(Luke 15:1-10 & Psalm 119:174-176) Rejection is a loss as bad as physical pain. What should we do when we experience that kind of social rejection? Jesus has a thought and it starts with dinner (Lost 2/4).

(Luke 14:25-35 & Deuteronomy 22:1-3) Family and friends are so important, as is helping those in need. So, why does Jesus say to hate everything? Find out about the depth of discipleship required of followers of Christ! (Lost 1/4).

(Matthew 27:45-54 & 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17) Dealing with death can be hard to do, but when Jesus dies we see something completely incomprehensible - some dead people come back to life! Is it just a fairy tale or is there something more here to help make us believe? (4/4 Make Believe)

(Jonah 1:1-17 & Mark 4:37-41) The story of Jonah looks like its all about a whale swallowing a man who someone survives in its belly for three days. This impossible scenario is about so much more than that. Hear how the whale, like Captain Ahab in Moby Dick, is really all about revenge (Make Believe 3/4).

(Ezekiel 1:4-20 & John 10:16) Ever wonder what's beyond our galaxy? Though we don't talk about it much in church, so did the ancient authors of the Bible. Consider for a moment what aliens might mean for your faith (Make Believe 2/4).

(Numbers 22:21-35 & Romans 2:14-16) We can make believe or pretend, but when a small voice whispers, or something unbelievable happens in our life, its time to pay attention! See how an animal speaking can lead to the answers you really need (Make Believe 1/4).

(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).
