1 Kings 15:25-34 & 1 Kings 16  am so proud of you for going all the way through!

1 Kings 14:20-31, 1 Kings 15: 1-15, &  Psalm 136: 1-4 Out of respect for each families ages and stages of life, I have adapted some of this. Please go back and read the scriptures yourself to see what’s appropriate for your family.  The Solomon episodes also build upon themselves so please go back and listen to ones you may have missed. Today we went through a little bit of a family tree as we fol...

1 Kings 13:1-10, 33-34 & Numbers 8:16-19 Today we hear King Jeroboam's hand suddenly become paralyzed but then miraculously healed when the man of God prays for it. This still does not change Jeroboam's heart and he continues to do evil. We take note that even though Jeroboam still seems like the bad guy, the man of God prayed for him. The kids are reminded to think about someone they know who is...

1 Kings 12: 25-32 & Exodus 32:1-4 If you’ve missed the previous Solomon episodes, please go back and listen or you may be confused as to how we got where we are in today’s story. It is listed as Solomon part I. Today, we hear King Jeroboam set up 2 golden calves as idols for the people in his kingdom. We define what idols are and also prompt the kids to talk with their families about: 1. Ways to g...

1 Kings 12:20-24 & Romans 14:11The kingdom is divided: Solomon’s son Rehoboam is king over the southern kingdom, Judah while Jeroboam is king over northern kingdom, Israel. King Rehoboam is not happy about this and assembles an army to win back his kingdom. Will they battle OR does God have a different plan for their lives? We discuss the fact that God says "This is my doing." We are reminded God...

1 Kings 12:1- 17  Today we hear how the kingdom becomes divided and review the sections each king rules, it's name, and the tribes of each. We also point out that the Bible says these events are brought about by the Lord, that He might fulfill his word, which the Lord spoke by Ahijah to Jeroboam. It reminds me there will be times in life where it's not always as it seems. I imagine some in the kin...

 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 wo...

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 i...

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 awa...

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! To connect with me, go to https...

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...

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...

1Kings1:28-53, 1 Kings2:1-4,10-12,&  Chronicles 22:7-10  If you missed last week, we began the Solomon series. I highly recommend you go back and listen as the episodes build upon themselves. Today, we hear King David give important instructions to Solomon before he passes.  Adonijah's status of king is short lived when Solomon is crowned king. We remember that long ago, God said all of this would...

1 Samuel 16:6-12, 1 Kings 1:1-25,  Chronicles 22:7-10 Today we kick off our series on Solomon. We begin with a quick refresher on David since that is Solomon's father. As David aged, his reign as king was coming to an end. It was time for him to announce who would rule after him but before David even chose, one of his other sons, Adonijah, decided he would be king next, not Solomon. How will David...

For the month of March, we are beginning a brand new series on Solomon!   Each episode will also build upon itself so if you miss one, just go back and listen.

Parents I have adapted some of these episodes out of respect for each family's ages and stages of  life. I always include t...

Psalm 119: 35-37 & 1 John 5:3-5 We continue our short love series. Today's episode will define what a command is and understand that God's commands are made out of his love for us. We will hear what the Bible says about this and move to an example so the kids can understand it. They will learn that rules are actually loving; a way to protect us and bring us delight.  Please help us reach our goal...

  1 Corinthians 13:1-13 & 1 John 4:7, 9-10 This begins a short series on love. To celebrate Valentine's Day this month, I decided it would be good to see what the Bible has to say about love. Where does love come from? Who created it? What does it look like? Tune in to hear what the Bible has to say about these questions. 1 John 4:9-10: " This is how God showed his love to us: He sent his only Son...

 Matthew 28 :1-10, 16-20 & Isaiah 40:8  Today, we hear Jesus promise to be with us ALWAYS! Not only on good days or when we are awake, but always!!! We hear Him say to go out and make disciples. The kids will learn what disciple means. We will also  take a minute to marvel at just how far the Gospel has spread. We remember how far away most of us are from where the Gospel began and give  thanks fo...

 Ephesians 1:13  & Daniel 6:16- 17  Today we continue our short series about the Holy Spirit. We hear the word seal or sealed  in the two Bible readings on this episode. But what does that mean? Paul said "And in Christ, God put his special mark on you, a seal,  by giving you the Holy Spirit that He had promised."  We discuss what the signet ring was used for historically and its significance. Whe...

 Acts 1:12-14, 2:1-19, 32-33, 38-39, & John 14: 25 We start our episode hearing Jesus tell his disciples that the Father will send them the Helper, the Holy Spirit. But when will He send Him? Today's episode addresses this.  We fast forward to after Jesus has risen and returned to heaven. The kids will get a brief order of events to help them understand when the episode takes place. We hear the Ho...

Acts 1:1-11 & Luke 24: 36-43 We just celebrated Christmas, which reminds us of Jesus' 1st coming. Today, we will hear the Bible teach about His second coming as we hear what the disciples experienced.   Jesus gave us  instructions on how we should live while we wait for him to return and guess what… He left us w/ some incredible promises as we wait too. We will talk about those more in the next ep...

Micah 5:2, John 3:16-18, & Luke 2:1-7 Today we learn what a prophet is when we introduce Micah. We discuss how Micah specifically told where Jesus would be born and we follow the journey God put Mary and Joseph on to get them from Nazareth to Bethlehem. God used different people, events, etc but it allllllll happened just as He said it would. This story also drives home John 3:16-18; that God sent...
