Kids Bible Stories Jessica White

 1 Kings11:1-6, 9-13, 26-43, & Luke 1:31-33  

In order to respect each families ages and stages of life I have adapted some of this. Please go back and read the scriptures listed so you can include what’s appropriate for your family. 

Today we hear what happens at the end of Solomon's reign. Though Solomon sinned, making us wonder how the promise could ever be kept, the kids will see the Gospel woven throughout the Bible as they hear again the promise is fulfilled in the one who was born that Christmas day....Jesus. Jesus Christ will sit on the throne and His kingdom will have no end. What wonderful news! 



Thanks for listening and sharing the Bible with your children!

1 Kings 10:1-14, 22-24,  & Ecclesiastes 2:1-11

 Today we begin to comprehend just how wealthy Solomon was. With his wealth and his wisdom, Solomon tells us anything he saw and wanted, he got. This might sound incredible but Solomon learned a very valuable lesson that everything is meaningless without God. Things or fame, none of that will satisfy us fully because what we are really searching for is God. The Creator of our souls is the one who satisfies us. The kids will hear examples of this so they can begin to understand how this applies to their own lives.

1 Kings 8:1-24, 54-56, & 1 Kings 9: 1-9



We are continuing our Solomon series. If you’ve missed a few, I'd highly recommend you go back and listen as they build upon themselves.Today's episode picks up after Solomon completed the temple (episode # 280). We listen in as Solomon prays to the Lord and hear what the Lord says to Solomon in return. The Lord warns him and his descendants not to turn away from Him, not to wander and serve other gods. The kids will begin to understand that out of His love, God gives us rules and consequences. When he tells us to do something it's because it's for our own good! He wants to protect us and He offers us things that are real, lasting, and loving versus other things that have fake promises. I try to help the children connect these dots with real life examples they can understand.

Thanks for tuning in & helping teach the Bible to your children.

Matthew 27:50-56,  2 Chronicles 3:8-14 & Hebrews 4:14, 16 

In our last episode, we heard Solomon built the temple. Today, we are going to hear something really important that happened at the temple on the day Jesus was crucified. We just celebrated Easter so I think this is a perfect time to discuss the significance of the veil being torn. I hope your kids enjoy it!

1 Kings 5:1-10, 6:1-20,29-38, 1 Samuel 16:7, & 1 John 4:19 Today we hear Solomon build a magnificent temple for the Lord. Below, there are links you can visit to see a video of what Solomon's temple looked like.  We hear how  marvelous Solomon's temple was but the kids are reminded that Solomon didn't need to earn God's love and neither do we. 1 John 4:19 "We love because He first loved us."  God chose to love us first, we didn’t have to earn it by becoming rich and famous or building the most impressive building.  Sometimes people will only be kind or loving if they are first shown that. For example, you will only share your bike if they first share their rollerblades. That's not how God works. He shares His love with us first!   I hope you enjoy today's continuation of our Solomon series.To see a video of Solomon's temple go here : https://youtu.be/y2tha7ogpecTo see more about the significance of the rooms, carvings, location, and all of the meanings, search "Solomon's Temple Explained" on YouTube.To connect with me, go to https://www.kbspodcast.com/

1Kings 3:1-15, 1Kings 4:20-34 , & Proverbs 3:14-15
 If you missed last weeks episode, make sure to go back and listen so you understand how we got to where we are. Today we hear Solomon ask God for wisdom. This pleases God and God not only gives him wisdom but riches. We will learn that Solomon wrote some of this wisdom down in the book of Proverbs and read a verse showing the value of wisdom. In this world you may hear people call something wise when actually it’s the opposite, it's foolish. This is why It's important we always go back to our Bibles to see what it says about Godly wisdom.
 I hope your family enjoys this episode in our Solomon series.
