  8. 1 Samuel 16:4-13 RERC 0- 02a In the Image of God The Call of David 4Samuel did what the LORD told him and went to Bethlehem. The town leaders went to meet him, but they were terribly afraid and asked, "Is this a friendly visit?" 5"Yes, it is!" Samuel answered. "I've come to offer a sacrifice to the LORD. Get yourselves ready to take part in the sacrifice and come with me." Samuel also invited Jesse and his sons to come to the sacrifice, and he got them ready to take part. P1 1of4

  9. 1 Samuel 16:4-13 (cont’d) RERC 0- 02a In the Image of God The Call of David 6When Jesse and his sons arrived, Samuel noticed Jesse's oldest son, Eliab. "He has to be the one the LORD has chosen," Samuel said to himself. 7But the LORD told him, "Samuel, don't think Eliab is the one just because he's tall and handsome. He isn't the one I've chosen. People judge others by what they look like, but I judge people by what is in their hearts." 8Jesse told his son Abinadab to go over to Samuel, but Samuel said, "No, the LORD hasn't chosen him." P1 2of4

  10. 1 Samuel 16:4-13 (cont’d) RERC 0- 02a In the Image of God The Call of David 9Next, Jesse sent his son Shammah to him, and Samuel said, "The LORD hasn't chosen him either." 10Jesse had all seven of his sons go over to Samuel. Finally, Samuel said, "Jesse, the LORD hasn't chosen any of these young men. 11Do you have any more sons?"    "Yes," Jesse answered. "My youngest son David is out taking care of the sheep."    "Send for him!" Samuel said. "We won't start the ceremony until he gets here." 3of4 P1

  11. 1 Samuel 16:4-13 (cont’d) RERC 0- 02a In the Image of God The Call of David 12Jesse sent for David. He was a healthy, good-looking boy with a sparkle in his eyes. As soon as David came, the LORD told Samuel, "He's the one! Get up and pour the olive oil on his head.“ 13Samuel poured the oil on David's head while his brothers watched. At that moment, the Spirit of the LORD took control of David and stayed with him from then on.    Samuel returned home to Ramah. 4of4 P1

  12. Luke 2:1-20 RERC 0- 04a Revealed Truth of God The Birth of Jesus 1About that time Emperor Augustus gave orders for the names of all the people to be listed in record books. 2These first records were made when Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3Everyone had to go to their own hometown to be listed. 4So Joseph had to leave Nazareth in Galilee and go to Bethlehem in Judea. Long ago Bethlehem had been King David's hometown, and Joseph went there because he was from David's family. 1 of 6 P1

  13. Luke 2:1-20(cont’d) RERC 0- 04a Revealed Truth of God 5Mary was engaged to Joseph and traveled with him to Bethlehem. She was soon going to have a baby, 6and while they were there, 7she gave birth to her first-born son. She dressed him in baby clothes and laid him on a bed of hay, because there was no room for them in the inn. 8 That night in the fields near Bethlehem some shepherds were guarding their sheep. 2 of 6 P1

  14. RERC 0- 04a Revealed Truth of God Luke 2:1-20(cont’d) 9All at once an angel came down to them from the Lord, and the brightness of the Lord's glory flashed around them. The shepherds were frightened. 10But the angel said, "Don't be afraid! I have good news for you, which will make everyone happy. 11This very day in King David's hometown a Savior was born for you. He is Christ the Lord. 3 of 6 P1

  15. RERC 0- 04a Revealed Truth of God Luke 2:1-20 (cont’d) 12You will know who he is, because you will find him dressed in baby clothes and lying on a bed of hay." 13Suddenly many other angels came down from heaven and joined in praising God. They said: 14"Praise God in heaven!    Peace on earth to everyone    who pleases God." P1 4 of 6

  16. Luke 2:1-20(cont’d) RERC 0- 04a Revealed Truth of God 15After the angels had left and gone back to heaven, the shepherds said to each other, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see what the Lord has told us about." 16They hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and they saw the baby lying on a bed of hay. 17When the shepherds saw Jesus, they told his parents what the angel had said about him. 18Everyone listened and was surprised. 5 of 6 P1

  17. RERC 0-04a Revealed Truth of God Luke 2:1-20(cont’d) 19But Mary kept thinking about all this and wondering what it meant. 20As the shepherds returned to their sheep, they were praising God and saying wonderful things about him. Everything they had seen and heard was just as the angel had said. P1 6 of 6

  18. Luke 2:1-20 RERC 0- 04a Revealed Truth of God The Birth of Jesus (alternative) (from Jacqueline Sibley, Bible Stories for Little Children 6) One day a messenger came to the town where Mary and Joseph were living. The messenger had some important news from the king. Everyone listened very carefully. He said, ‘The king wants to count all the people. Everyone must go back to the town where their family used to live. Then you will all be counted.’ Mary and Joseph’s family used to live in Bethlehem. So when they heard the messenger, they knew that they would have to go to Bethlehem. 1 of 7 P1

