  • Kids Korner: Prayer (July 27th)

    Read Luke 11:1-13 with your family. Prayer is something that is supposed to be a regular part of our faith life, but it scares a lot of people. How do I do it? Does it matter? What if I ask for the wrong thing? What if I make God angry? I can promise you the…

    Read Luke 10:38-42 with your family. When Jesus asked his believers to follow him and go out into the world to make believers of others, he was not talking only to men or only to the named twelve apostles. Jesus asked women to spread his message as well. Two of those women were Martha and…

  • Kids Korner: Stoping to help (July 13th)

    Read Luke 10:25-37 with your family. This is a story about helping those who are different from you, and accepting help from people who are different than you.

  • Kids Korner: Jesus sends his first messengers (July 6th)

    Read Luke 10:1-11, 16-20 with your family. How do we share the good news about Jesus? This is a question that people have been asking ever since Jesus told us to go into the world and make disciples of other people. Some decided to force people. This was mean and never worked anyway. What did…

    Asking for help Luke 8 26 Jesus and his disciples sailed across Lake Galilee and came to shore near the town of Gerasa. 27 As Jesus was getting out of the boat, he was met by a man from this town. The man had demons in him. He had gone naked for a long time and no longer…

  • Kids Korner: Jesus helps the bad things leave (June 22nd)

    Read Luke 8:26-39 with your family. Sometimes the Bible tells us a story and it is simple. We understand all the parts and can hear what God is trying to tell us through the story. But sometimes, like this story, it is very confusing. This story is not about Jesus fixing everything. This story is…
