This Bible story for kids tells the story of Adam and Eve. We referenced the following Biblical passages: Genesis 1:26-31. Hey-O Kids Curriculum’s primary goal with the Stories of the Bible animation is to tell the stories from God’s word accurately and in a way that is engaging to children of all ages. 

God made the whole world and everything in it. He made the sun and the stars in the sky. He made the fish in the sea and the animals that walk on land. He made every tree and flower. God also made man. God said, “Let us make man to be like us. They will reign over all the animals and fish of the world.” 

So God created man and woman. The first man was named Adam. And the first woman was called Eve. Then God blessed them and gave Adam and Eve jobs to do – they were supposed to take care of all the animals that God had created like the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground. Adam and Eve were also supposed to have children to fill the earth with more people. Then God looked over all he had made and he saw that it was very good!

NOAH AND THE FLOOD

Hey parents! Use these questions as a guide to talk over this week’s Bible story called Noah and the Flood with your child after they’ve watched this week’s Church at Home elementary video. And remember the Big Idea: I can make a difference with God.

1. What was your favorite part of the video we just watched? Do you have any questions about what you saw?
2. Why did God tell Noah to build the ark?
   Because Noah was faithful to God. God was going to flood the Earth because of all the evil in the world, but God would protect Noah because Noah had followed and believed in God.
3. What did Noah do with the instructions God gave him?
   He followed them exactly as God had said to do!
4. Where can you find God’s instructions for you?
   He gives us instructions on how to live our lives in the Bible. He sometimes talks to us through prayer and through wise people in our lives who love him, too.
5. What should you do if you don’t understand God’s instructions?
   You can pray and ask God to help you understand. You can ask an adult you trust to help you learn what God is saying and what he wants you to do. If you still don’t understand, you can choose to believe in God anyway and trust that his plans are good, and that they are for you.
6. What are some things you believe about God?
   Encourage your child to share what they already believe about God. Share with them why you believe in God and some of the things you love and believe about God.

Today's story comes from Matthew 14:22-33 ESV (from Bible Gateway)
22 Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. 23 And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, 24 but the boat by this time was a long way[b] from the land,[c] beaten by the waves, for the wind was against them. 25 And in the fourth watch of the night[d] he came to them, walking on the sea. 26 But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!” and they cried out in fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.”

28 And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” 29 He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind,[e] he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” 31 Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. 33 And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”

Jesus had some friends who need help that only he could give. One of his friends was really sick so his friends asked him to come to their town and heal Lazarus. But Jesus took too long to get there and Lazarus died! You'll never believe what happened next!

The new Saddleback Kids Worship album, Side By Side, is a collection of ten songs that declare our identity in  Jesus’ resurrection power, the goodness of God, His promises, and so much more. The prayer from  our team is that these songs are planted in the hearts of kids now so they can speak to them throughout their lives. We pray that these songs would be the soundtrack to the everyday lives of families, provide words and music for kids to worship with at church, and fill homes with children singing out to God. We hope that this album will be a reminder that the presence of God is available not just to adults, but to every child for the Kingdom of God belongs to them!

Stream Side by Side and the whole album wherever you listen to music!

Jesus and the disciples met a man who couldn't see. Why would God make someone who was blind? Did the man do something wrong? Did his parents? And also... what a weird way to perform a miracle!

DANIEL IN THE LIONS’ DEN

Hey parents! Use these questions as a guide to talk over this week’s lesson, Daniel in the Lions’ Den, with your child after they’ve watched the video service!

1. What was your favorite part of the video we just watched? Do you have any questions about what you saw?
2. What do we know about the kind of person Daniel was?
   He was a faithful follower of God. He was brave and did what was right. He prayed to God often.
3. How did the other officials feel about Daniel?
   They were jealous and they wanted to get Daniel in trouble, but they couldn’t find anything wrong with him.
4. What was the new law the king passed? What did Daniel do?
   The law said that King Darius was the only one the people could pray to. Daniel continued to bow down and pray to God, so he was thrown in the lions’ den.
5. How did God show Daniel he was real?
   He sent an angel to shut the lions’ mouths. God kept Daniel safe!
6. Spend a few minutes talking with your child about the memorial that the Israelites built with the stones from the riverbed. Help them choose a small item (stone, cross, etc.) that they can keep with them as a reminder of God’s faithfulness to them as an encouragement to follow God.

Daniel 2, Daniel 6

Daniel and the Lion’s Den
Daniel was a very good, faithful man, who always obeyed God. He would pray to God consistently, three times a day. Daniel had a very close relationship to God due to how often he would talk to God through prayer and because of his unshakable faith. God also gave Daniel an incredible gift—Daniel was able to interpret dreams. This gift led Daniel to successfully interpreted King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. The king then gave Daniel a high up position in the kingdom and gave him many gifts. Because Daniel was so smart, other wise men in the kingdom were very jealous. Their jealousy led them to convince King Darius to make a new law—that the people were only allowed to pray to the king. If people chose not to obey this law, they would be thrown in the lion’s den. These jealous men knew that Daniel would never obey this law since he would pray to God several times a day.

Daniel continued to pray in his room, even when he had heard about this new law. After the jealous men saw him do this, they told King Darius. This made King very upset because he cared for Daniel and tried to get him out of trouble, but knew there was no way around it. Before throwing him in the den, King Darius told Daniel “Your God, to whom you are so loyal, is going to get you out of this.” The next morning, King Darius went to check on Daniel and heard Daniel say “My God sent his angel to shut the lion’s mouths so that they would not hurt me, for I have been found innocent in his sight. And I have wronged you, Your majesty.” Daniel had not been harmed! They both knew that Daniel was protected because he had completely trusted God and had faith in Him. Daniel had a great amount of love for the Lord. Daniel also had a deep and personal connection to God because he would intentionally talk to God all the time through prayer. Regardless of the situation he was facing, he would make time to pray. Sometimes, we can get so caught up in our daily routine, that we neglect to prioritize our quiet time with God. But the truth is, God wants to hear from us—He wants us to talk to Him because of His love for each and every one of us.

I can talk to God.

 
Questions to think about:

1. Why did Daniel continue to pray, even when he knew his life would be threatened?
2. Why did Daniel have such a close relationship with God?
3. How can I remember to talk to God on a daily basis?

Another great bonus song from Saddleback Kids Worship. 
Lyrics:
No I won't be afraid.
You are with me. 
You are right beside me 
Every day. 
Even when it feels like 
Everything is going wrong.
I can look up to you, God
And find my strength. 

Your love has lifted me 
Above the raging sea 
and I just gotta say...

Your love makes me brave 
And I won't be afraid. 

Your love makes me brave 
I can face anything. 

Your love makes me brave.

I was lost and afraid 
till you Found me. 
You lifted me up 
And gave me strength 
Anywhere that I go, 
You go with me 
Lord, you give me the courage 
To live each day.

Your love has lifted me 
Above the raging sea 
and I just gotta say...

Your love makes me brave 
And I won't be afraid. 

Your love makes me brave 
I can face anything. 

Your love makes me brave.

Your love makes me brave 
And I won't be afraid. 

Your love makes me brave 
I can face anything. 

Your love makes me brave.

Your Word will light my way
Your Word will help me stand.

I know I'm safe with you 
I know I'm held in your hand.

Your Word will light my way
Your Word will help me stand.

I know I'm safe with you 
I know I'm held in your hand.

Your love makes me brave 
And I won't be afraid. 

Your love makes me brave 
I can face anything. 

Your love makes me brave.

Your love makes me brave 
And I won't be afraid. 

Your love makes me brave 
I can face anything. 

Your love makes me brave.
