazareth where he obeyed them and he continued to grow in wisdom and favor with God and man.

This Bible story podcast for kids tells the story of Jesus and the Wisemen. We referenced the following Biblical passages: Matthew 2. Hey-O Kids Curriculum’s primary goal with the Stories of the Bible is to tell the stories from God’s word accurately and in a way that is engaging to children of all ages.

This is Jesus! Jesus is the Son of God who would grow up to do amazing things. His parents on earth were Mary and Joseph. Jesus was born in a barn because there was no room for him anywhere else in Bethlehem.

Bethlehem was part of Judea, an area that was ruled by a king named Herod. King Herod was in Jerusalem when some wise men from eastern lands arrived in Jerusalem asking, “Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose and we have come to worship him.”

When Herod heard that there was another king born in Judea he was very upset, as was everyone else in Jerusalem. So Herod called all the important priests and Jews together and asked them where this king was supposed to be born.

The Jews knew that their king would eventually come and it was always told to them that the king of the Jews, the savior of the world would be born in Bethlehem. So they told that to king Herod.

Then King Herod thought of a way to trick the wise men, so he called a private meeting with them and learned from them when the king of the Jews’ star first appeared. And then King Herod told the wise men, “Go to Bethlehem and search carefully for the child. And when you find him, come back and tell me so that I can go and worship him, too!”

But secretly Herod wanted to know where the king of the Jews was so he could get rid of him.

So the wise men went on their way. And the star they had seen in the east guided them to Bethlehem. It went ahead of them and stopped over the place where Jesus was, and the wise men were filled with joy!

They went into the house and saw Mary and Jesus and they bowed down and worshipped Jesus. They gave him special gifts fit for the king that he was - gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

Then God warned them in a dream to not go home through Jerusalem where king Herod was, but God told them to go home a different way.

So they did and then an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream and said “Get up!” The angel told Joseph to go to Egypt with Mary and Jesus because Herod was looking to kill Jesus.

That very night, Joseph left for Egypt with Jesus and Mary. They stayed in Egypt until Herod was gone and it was safe for them to go home to Israel. When they returned, an angel warned them about the new ruler of Judea who was Herod’s son, so Joseph and his family went to the region of Galilee and found their new home in the town of Nazareth where Jesus would grow up and eventually do all the amazing things God planned for him to do!

This Bible story podcast for kids tells the story of Jesus Is Born. We referenced the following Biblical passages: Luke 2: 1-7. Hey-O Kids Curriculum’s primary goal with the Stories of the Bible is to tell the stories from God’s word accurately and in a way that is engaging to children of all ages.

This is Mary. Mary was the mother of Jesus, but before that happened she lived in the town of Nazareth. And she was engaged to marry a man named Joseph. Mary got pregnant by the power of God. Joseph didn’t understand all this at first, but an angel came and told him to still take Mary as his wife. So he did as the angel said.

Not long after that the ruler of the land, Caesar Augustus, wanted to count how many people were in the land. So Caesar Augustus ordered everyone in the land to travel back to their home towns so that they could be counted.

Joseph’s home town was Bethlehem, so Mary and Joseph traveled from Nazareth all the way to Bethlehem. When they arrived in Bethlehem, they looked for a place to stay. But there was no room for them. So they stayed in a barn and while they were there Mary gave birth to Jesus!

She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger. And so the Son of God, the Savior of the world was born in a barn in Bethlehem.

Hey-O Kids Curriculum’s primary goal with the Stories of the Bible is to tell the stories from God’s word accurately and in a way that is engaging to children of all ages.

On the night Jesus was born, there were some shepherds in a field keeping watch over their sheep. Suddenly, an angel appeared before them and a bright light shone all around them! The shepherds were so scared, but the angel said, “Don’t be afraid. I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people! The Savior, yes the Messiah, the Lord has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David!”

The angel told the shepherds that they would find Jesus in a barn wrapped in strips of cloth, laying in a manger. Then the angel was joined by many, many other angels, and all of them sang, “Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.”

Then the angels returned to heaven and the shepherds said to each other, “Let’s go to Bethlehem!” So they hurried to the village and found the baby Jesus laying in the manger.

After seeing Jesus, the shepherds told everyone what had happened and what the angel had told them about the baby Jesus. Everyone who heard the shepherds’ story were amazed. Mary made sure she remembered all these things and thought about them often.

Then shepherds went back to their sheep, and praised God for all they had seen. The baby was exactly who the angel had told them he was - the Savior of the world, the Son of God!

This Bible story podcast for kids tells the story of Mary and Joseph. We referenced the following Biblical passages: Luke 1: 26-38 and Matthew 1: 18-25. Hey-O Kids Curriculum’s primary goal with the Stories of the Bible is to tell the stories from God’s word accurately and in a way that is engaging to children of all ages.

This is Mary. Mary was the mother of Jesus, but before that happened she lived in the town of Nazareth. Mary had no children because she lived according to God’s law and had never been married. But she was engaged to marry a man named Joseph.

One day, an angel came to Mary and said that God had chosen Mary. The angel said, “God is with you!” But Mary was afraid and confused. She wondered what the angel was talking about.