  19. Luke 2:1-20 RERC 0- 04a Revealed Truth of God The Birth of Jesus (alternative) (from Jacqueline Sibley, Bible Stories for Little Children 6) They couldn’t go in a comfortable bus, or on a fast train, because there weren’t any buses or trains then. The rich people rode on camels or on horses. The poor people rode on donkeys or else they walked. Mary and Joseph were too poor to have a camel or a horse. They had a donkey. It was a long way to Bethlehem. It took Mary and Joseph three days to get there. Each night they stayed at a house. Each day Mary rode on the donkey and Joseph walked beside her. 2 of 7 P1

  20. Luke 2:1-20 RERC 0- 04a Revealed Truth of God The Birth of Jesus (alternative) (from Jacqueline Sibley, Bible Stories for Little Children 6) ‘Clip, clop, clip, clop, clip, clop,’ went the donkeys hooves as they walked along. After three days they came to Bethlehem. Hundreds and hundreds of people were there. Everyone was waiting to be counted. Bethlehem was very crowded indeed. ‘May we stop as soon as we can?’ asked Mary. ‘Certainly we shall,’ said Joseph. Soon they came to a house. Joseph knocked on the door. Knock! Knock! Knock! 3 of 7 P1

  21. Luke 2:1-20 RERC 0- 04a Revealed Truth of God The Birth of Jesus (alternative) (from Jacqueline Sibley, Bible Stories for Little Children 6) The man came out. ‘Have you any room in your house?’ Joseph asked. ‘My wife is very tired. We should like to stay for the night.’ ‘No, I’m sorry, I haven’t any room,’ answered the man. ‘You cannot stay here.’ And he closed the door. ‘Never mind, Mary,’ said Joseph, ‘we’ll ask at another house.’ So they walked further down the road. ‘Clip, clop, clip, clop,’ went the donkey’s hooves as they walked along. 4 of 7 P1

  22. Luke 2:1-20 RERC 0- 04a Revealed Truth of God The Birth of Jesus (alternative) (from Jacqueline Sibley, Bible Stories for Little Children 6) At the next house Joseph knocked on the door. Knock! Knock! Knock! The man came out. ‘Have you any room in your house?’ Joseph asked. ‘My wife is very tired. We should like to stay for the night.’ ‘No, I’m sorry, I haven’t any room,’ answered the man. ‘You cannot stay here.’ And he closed the door. ‘Let’s go a bit further,’ said Joseph. Mary and Joseph were very tired. There were so many people in Bethlehem. But Joseph knew that they must find somewhere to sleep. 5 of 7 P1

  23. Luke 2:1-20 RERC 0- 04a Revealed Truth of God The Birth of Jesus (alternative) (from Jacqueline Sibley, Bible Stories for Little Children 6) ‘I’m sure that God will help us to find somewhere,’ said Mary. Then they came to a house where lots of people could stay. Joseph knocked on the door. Knock! Knock! Knock! The man came out. ‘Have you any room in your house?’ Joseph asked. ‘My wife is very tired. We should like to stay for the night.’ ‘No, I’m sorry, I haven’t any room,’ answered the man. ‘You cannot stay at my house.’ 6 of 7 P1

  24. Luke 2:1-20 RERC 0- 04a Revealed Truth of God The Birth of Jesus (alternative) (from Jacqueline Sibley, Bible Stories for Little Children 6) But I expect that he saw Mary sitting on the donkey looking tired, because then he said, ‘I haven’t any room in my house, but there is room in my stable. The animals that belong to the other travellers are there. My cows are there too. But your wife looks very tired. You may sleep there if you like. So Mary and Joseph went to the stable at the back of the house. They found a corner away from the animals, and lay down in the straw. 6 of 7 P1

  25. Luke 2:1-20 RERC 0- 04a Revealed Truth of God The Birth of Jesus (alternative) (from Jacqueline Sibley, Bible Stories for Little Children 6) That night Jesus, God’s son, was born. He was God’s Son, but he wasn’t born in a comfortable house. He was born in a stable with animals nearby. Mary wrapped baby Jesus in the swaddling clothes that she had brought. But she hadn’t a cradle for Him. So Joseph said, ‘Let’s use one of the animal’s feeding boxes.’ The feeding box was called a manger. 7 of 7 P1

