Let's Talk Bible: For Kids (and Parents)

Jesus received an invitation to dine with an important Pharisee. While there, a woman came in and began to cry over his feat, kissing them and anointing them with oil. We take a closer look at this strange scene and the Pharisee's response to it. We also learn an important Greek and Hebrew word, the word for peace. 

In today's episode, we get another chance to talk about John the Baptist. In prison, John began to wonder if Jesus really was the Messiah. We talk about expectations and what it means to be offended by Jesus. We also learn a new Greek word. 

In this week's conversation, we look at two of Jesus' miracles and talk about the important topics of humility and faith. We look at a character that Jesus said had greater faith than anyone in Israel. We also learn an important Greek word. 

In today's episode, we wrap up Jesus' sermon on the plain. We take a look at two everyday images that Jesus uses to teach us about obedience: fruit trees and foundations. We also learned a new Greek word that you can literally use around the house.

As we continue to look at Jesus' sermon on the plain, we discuss some of Jesus' most famous words. But what does it actually mean to love our enemies, and why does Jesus want us to think about how we judge others? We also learn an important greek word that every disciple should know. 

We've seen how the crowds were constantly rushing to hear Jesus, but in our discussion this week, we look at Jesus' calling of 12 disciples and how he began his important sermon on the mound. We also learn some helpful Greek words that you can use around the house with your parents. 

In today's episode, the Pharisees confronted Jesus about how his disciples acted on the Sabbath, but Jesus used it as a chance to talk about why God has given us rules and laws and why he is the one we should trust to explain them. We also learn a new Greek word that will help us build a whole phrase in Greek.

The Pharisees objected to Jesus eating with tax collectors, and they didn't think Jesus understood repentance, but Jesus saw something they were missing. He was the groom who came to rescue his bride. That was a reason to celebrate. We talk about ancient weddings, parables, and wine skins.

We have previously talked about Jesus calling Peter to be his disciple; in today's conversation, we discuss Jesus calling Levi. We learn about tax-collectors, what it means to become a follower of Jesus, and what it means to recline at the table. We also learn an important new Greek word. 

This week, we take a closer look at two stories and see how Jesus focuses the conversation on the forgiveness of sin, even though some don't want to talk about it. We'll learn more about the scribes and Pharisees and we'll learn some new Greek and Hebrew words.
