Truth Seekers: Bible Stories for Kids

#208: Jesus Teaches Nicodemus (For God so Loved the World)

John 3. One of the most powerful conversations in the New Testament is when Jesus told Nicodemus he must be "born again" to enter the kingdom of God. What does it mean to be born again? Jesus explained that those who are born again are born of the Spirit. When we put our faith in Jesus, we receive new life, eternal life. This life in the Spirit gives us authority as children of God to live for Him and glorify His name until He returns! Truth Seekers is a part of the Christian Parenting Podc...

#207: John the Baptist: Living Boldy for Jesus

Matthew 14:1-12. John the Baptist was not afraid to call out sin and speak the truth, even when it meant being thrown in prison. He lived his life faithfully as a servant of the Lord, even to the very end. Life may not look how we plan or think it should, but as we put our faith and hope in Jesus, He is working all things for good. We cannot see it with our physical eyes, but the kingdom of God is for all who believe in Jesus, and the kingdom of God is one of righteousness, peace and joy. It...

#206: The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard (The Kingdom of God is Full of Grace)

Matthew 20:1-16. Jesus gave many parables that teach us what the kingdom of God is like. In this parable, we see how God is so gracious to extend His invitation of eternal life to those who put their faith in Jesus even up until the last hour of their life. God gives generously to all who would accept His Son as their Lord and Savior. Receive His invitation while it's still called Today. Even when we think we've messed up, or it's too late for us, God is extending His invitation to receive H...

Holy Week Series: The Lord's Supper

The Lord's Supper is the last Passover meal that Jesus had with His disciples before He died on the cross. Jesus did something different at this Passover meal that had never been done. He asked the disciples to eat from the bread and drink from the cup as an act of remembering what He was about to do. When we take communion, we are remembering, just as His disciples did, the work of the cross and the power of what it means for us that Jesus gave His life. Truth Seekers is a part of the Chr...

Holy Week Series: Palm Sunday

#204: The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant: Forgiving Others

Matthew 18:21-35. Jesus told a parable that illustrates what it means to forgive. We sometimes think that we have a right to hold onto unforgiveness when we are wronged, but when we become Christians, we become a part of the Kingdom of God, and forgiveness is the currency of the Kingdom of God. God commands that we forgive others because we have been so graciously forgiven. Who are we to make others repay for their sins against us when we have been released of the debt that we could never r...

#203: The Rich Young Ruler (Letting go of the worries of this life to follow Jesus)

Mark 10:13-31. Jesus calls us to surrender our whole lives to follow Him. Are there things you might be putting your faith in other than Jesus? Are there people you are placing as more important than Jesus? If Jesus asked you to choose Him first, would you be able to? The rich young man in the story was not able to give away all he had to follow Jesus. He loved his money too much. Anything that becomes more important than Jesus is an idol, a false god. God commands that we worship Him and Hi...

#202: Praying the Bible (John 15:1-11: I Am the Vine)

Vineyards were grown everywhere in Israel during the time of Jesus. When He said, "I am the vine," His followers would have understand what a vine is and does. As the vine, Jesus gives us life. He produces the fruits of His Holy Spirit living in us. Without Him, we cannot bear fruit. He produces the fruits of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control. As we remain in Him as the vine, He causes us to grow and look more like Him. Truth Seekers...

#201: The Good Samaritan

Luke 10: 25-37. To follow Jesus is to follow Him in faith and action. We reflect Jesus to a hurting and broken world by what we say and do.

#200: Who is the Greatest?

Mark 9:14-35. The disciples were arguing among themselves concerning who was the greatest. They were concerned about who had the most influence. Doesn't that sound like the world we live in today?

Jesus began to speak to the disciples about His upcoming death and resurrection. When Peter stated that Jesus was the Messiah, He could not fully understand what that meant.
