(Psalm 51:1-12 & Matthew 12:6-8) We sin when we know we are doing something wrong, but sometimes we do exactly the wrong thing and we know it. See how even a king had to confess his sin to make things right and what we can do to make things right among us (Good News Bears 5/7).

(Nehemiah 4:1-15 & 1 Corinthians 3:10-11) Sometimes everything is going right, but other times it can feel like everyone has turned against you. See how angry families and death threats didn't pull Nehemiah away from keeping his eye on the ball (Good News Bears 4/7).

(2 Kings 2:8-15 & Luke 22:31-32) Having a plan for a transition can be wise, especially with children and business. Elisha shows us another important transition that points us to the most important succession of all (Good News Bears 3/7).

(Judges 16:15-22 & Matthew 7:1-3) The baseball hall of fame has some worthy players in it, but maybe they aren't quite the example we are looking for. See how Samson's manages to get in the Bible's hall of fame, despite his flaws (Good News Bears 2/7).

(Judges 2:16-19, 4:4-9 and John 5:30) The Bad News Bears give us a window into what it must have been like for Deborah to lead Israel when everything looks as bad as it could ever get. Find a glimmer of hope through the Good News Bears (Good News Bears 1/7).

(Genesis 8:13-22) When bad news comes it can be hard to accept. In ancient times they got some of the worst news - everything was going to be destroyed in a flood. Noah's story of the flood can teach us some valuable lessons today (Good News Bears Intro).

(1 Samuel 16:1-13 & Luke 15:20-23) Sometimes people do and say things that are truly awful. How should we respond when confronted with irrational anger? A man after God's own heart shows us the way (21st century 6/6).

(1 Samuel 8:4-11, 13, 16-20 & Mark 3:31-35) Different generations can see things very differently, but when we get caught up in what others have, it can go very badly. The prophet Samuel has some insight on a better way to respond (21st century 5/6).

(1 Samuel 3:1-20 & Mark 3:4-6) Sometimes we feel like we are hearing straight from God. How do we know if what we are hearing is God? How do we respond the right way? The boy prophet, Samuel , has a lesson or two for us (4/6 21st century church).

(Joshua 3:14-4:7 & Romans 8:16-17) The specter of war can have a special pull, with war movies and the fight of good versus evil. But what does God say about it? Hear the story of Joshua making memorials as he crosses into the Promised Land and what it can teach us about the memorials we make today (21st century church 3/6).
