Jesus calls the children

MARK 10:13-15

God loves each and every one of his children –big and small.

One day, a group of mothers brought their little ones to Jesus. The children were so excited! But Jesus’ helpers said, “Go away!”

Jesus said, “No, do not chase them away! Come here!”

The children were very happy and Jesus prayed for them. Jesus loves children! Children are important to God.

PRAYER

I am glad that I am important to you, even though I am young. Amen.

The YesKids series is based on 2 Corinthians 1:20-22. God’s promises are stamped with a big YES! from Jesus, who is the centre of everything we preach, teach and pray - He is God’s great Amen (so be it). When we say YES! to Jesus, the Bible tells us: “God affirms us, making us a sure thing in Christ, putting his Yes within us” (The Message). The YesKids Bible Story Series helps children to be YesKids who say a big Yes! to following Jesus. Each story is accompanied by a prayer to help children connect with God and a Christian value that reinforces the story. The books include guidelines for helping children with faith-building, vocabulary, numeracy- and reading skills and emotional development.

take a look inside!

8 David a n d Goliat – 1 Samuel 17

All the Israelites, excepting for young David, were very scared of the giant, Goliath.

He said to his brothers and the soldiers, “Don’t be afraid. God is much bigger and stronger than Goliath. I will fight him. God has helped me to kill a lion and a bear before.”

So David took his sling and he went out to meet Goliath. Goliath laughed in David’s face, as he looked down at him!

Do you think Sammy and Amy will find the Bible? Please help them! The Bible teaches us that God helps us when we put our trust in Him.

But David said, “Laugh all you like. I come in the Name of the Almighty God.”

Then David picked up a smooth stone, placed it in his sling, and began swinging... the stone struck Goliath on the forehead. Goliath fell down dead! David trusted in God, and God helped him.

Noah and the flood

The pharaoh allowed the Israelites to go to their own land. The Egyptians even gave them presents so that they would leave quickly. Everyone was joyful and excited. They were free! The Lord promised them, “I will bring you into a good land. It has a lot of room. It’s a land that has plenty of milk and honey.”

God led the people through the desert to the Red Sea. By day, the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud. At night, he led them with a pillar of fire. It gave them light.

The pharaoh soon felt sorry that he had let the Israelites go. Now he didn’t have slaves to do the work for him! He gathered his army. They chased after the Israelites with horses and chariots.

The Israelites were camping on the shore of the Red Sea. They looked back and saw the Egyptians coming in their direction.

They were terrified. They said to Moses, “Did you bring us to the desert to die?

You should have left us alone in Egypt. At least we were safe there!”

Moses said, “Don’t be afraid. Stand firm. You will see how the Lord will save you today. The Lord will fight for you. Just be still.”

Jesus and the children

The pillar of cloud in front of the Israelites moved back so that it was between the Israelites and the Egyptians. The cloud brought darkness to the Egyptians, but light to the Israelites.

Then the Lord told Moses to hold his walking stick out over the Red Sea. All that night, the Lord pushed the water back with a strong east wind. He turned the sea into dry land. The people of Israel crossed the sea on dry ground. There was a wall of water on their right side and a wall of water on their left.

The Egyptians followed the Israelites through the Red Sea. Then the Lord threw them in a panic. The wheels of the chariots jammed and couldn’t go forward or backward. All the Israelites arrived safely on the other side. Then the Lord told Moses to reach out his hand over the sea. Moses did, and the water flowed back. It covered the pharaoh’s army. Not one of the Egyptians was left.

That day the Lord saved Israel from the Egyptians, and the Israelites saw the amazing power of the Lord. The Israelites were learning that they could trust the Lord to help them.
