Lamentations 3:22-23 & Matthew 5:16

Welcome back to Kids Bible Stories! In today's special episode, we pause our regular schedule to continue our musical journey through the hymns of faith. We explore the timeless hymn "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" and dive into the inspiring story of its writer, Thomas O. Chisholm.

Travel back in time with us to Kentucky, where young Thomas was born and began his journey of faith. Despite the challenges he faced, including serious health issues, Thomas found comfort and inspiration in God's Word, leading him to write the beloved hymn that has encouraged millions over the past century.

This episode teaches kids to see and realize God's faithfulness even during difficult times, just as Thomas did, and encourages them to let their light shine before others.

Genesis 11:1-8

At a time when the whole world spoke one language, the people decided to build a towering city to reach the heavens. But their pride and desire to be like God led them astray. God intervened by confusing their language, causing them to scatter across the earth. Through this story, we learn about the dangers of pride and the importance of relying on God.

**We hear from kids all over the world, sharing the languages they speak, showing how the Bible is alive and active for people everywhere!

Thank you to all who participated! It was a joy to hear from you.

• John 12:1-16
• Zechariah 9:9

In this final episode of the Lazarus series, we reflect on the events leading up to Jesus’ resurrection. As Passover approaches, Jesus visits Bethany, where He is honored at a dinner hosted by Lazarus and his sisters. Mary anoints Jesus’ feet with expensive perfume, demonstrating her deep reverence, while Judas objects, revealing his ulterior motives.

The episode highlights the growing crowds drawn to see Jesus and Lazarus, prompting the chief priests to plot against them. We then hear Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem, where He is celebrated with palm branches as the crowd shouts "Hosanna!"—a moment that fulfills the prophecy in Zechariah 9:9.

We explore the significance of these events, especially their connection to Palm Sunday, and how they were all part of God’s divine plan. The episode concludes with a reflection on the resurrection of Jesus, emphasizing His promise of eternal life to all who believe in Him.