  26. Luke 2:1-20 RERC 0- 04a Revealed Truth of God The Birth of Jesus (alternative) (from Jacqueline Sibley, Bible Stories for Little Children 6) Joseph put some clean straw into the manger and then Mary gently down to sleep. Mary and Joseph looked at Baby Jesus. They loved Him very much. They were so happy. They knew that God had sent His Son as he had promised. Jesus, God’s Son, had been born. 7 of 7 P1

  27. RERC 0- 05a Son of God Luke 2:8-20 The Shepherds and angels 8 That night in the fields near Bethlehem some shepherds were guarding their sheep. 9All at once an angel came down to them from the Lord, and the brightness of the Lord's glory flashed around them. The shepherds were frightened. 10But the angel said, "Don't be afraid! I have good news for you, which will make everyone happy. 11This very day in King David's hometown a Savior was born for you. He is Christ the Lord. 1 of 4 P1

  28. RERC 0- 05a Son of God Luke 2:8-20 (cont’d) 12You will know who he is, because you will find him dressed in baby clothes and lying on a bed of hay." 13Suddenly many other angels came down from heaven and joined in praising God. They said: 14"Praise God in heaven!    Peace on earth to everyone    who pleases God." P1 2 of 4

  29. Luke 2:8-20(cont’d) RERC 0- 05a Son of God 15After the angels had left and gone back to heaven, the shepherds said to each other, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see what the Lord has told us about." 16They hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and they saw the baby lying on a bed of hay. 17When the shepherds saw Jesus, they told his parents what the angel had said about him. 18Everyone listened and was surprised. 3 of 4 P1

  30. RERC 0-05a Son of God Luke 2:8-20(cont’d) 19But Mary kept thinking about all this and wondering what it meant. 20As the shepherds returned to their sheep, they were praising God and saying wonderful things about him. Everything they had seen and heard was just as the angel had said. P1 4 of 4

  31. Luke 2:8-20(cont’d) RERC 0-05a Son of God The shepherds and the angels(alternative) from Jacqueline Sibley, Story Time Two Once there was a shepherd. We do not know his name, but we shall call him Benjamin. Benjamin and his friends looked after some sheep. One night, they were on a hill outside Bethlehem. It was a cold night and Benjamin wrapped his cloak around himself to keep warm. 4of5 P2

  32. Luke 2:8-20(cont’d) RERC 0-05a Son of God The shepherds had built a fire. The fire frightened away any lions or bears that might be around, for lions and bears like to catch little lambs. The fire also kept the shepherds warm. Benjamin lay down near it to go to sleep. He could see the stars twinkling in the sky. He could hear the sheep saying 'Baa' softly to one another. Some other shepherds were lying near the fire too. But some stayed awake because it was their turn to look after the sheep. They had to see that none wandered away and was lost. They had to make sure that no lions or bears were around. 4of5 P2

  33. Luke 2:8-20(cont’d) RERC 0-05a Son of God Suddenly Benjamin saw a light. It was shining very brightly. It was much brighter than the flickering fire or the twinkling stars. He couldn't understand what it was. He jumped up and looked around. Then he saw an angel. He had never seen an angel before and he was frightened. He looked for his friends. They had seen the angel too. They were kneeling on the ground hiding their faces. So Benjamin knelt on the ground and hid his face. No one dared to look at the angel. They were all afraid. 4of5 P2

  34. Luke 2:8-20(cont’d) RERC 0-05a Son of God The angel knew that they were frightened. He said to them, 'Don't be afraid! I have come to bring you some good news. Tonight God's Son has been born. He has been born quite near here in Bethlehem. You can find Him for yourselves. You will know when you have found Him because He has been born in a stable. His mother has put Him in a manger. She hasn't a proper cradle for Him.' 4of5 P2

  35. Luke 2:8-20(cont’d) RERC 0-05a Son of God Suddenly Benjamin saw some other angels in the sky. They were singing a beautiful song to praise God. Benjamin listened to their song. He had never heard anything so beautiful before. He wondered if he were really dreaming. Then the song ended. The angels went away. The bright light disappeared. It was quiet and dark everywhere again. Some of the shepherds rubbed their eyes. Some of them stood up. No one spoke for a little while. 4of5 P2

  36. Luke 2:8-20(cont’d) RERC 0-05a Son of God Then one of the older men said, 'Why are we all standing here! We must go straight to Bethlehem. We must find this Baby whom God has told us about.' 'Of course we must go,’ said another shepherd. 'Yes! yes !' said Benjamin and everyone else. So the shepherds left their sheep on the hillside. They hurried down to Bethlehem as fast as they could go. Benjamin was veryexcited. He could hardly wait to get there. Soon they came to Bethlehem and found the stable where Mary and Joseph were staying. 4of5 P2

