  • Kids Korner: Jesus leaves (June 1st)

    Read Luke 24:44-53 with your family. Remember back to Good Friday, how sad everyone was that Jesus had died? Jesus came back Easter morning and everyone was shocked. Then they started getting used to Jesus’s visits. He only visited his closest friends, however, Jesus didn’t teach anything to new followers after Easter morning. This week…

    Do you want to be healed? John 5 Later, Jesus went to Jerusalem for another Jewish festival. 2 In the city near the sheep gate was a pool with five porches, and its name in Hebrew was Bethzatha. 3-4 Many sick, blind, lame, and paralyzed people were lying close to the pool. 5 Beside the pool was a man who…

  • Kids Korner: Do you want to be healed? (May 25th)

    Read John 5:1-9 with your family. Everyone wants to be healed, right? Everyone wants to be made better and to not be sick or not have body parts that do not work like everyone else, right? It seems a strange question. Of course everyone wants a strong, healthy body. That is what we all think.…

    Love is love is love John 13 31 After Judas had gone, Jesus said: Now the Son of Man will be given glory, and he will bring glory to God. 32 Then, after God is given glory because of him, God will bring glory to him, and God will do it very soon. 33  My children, I will be…

  • Kids Korner: Love… that’s all (May 18th)

    Read John 13:31-35 with your family. Jesus talked a lot about love. When we think about love it is usually love for our family and romantic love, but in Jesus’ world, there were a lot of different words for love. In Greek, the language of the Christian Scriptures, there were seven different words for love.…

    Feed my sheep John 10 22  That winter, Jesus was in Jerusalem for the Temple Festival. 23 One day he was walking in the part of the temple known as Solomon’s Porch 24 and the people gathered all around him. They said, “How long are you going to keep us guessing? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly!” 25 Jesus…

  • Kids Korner: You know me (May 11th)

    Read John 10:22-30 with your family. Jesus never asked us to be part of the religion of Christianity, and some people who attend church get really confused by that. When Jesus was alive, there was no such thing as “Christian” or “Jewish”, they were all Hebrews and believed in God loving them unconditionally. They knew…

    Feed my sheep John 21 Jesus later appeared to his disciples along the shore of Lake Tiberias. 2 Simon Peter, Thomas the Twin, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, and the brothers James and John,[a] were there, together with two other disciples. 3  Simon Peter said, “I’m going fishing!” The others said, “We will go with you.” They went out in…

  • Kids Korner: Feed my sheep (May 4th)

    Read John 21:1-19 with your family. This is an add-on chapter that was not part of the original Gospel of John. We do not know when it was added, but it is important because it asks questions of Peter and the closest followers of Jesus: If you love Jesus, take care of the people Jesus…

    Faith and Doubts John 20 19 The disciples were afraid of the Jewish leaders, and on the evening of that same Sunday they locked themselves in a room. Suddenly, Jesus appeared in the middle of the group. He greeted them 20 and showed them his hands and his side. When the disciples saw the Lord, they became very…