Then the angel said, “Don’t be afraid! God loves you and wants to use you in a great way! You will give birth to a son and you will name him Jesus! He will be very great and he will be the king forever!”

Mary asked, “But how can this happen?” For she was not married yet and knew that she couldn’t have a child until she was married.

But the angel told Mary that the Holy Spirit would make her pregnant, so that the baby born will be holy and will be called the Son of God! The angel reminded her that, “Nothing is impossible with God!”

So Mary decided to trust God and all that he had planned for her.

Before their wedding, Joseph found out that Mary was pregnant. He thought she had done something wrong. But Joseph was a man of God and decided to break off the engagement quietly so no one around town would think badly of Mary.

While Joseph was thinking about all this, an angel appeared to him in a dream. The angel said, “Joseph, don’t be afraid to take Mary as your wife.” The angel explained that Mary’s baby was from God. The angel told Joseph that the baby’s name would be Jesus and he would save his people from their sins.

And when Joseph woke up he did as the angel told him to and took Mary as his wife while she was still pregnant with the Son of God. And so Joseph and Mary trusted in God and the two followed the plan that God had given them to help bring the Savior into the world.

This Bible story podcast for kids tells the story of Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind. We referenced the following Biblical passages: John 9. Hey-O Kids Curriculum’s primary goal with the Stories of the Bible is to tell the stories from God’s word accurately and in a way that is engaging to children of all ages.

This is Jesus. Who is the son of God and the Savior of the world. While Jesus was on earth, He taught everyone about God’s love. He did many miracles and healed people of their sickness.

One day Jesus was walking with His disciples when He saw a man who was born blind. That means this man could not see. His disciples wondered whose fault it was that this man was blind and asked Jesus, “Why was this man born blind? Was it because he sinned or because his parents sinned?”

Jesus told them it was not because anyone sinned, but rather it was because the power of God could be shown through this man’s life. Then Jesus spit on the ground and made mud. He spread the mud over the blind man’s eyes and told him, “Go wash yourself in the pool of Siloam.” So the man went and did as Jesus said and he could see!

The man’s neighbors and others who knew him as the blind man wondered if this was the same man. They said, “No, he just looks like him!”

But the blind man kept saying, “Yes, it’s me!”

So the people asked, “Who healed you? What happened?” And the man told them all that Jesus had done for him.

The people asked, “Where is Jesus now?” But the man didn’t know. So the people took the man to the Pharisees because it was the Sabbath, the day of rest, and they thought Jesus shouldn’t have made mud and healed the man on the Sabbath. The Pharisees asked the man so many questions and he answered them.

He told them, “I was blind but now I can see!” The Pharisees kept asking more questions. They even brought his parents in to ask them, but they wouldn’t answer. Finally the man had enough and yelled, “Look! I told you once. Why do you want to hear it again? If this man were not from God, he couldn’t have made me see!”

The Pharisees were so mad at the man for saying this that they threw him out of the synagogue.

Jesus heard what happened and He found the man and asked him, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

The man answered, “Who is he, sir? I want to believe in him.”

“You have seen him,” Jesus said, “and he is speaking to you!”

“Yes, Lord, I believe!” the man said. And he worshiped Jesus.

Great crowds followed Jesus wherever He went. One day after Jesus had done a great miracle, He sent the disciples in a boat across the lake while He stayed and sent the people home. After sending them home, Jesus went up into the hills by himself to pray.

Meanwhile, the disciples were in trouble far away from land, for a strong wind had risen, and they were fighting heavy waves. About three o’clock in the morning Jesus came toward them, walking on the water. When the disciples saw Him walking on the water, they were terrified. In their fear, they cried out, “It’s a ghost!”

But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “Take courage. I am here!”

Then Peter called to him, “Lord, if it’s really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water.”

So Jesus said, “Yes, come.”

So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. “Save me, Lord!” he shouted.

Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him. Jesus said, “You have so little faith. Why did you doubt me?”

When they climbed back into the boat, the wind stopped. Then the disciples worshiped Him and said, “You really are the Son of God!”

A crowd started to gather around Jesus, there were 5,000 men and many more women and children. Turning to Philip, he asked, “Where can we buy bread to feed all these people?”

You see, Jesus was testing Philip, for He already knew what He was going to do.

Philip replied, “Even if we worked for months, we wouldn’t have enough money to feed them!”

Then Andrew spoke up. “There’s a young boy here with five barley loaves and two fish. But what good is that with this huge crowd?”

Jesus said, “Tell everyone to sit down.”

Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks to God, and gave them to the people. Afterward He did the same with the fish. And they all ate as much as they wanted. After everyone was full, Jesus told His disciples, “Now gather the leftovers, so that nothing is wasted.”

So they picked up the pieces and filled twelve baskets with scraps left by the people who had eaten from the five barley loaves and two fish.

When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. Jesus turned to his followers and said, “I tell you the truth, I haven’t seen faith like this in all Israel!”

Then Jesus said to the Roman officer, “Go back home. Because you believed, it has happened.” And the young servant was healed that same hour.
