(Luke 3:2-18 & Malachi 4:5-6) Sometimes we worry what things might look like for us in the afterlife. Are we really sure we're going to heaven? John the Baptist shows us how even vipers can make it in and it has nothing to do with their snakeskin (Good News Bears 8/8).

(Ezekiel 33:1-20 & 1 John 2:1-3) Sometimes it can feel like fate will take us to the top, or drag us down to the very bottom. Hear how the prophet Ezekiel dealt with the successes and the failures of his people as he watched over them, like an angel in the outfield (Good News Bears 7/8).

(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).
