This Bible story podcast for kids tells the story of The Thankful Leper. We referenced the following Biblical passages: Luke 17: 11-19. 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 while He was on earth. One day he was traveling to Jerusalem and was going through a village when ten men who had leprosy came to him.

Now in the time Jesus lived, leprosy was a terrible sickness that could be caught very easily. Because of this, people with leprosy were sent outside of the places that they lived. They were called unclean and no one wanted to be close to them.

But when these men who had leprosy saw Jesus coming, they called out to him and said, “Jesus, have mercy on us!”

And Jesus saw them and said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went they were healed and had leprosy no more!

When one of the men saw that he was healed, he came back to Jesus shouting, “Praise God!” He thanked Jesus for what He had done.

Jesus asked, “Didn’t I heal ten men? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give glory to God except this Samaritan?”

Then Jesus said to the man, “Stand up and go. Your faith has healed you.” And so the man was healed because he had faith and he was thankful for what Jesus had done for him.

This Bible story podcast for kids tells the story of Jesus and the Sinful Woman. We referenced the following Biblical passages: Luke 7:36-50. 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 healed many people from their sickness, performed many miracles like calming storms, and even raised people from the dead.

There were a group of Jewish leaders called the Pharisees who heard Jesus speak often. One of the Pharisees, named Simon, asked Jesus to have dinner with him. So Jesus went over to his house and a certain sinful woman heard that he was eating there. She went to the house and brought a jar filled with expensive perfume. She kelt at Jesus’ feet and cried. Her tears fell on his feet and she wiped them with her hair. She kissed his feet and put the perfume on them.

Simon saw this and said to himself, “If this man really were a prophet, he’d know what kind of woman is touching him. She’s a sinner!”

Then Jesus said, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he told him this story - “A man loaned money to two people—500 pieces of silver to one and 50 pieces to the other. But neither of them could repay him, so he kindly forgave them both, canceling their debts. Who do you suppose loved him more after that?”

Simon said that he guessed that one who owed him more loved him more.

Jesus said, “That’s right.” Then he turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Look at this woman kneeling here. When I entered your home, you didn’t offer me water to wash the dust from my feet, but she has washed them with her tears and wiped them with her hair.”

“I tell you, her sins—and they are many—have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love.” Then Jesus said to the woman, “Your sins are forgiven.”

The men at the table said among themselves, “Who is this man, that he goes around forgiving sins?”

And Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”

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 and healed people from their sickness. He did many miracles like calming storms and even raised people from the dead.

At this time the Jewish people were getting ready to celebrate a festival called Passover that had been celebrated since the time of Moses, when God brought his people out of Egypt. Two days before the Passover Jesus was in Bethany at the home of Simon, a man who had previously had leprosy. While Jesus was eating, a woman came in with a beautiful jar of expensive perfume. She broke the jar open and poured perfume over Jesus’ head.

Jesus’ disciples were upset when the saw this. They said, “What a waste! It could have been sold for a high price and the money given to the poor.” So they scolded the woman.

But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why criticize her for doing such a good thing to me? You will always have the poor among you, and you can help them whenever you want to. But you will not always have me. She has poured this perfume on me to prepare my body for burial. I tell you the truth, wherever the Good News is preached throughout the world, this woman’s deed will be remembered.”

This Bible story podcast for kids tells the story of Jesus and the Woman at the Well. We referenced the following Biblical passages: John 4:4-42. 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 healed many people from their sickness, performed many miracles like calming storms, and even raised people from the dead.

One day, Jesus was on his way to Galilee and had to pass through Samaria. Jesus came to a Samaritan village and stopped at a well to rest. His disciples went to the village to buy some food, so Jesus was alone. At about noon, a Samaritan woman came to the well to get water. Jesus said to her, “Please give me a drink.”

The woman was surprised because Jesus was a Jew and Jews refused to have anything to do with Samaritans. She said, “You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan woman. Why are you asking me for a drink?”

Jesus replied, “If you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask me, and I would give you living water.”