  37. Luke 2:8-20(cont’d) RERC 0-05a Son of God One shepherd went quietly inside. 'May my friends and I see your Baby, please?' he asked Mary. 'Of course you may,’ Mary replied. So all the shepherds looked at Baby Jesus. They were very quiet. They didn't want to frighten Him. Benjamin looked at Him too. Baby Jesus was wrapped in swaddling clothes and lyinga manger, just as the angel had said. He was very, very tiny. 4of5 P2

  38. Luke 2:8-20 (cont’d) RERC 0-05a Son of God They were all so happy that they had seen Baby Jesus. Each one of them said Thank You' to God for sending the angel to tellthem about Him, and for letting them see Him. Benjamin said 'Thank You' to God too. He knew that he would never forget that wonderful night. 4of5 P2

  39. RERC 0-05a Son of God Matthew 2 : 1-12 The Magi/Wise men 1When Jesus was born in the village of Bethlehem in Judea, Herod was king. During this time some wise men from the east came to Jerusalem 2and said, "Where is the child born to be king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.“ 3When King Herod heard about this, he was worried, and so was everyone else in Jerusalem. P1

  40. Matthew 2 : 1-12 (cont’d) RERC 0-05a Son of God 4Herod brought together the chief priests and the teachers of the Law of Moses and asked them, "Where will the Messiah be born?" 5They told him, "He will be born in Bethlehem, just as the prophet wrote, 6'Bethlehem in the land of Judea,    you are very important    among the towns of Judea.    From your town will come a leader,    who will be like a shepherd    for my people Israel.' " P1

  41. RERC 0-05a Son of God Matthew 2 : 1-12 (cont’d) 7Herod secretly called in the wise men and asked them when they had first seen the star. 8He told them, "Go to Bethlehem and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, let me know. I want to go and worship him too." 9The wise men listened to what the king said and then left. And the star they had seen in the east went on ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. P1

  42. RERC 0- 05a Son of God Matthew 2 : 1-12 (cont’d) 10They were thrilled and excited to see the star. 11When the men went into the house and saw the child with Mary, his mother, they knelt down and worshiped him. They took out their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh and gave them to him. 12Later they were warned in a dream not to return to Herod, and they went back home by another road. P1

  43. RERC 0- 07a Son of God Mark 16:1-6 Easter Sunday morning 1After the Sabbath, Mary Magdalene, Salome, and Mary the mother of James bought some spices to put on Jesus' body. 2Very early on Sunday morning, just as the sun was coming up, they went to the tomb. 3On their way, they were asking one another, "Who will roll the stone away from the entrance for us?" 4But when they looked, they saw that the stone had already been rolled away. And it was a huge stone! P1

  44. RERC 0-07a Son of God Mark 16:1-6 (cont’d) 5The women went into the tomb, and on the right side they saw a young man in a white robe sitting there. They were alarmed. 6The man said, "Don't be alarmed! You are looking for Jesus from Nazareth, who was nailed to a cross. God has raised him to life, and he isn't here. You can see the place where they put his body. P1

  45. RERC 0- 07a Signs of God Romans 8:26-27 The Holy Spirit Helps Us To Pray 26In certain ways we are weak, but the Spirit is here to help us. For example, when we don't know what to pray for, the Spirit prays for us in ways that cannot be put into words. 27All of our thoughts are known to God. He can understand what is in the mind of the Spirit, as the Spirit prays for God's people. P1

  46. RERC 0-11a Word of God Mark 12:41-44 The Widow’s Offering 41Jesus was sitting in the temple near the offering box and watching people put in their gifts. He noticed that many rich people were giving a lot of money. 42Finally, a poor widow came up and put in two coins that were worth only a few pennies. 43Jesus told his disciples to gather around him. Then he said:    I tell you that this poor widow has put in more than all the others. 44Everyone else gave what they didn't need. But she is very poor and gave everything she had. Now she doesn't have a penny to live on. P1

  47. RERC 0-11a Word of God Mark 12:41-44 The Widow’s Offering (alternative) (from Jacqueline Sibley, Bible Stories for Little Children 5) In God’s House, the Temple, there were thirteen boxes. Can you count them? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen. Every day crowds of people walked past them and as they did they usually threw some money into one of them. You see, these thirteen special boxes were collecting boxes and the money that people put into them was used for God’s work. P1

  48. RERC 0-11a Word of God Mark 12:41-44 The Widow’s Offering (alternative) (from Jacqueline Sibley, Bible Stories for Little Children 5) One day, Jesus and his friends were sitting in God’s House, the Temple. As they sat there Jesus could see the thirteen special boxes and He watched the people throwing in their money. One man wore beautiful clothes. He must have had lots of money to be able to buy them. He stopped by one of the special boxes. ‘I must give some money to God’s work,’ he said. P1
