Moments With Jesus: Immersive Bible Stories for Kids

Encounter Jesus at his arrest and trial.

from Matthew 26:36-27:31, Mark 14:32-15:20, Luke 22:39-23:25, John 18:1-19:17

Imagine the greatest feeling of fear you could ever feel. Your stomach starts to twist; your throat feels like it wants to choke you; your skin is suddenly cool and crawling like a spider is walking it. Your heart has dropped all the way down to your feet. You have never been scared in your life like you're scared right now…

Encounter Jesus as He washes your feet.

from John 13:1-17

Imagine walking up a flight of narrow stairs, lit by candlelight, at the top of which is a door that leads to a warm, comfortable room. You know that in that room are all your friends – and a meal – and Jesus: you walk up the stairs with excitement to see everyone inside. The gentle light of the candle glimmers and dances along the staircase. You are almost there… Last couple steps…

Encounter Jesus at the Triumphal Entry

from Matthew 21:1-11, Mark 11:1-11, Luke 19:28-40, John 12:12-19

Imagine the sort of day when you think you already know everything that's bound to happen: all the people you'll see, the things you'll do, the way it'll end. You roll out of bed and think you already understand everything there is to know; that nothing can surprise you in the way this day might go. So, on that sort of day, you've been doing the things you planned to do all morning; then, in the early afternoon, you're on the way to do some other things. Nothing in this day is too exciting, too boring, too attention-grabbing: it is a very normal sort of day for you. Until… …suddenly… it's not.

In this week's discussion, Eugene and Christian talk about the account of Lazarus' resurrection found in John 11:1-44, and the context surrounding this incredible passage.

They cover the implications that Jesus' power over death has for each of us. They discuss what it means to live in the reality of the fact that Jesus HIMSELF is life, and that His Spirit lives within us!

Encounter Jesus as He Raises Lazarus from the dead!

John 11:1-44

Imagine that you are crying. Really crying. Your shoulders shake as you sob uncontrollably. You have been crying most of the day, already, and there's nothing anyone can do to stop you crying for the rest of it. You can feel how sadness wells up from your belly into your heart and mind, like a wave building and cresting and crashing…

This week, Eugene and Christian cover the strange and beautiful account of the Transfiguration. In this amazing story, we see Jesus' true divinity that is always on the other side of his humanity. The overwhelming power revealed in this moment, when set in contrast to Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, shows all that Jesus laid down to fulfill the mission of redemption.

They also discuss the disciples reaction, the significance of Moses and Elijah's appearance, and how we can participate in that same glory!

Matthew 17:1-9, Mark 9:2-8, Luke 9:28-36, 2 Peter 1:16-18, 2 Corinthians 3:18

Encounter Jesus at His Transfiguration!

from Matthew 17:1-9, Mark 9:2-8, Luke 9:28-36, 2 Peter 1:16-18

Imagine you're taking a hike, high above the waters of the Galilee, following a narrow trail through bends and turns and twists and rises. You are climbing amidst the tall rugged rocks upon a mountainside, following after Jesus as He climbs higher and higher. He had turned to you and two of the others earlier today and invited you "up" with Him – "up" to where you didn't get the chance to ask. And, ever since, you have been silently following after Him: struggling and straining as He climbs higher and higher up this narrow trail. Where in the world are we going? you wonder to yourself. The late-day sun feels hot upon your face. You occasionally turn around and look back down the trail toward the Sea of Galilee, wishing you were swimming in its blue waters…

This week, Eugene and Christian talk about the familiar passage where Jesus walks on water (Matthew 14:22-33, Mark 6:45-52, John 6:16-21). Eugene makes the powerful assertion that, within this account, we see a striking microcosm of the Incarnation.

They discuss why Peter stakes it all on Jesus' call to walk on the water, unearth the nature of faith itself, and conclude with a call to join Him on the waves!

Eugene and Christian reveal some very exciting news for the Moments with Jesus Project!

Encounter Jesus as He walks on water!

from Matthew 14:22-33, Mark 6:45-52, John 6:16-21

Imagine you're sitting in a boat with all your best friends around you. You're in the middle of an enormous lake, surrounded by rolling hills. It is nighttime. The red-and-golden sunset faded away from the western sky an hour or two ago. All evening, the wind has been blowing gently from the northwest; your boat's sail has been full and puffing-out nicely. You and your friends have been talking, telling stories, laughing at a joke from the day before; but now you're all tired, getting quieter and quieter…