The woman was confused and asked where Jesus would get water like that when he didn’t even have a bucket to pull water from the well. Jesus said to her, “Those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.”

The woman asked Jesus for this water so she would never be thirsty again. Jesus then showed the woman that he knew things about her that she never told him, and the woman said, “You must be a prophet!” Then she asked Jesus why Samaritans worshipped in one place while Jews worshipped in another place.

Jesus told her that there would be a time coming when it wouldn’t matter where people worshipped. He said, “The time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way.”

The woman said, “I know the Messiah is coming—the one who is called Christ. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”

Jesus told her, “I am the Messiah!”

Just then Jesus’ disciples came back. They were shocked to find him talking to a woman, but they were too nervous to ask him why. The woman ran back to the village and told everyone to come see Jesus.

She said, “He told me everything I ever did! Could he possibly be the Messiah?” Many Samaritans from the village believed in Jesus because of what the woman had said.

When they came out to see him, they begged him to stay. So he stayed for two days and many more heard what he had to say and believed in him. Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not just because of what you told us, but because we have heard him ourselves. Now we know that he is indeed the Savior of the world.”

For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.” Then he took the children in his arms and blessed them.

But Jesus said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.”

Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I tell you the truth, this poor widow has given more than all the others.” He said this was because the rich people gave a small part of the great amount they had. But the widow was very poor, and she gave everything she had to live on.

This Bible story podcast for kids tells the story of Jesus, the True Vine. We referenced the following Biblical passages: John 15: 1-17. 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 healed many people from their sickness and did many miracles like walking on water.

At this time, the Jewish people were celebrating a festival called Passover that had been celebrated since the time of Moses, when God brought His people out of Egypt. Jesus went to Jerusalem to celebrate. Jesus and His disciples were having the Passover meal together. Jesus told them many things of what was to come and the trials they would face.

Then Jesus told his disciples that he is like the true grapevine and God is the gardener. God will cut off any branch that doesn’t produce fruit. He will also prune a branch, so it can produce more fruit. Jesus told his disciples that God had already done this to them because of what Jesus had taught them. Jesus said, “Remain in me and I will remain with you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is cut off from the vine.”

Then he said, “Yes I am the vine and you are the branches.” He told them that if they continued to have a relationship with him, they would produce much fruit. But if they didn’t continue to have a relationship with him, they would wither away. Branches that wither away like that are thrown into the fire. Jesus said that if his disciples remained in him that they would be able to ask anything in Jesus name and it would be given. They would bear much fruit, and this would bring great glory to God.

Then Jesus said that he loved his disciples as God the Father loved him. He told his disciples to remain in his love by obeying his commandments. Then he gave them a new commandment – to love each other in the same way that he loved them. Jesus told his disciples that they were his friends. He said, “There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” He told them all this so that they would have great joy!

So he ran ahead to a place where he knew Jesus would come. He climbed a sycamore tree so he could see Jesus. When Jesus came to that place, he looked up and saw Zacchaeus in the tree. He said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down! I must stay at your house today.”

Zacchaeus came down quickly. He was pleased to have Jesus in his house. All the people saw this and began to complain, “Look at the kind of man Jesus stays with. Zacchaeus is a sinner!”

But Zacchaeus said to Jesus, “I will give half of my money to the poor. If I have cheated anyone, I will pay that person back four times more!”

Jesus said, “Salvation has come to this house today. This man truly belongs to the family of Abraham. The Son of Man came to find lost people and save them.”

Jesus noticed that all the people at the dinner were trying to sit at the best seats at the table. So he told them this story: “When someone invites you to a wedding feast, don’t take the most important seat. The host may have invited someone more important than you. And if you are sitting in the most important seat, the host will come to you and say, ‘Give this man your seat.’ Then you will begin to move down to the last place. And you will be very embarrassed.

“So when you are invited, go sit in a seat that is not important. Then the host will come to you and say, ‘Friend, we have a better place for you!’ Then all the other guests will respect you. Everyone who makes himself great will be made humble. But the person who makes himself humble will be made great.”
