tells us wonderful stories when she is awake that is
h and we love to sing
you three again will you ever let me sleep in peace
oh holy please don't sleep we really want to share a story from the Bible
again this story is about the fall of Adam and Eve and you must listen
carefully as I will ask you a question at the end
of the story all the animals God made he made the
snake the most cunning one day the snake asked Eve Dear eve is it true that he
cannot eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge Eve replied yes we can eat the
fruit of any other tree but this one if we do God says we will die the snake
said absolutely God has tricked you if you eat the food
you will gain knowledge but why would he lie to us
because he doesn't want you to be wise like him eat it is what I would say Eve
took some fruit from the tree and ate it she took some for Adam too
as soon as they ate it they realized they were not wearing any clothes so
they took some leaves and covered themselves when God came Adam and Eve
behind some trees because they were ashamed of what they had done what did
you do I told you not to eat the fruit of that tree it's not my fault eve gave it
to me it is not my fault either the snake tricked me God was angry that
they disobeyed him so he sent them away from the garden from that day onwards
Adam would have to hunt for food and things would not be easy anymore and now
the question for all of you of all the animals which was the most cunning I
know this snake the most cunning of all well done that is right ok children it's
time for my nap again bye-bye
then why don't we start with that
once again it's story time
once there was an old man who had very long beard his name was Noah Noah worshiped
and obeyed God all the time he was the only good man in the whole neighbourhood
so one day god spoke to him
Noah you are a good man and I would like you to go away from all the selfish and
mean people who are now around you I will need you to build an ark right away
and after you're done building it I will make it rain for 40 days and 40 nights
there will be a huge flood but your family your animals and you will be safe
in the Ark. What is an ark holy
an ark is a big boat which is very wide very long and very very tall and it is
made at a very special wood OOh
hearing this from God Noah went looking for his wife and said we quickly need to
gather food blankets and hay for the animals as soon as we can God said
there's going to be a great flood with lots and lots of rain and that do very
long time. What?
how are we going to live through a great flood do not worry about that I'm going
to build a huge Ark and our family and animals are going to be absolutely safe
in it we should hurry and get started with the preparations So noah started building the ark
The ark was very big it was
tall long and very wide it had a window and a big huge door his neighbors
thought Noah had gone crazy for building such a huge boat why is Noah building
this enormous boat there's no sign of water anywhere no rivers no oceans
nothing the moment Noah finished building the ark clouds started covering
the sky Noah heard God's voice again noah it's time to go gather all your
animals your family and get inside the ark so Noah followed God's orders he
gathered two of every animal in sight and went inside the ark with his family
God shut the door of the ark Noah and his family could see from the ark how
the sky outside was getting darker and darker everything outside was becoming
quiet and scary suddenly Noah heard a drop of rain then
came down the second from the third one then another and another soon
the trucks became bigger and louder and it came down faster and faster and the
rain turned into a huge storm after two days of heavy rainfall the ark starting
to float and soon it was in the middle of a large ocean rained and rained
for 40 days and 40 nights just like God said then after 40 days and 40 nights
the rain finally stopped Sun began to shine again so Noah sent out a dove but
the Dove came back to the ark not being able to find any dry land after a few
days he sent out the Dove once again this time it came back with a leaf for
the third time he released the Dove went by but the Dove never came back
Noah was very happy he cried finally the storm is over I think it is safe to come
out now it's opened the door and get out noah and his family marched out from the
ark onto the dry land and there was nothing and no one else around
Noah realized that this was the new neighborhood that God was talking to him
about we have a lot of work to do in this new
neighborhood we better get started yes but we first need to give God and
offering to show how thankful we are for saving us from the great flood so Noah
gave God an offering and God was very very pleased with him
Oh how I love this story yeah
me too I am glad you kids enjoyed the story
okay holy bye
we will be back soon for another new story sure I'll be waiting
bye kids
today I will tell you the story of Abraham his son Isaac and how God tested
his love at the end of it I will ask a question so listen very carefully a long
time ago there was a man named Abraham who loved God very much God had blessed
Abraham and promised to make him great the land of Canaan was promised to him
and his children a few years had passed and God wanted to see if Abraham still
loved him so he came before Abraham and said Abram I want you to give me your
son as offering on Mount Moriah Abraham was scared because he loved Isaac very
much but he obeyed since he still loved and believed in God so he took a donkey
and two servants along with some chopped wood and his son Isaac up to the
mountain or it took them three days to reach the mountain after reaching the
mountain he told his servants to go and build an altar where you would offer his
son to the Lord Isaac who had been watching all of this
asked his father very innocently father I can see that you're about to make an
offering to the Lord but where is the lamb Abraham replied don't worry son
we'll give us lamb he then tied up Isaac and put him on top of the chopped wood
as he raised the knife to kill his son an angel appeared the angel said really
Abraham do not hurt the child the Lord just wanted to see if you still love him but
now he knows that you would kill your only beloved son for him
Abraham was grateful that the Lord had spared his son when he looked up to
thank the Lord he saw a lamb Abraham placed the lamp in the place of his son
as an offering to God together he and his son went back home happy ok children
now for the question what did God asked Abraham to do for him let me answer this
one God asked Abraham to offer his son Isaac to him
very good gumbo that is right
you are back again hi holy we really want to hear a story from you please
tell us one. All right I will tell you a story from the Bible but you have to
listen carefully since this is an important story and as always at the end
of the story I will ask a question we promise to listen carefully all right a
long time ago the king of Egypt had told Moses to take all the Israelites and
leave Egypt the people followed Moses out of Egypt
however the kings soldiers followed them as they were
leaving and tried to kill them but Moses save them and instead all the Egyptian
soldiers died this story is about Moses the lawgiver Moses led the Israelites
all the Hebrews God's chosen people to the mountain of Sinai where the Lord had
first spoken to him it took them three months to reach Mount Sinai their God
gave him two tablets with laws also known as Commandments written on them to
him the first tablet was about the duties of the people towards God it said
that they must not worship other gods they must be respectful towards their
parents they must keep the gods name holy they must also keep God's day the
Sabbath holy the second tablet had duties of the
people towards each other it said that they must not kill they must not be
unfaithful with each other they must not steal they must not tell lies they must
not be jealous of other people that day God made an arrangement with his people
that till the time they all faithfully followed these laws the Ten Commandments
as he called it he too would be there for them protecting them from all harm I
hope you were listening carefully this is my question
how many tablet did God give Moses on the mountain of
Sinai I know the answer to this one God gave Moses two tablets on the mountain
of Sinai white tablets do they have books or paper that is absolutely right
tubby and no they didn't have books in those days now I will go back to sleep
see you later children bye-bye

story carefully and answer my question at the end yes yes we will what about you

people of Jerusalem heard that Jesus was in town they went looking for him they
brought that children with them because they really wanted Jesus to bless them
the people found Jesus sitting under a tree with his disciples everyone with
babies and little children tried very hard to get close to Jesus to seek His
blessings Jesus's disciples realized what was
happening the disciples who did not want Jesus to be disturbed by the children
shooed these people and the children away they
stopped the children from touching Jesus soon Jesus realized what was happening
around him and was not happy at all with his disciples he called all of his
disciples and said let the children come to all his disciples that they should
not stop these children from coming to him because he said the kingdom of God
belongs to the children the disciples realized what they had
done they allowed the children to come to Jesus Jesus then held the little
babies in his arms and the other children touch him and he blessed all of
