Abraham said, “Here I am, Lord.” “Take your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah. Build an altar there and offer Isaac on it as a burnt sacrifice to Me.” Abraham could not believe his ears. Abraham had waited many years for this promised child. He did not understand why God now wanted him to sacrifice his precious son. But Abraham had learnt to obey God’s commandments, and so he got out of bed and walked over to where Isaac lay asleep. Abraham wept as he looked at his son. They would not have very much time left to spend together. Abraham dried his tears as best he could, then shook Isaac. Isaac opened his eyes sleepily.

Have you ever felt sad because your skin is a different colour from your friends? The truth was, Noah would LOVE to wear sunscreen. Every morning when he woke up, he would stand at the bathroom mirror searching for a freckle, any sized freckle, so he could look like Shaun. Noah hated his dark skin. He hated being the only kid on his street with dark skin. He just wanted to be like the other kids. After he and Shaun had played some more, Noah slowly made his way back to his house. His mum looked up from the stove as he dragged himself inside. “Are you excited for the first day of school tomorrow?” she asked him. “No,” sighed Noah, dropping down onto a stool. “Mum, why doesn’t anybody else at school look like me?” “There are lots of kids at school with your skin colour, Noah, and lots of other skin colours, too,” said Mum. “None in my class,” said Noah, sadly. “I’m the only one with such dark skin. I don’t like it, Mum. I wish my skin was lighter. I wish I had skin like Shaun’s!” Do you want to know what happens next? You can find out by listening to the whole story - it's a great one!

Some clean cloths, and some herbs. And quickly!” She began to air out the room and gently moved Lazarus onto his side. Mary stayed in the doorway, worried for her brother.

Today's story is about Stompy, the little elephant - she's at her grandparents' farm on holidays and is curious about Cecil the Ostrich. But Cecil gets upset at Stompy and chases her! Get ready to have an adventure with Stompy! While Lola was busy playing with the baby chicks and the hens, Stompy sneaked away and headed to Cecil’s area. She peeked over the fence and smiled. “Hi Cecil.” She called. But Cecil ignored her. Stompy called again. But Cecil did not budge. Hmm, thought Stompy. Maybe he can’t hear me. Looking around, she found a long stick. She picked it up with her trunk and poked Cecil gently on the side. “Hi Cecil.” She poked her again. This time Cecil turned around and stared directly at Stompy. “Hi?” Stompy called. Cecil lifted his head and ran towards Stompy. Then with great force he kicked the fence where stompy stood and send her whooshing across the ground. To listen to the whole story, find a comfortable chair or cosy corner and enjoy!

Today's story is about David Livingstone - a missionary and explorer who travelled to Africa to tell others about Jesus. The life of David Livingstone begins in the town of Blantyre, Scotland. He was born to devoted Christian parents, and at a very young age David developed a love for the outdoors and exploring. One day David climbed to a very high point of the ruins of an old castle, which was higher than any other boy had ever reached, and he decided to carve his name there. Before David was ten years old, he had memorised the whole of Psalm 119, which is the longest book in the Bible, and he recited it with only five mistakes! David was not brighter than other boys around his age, he was just more determined to learn new things than they were. When he was ten years old, he found work in the cotton mills. There in the factory, David would put his books on the spinning jenny machine, which was an old-fashioned machine people used to help them make cotton for clothes. There he could still be reading and learning even when he was working in the cotton factory. At the age of twenty, David gave his heart to Jesus and became a Christian. One day, a man called Doctor Carey told the people in the churches about missionary work, and David became excited at that idea. His eagerness grew as there was more talk of mission jobs, and eventually he declared, “I want to show how much I love Jesus by devoting my life to His service and becoming a missionary.” Do you want to know what happens next?

Today's story is found in your Bibles - you can read it in Luke 17:11-19 - Jesus heals 10 lepers. It all started with ten men who were very sick. They had leprosy—a sickness where they had red lumps and bumps on their body. The worst part about leprosy was nobody could touch you, or else they’d get sick, too! So the ten men with leprosy weren’t allowed to live inside their village. They stayed outside, and they must have been pretty sad. But one day, Jesus was walking to Jerusalem when he came across the village where the lepers lived. One of the lepers sprang to his feet when he saw Jesus coming toward them in the distance. “Hey!” he called out to his fellow leper friends. “Look! Is that Jesus?” “It is!” said another leper. “Let’s call out to him!” The lepers were very excited to see Jesus, because they had heard that Jesus healed people. Could Jesus heal them, too? “Jesus!” they called out. “Jesus!” As Jesus came closer, He could see the men with their lumps and bumps. He could see that they were very sick, and His heart filled with care for the lepers. But how many were there? Jesus began to count… one, two, three…eight, nine… ten! Ten lepers! And they were coming closer to him now. The ten lepers suddenly stopped, afraid they were getting too close to Jesus. They didn’t want to make him sick, after all! But they wanted to get better. They wanted to be healed. As they looked at each other, one of them raised his voice and called out, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” Do you want to know what happens next?

Today's story is about a little girl called Elodie who finds out an amazing secret... Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived a little girl and her name was Elodie. She lived in a simple village with her father, mother, and baby brother. Elodie’s favourite thing to do was read books, pick flowers in the butterfly meadow, and bake yummy treats with her best friend, Annie. One day, Elodie and Annie were in the kitchen when her father burst through the wooden door. “Elodie!” he puffed, out of breath. “Where’s your mother?” Elodie stared at her father in surprise. He was holding a piece of parchment paper tightly in his hand. “She’s gone to the market,” Elodie told her father. Father spun around and rushed back out the door. “What was that all about?” asked Annie. "I have no idea,” Elodie answered her friend. “I guess I’ll find out later.” That evening, the family was eating dinner when Father stood up. “I have something to share,” he said, smiling at Elodie and at Mother, who was feeding the baby in the rocking chair. Elodie sat up straighter and listened carefully. She didn’t want to miss what Father said! Father held up the parchment paper he’d come home with earlier. “This piece of paper says something very special,” began Father. “But I need to explain something first. Elodie, you are a princess.” Elodie was stunned. She replayed the words in her mind. “A princess? Me? How is that possible?” she asked Father...... Do you want to know what happens next?

Today's story is found in the book of Genesis 11:1-9. All about the greatest tower in the world back in bible times: The tower of Babel. Jambo! Bonjour! Konnichiwa! We’re saying hello in different languages. What language do you speak? If you’re listening to this story, you are hearing it in English. Some of you can speak other languages, like Mandarin, or Spanish, or maybe even Arabic! Well, this story is about a group of people who could all speak only one language—but it wasn’t a good thing! Let’s find out why… After the big flood that covered the whole earth, God told everyone on board to spread out all over the world. The animals got off the ark and went to find new homes, in the mountains, the lakes, the forests and the deserts. Noah and his family got off the ark too, and as the years went by, the family grew and grew until there were lots of people living on the earth once again. But they didn’t adventure across the earth. They all stayed together. This wasn’t what God had told them to do. One day, this big group of people decided to find a new home. They moved all their things into a big desert area, and made lots of bricks to use for homes. But then, someone had an idea. “Hey, everyone!” said a person. “Why don’t we build a city with a tower?” The people liked this.....

Today’s story is about a little seahorse that feels sad because he isn't like anyone else. He wants to be a turtle, an octopus or a Manta Ray and does not embrace who God made him to be. Below the waters of the deep blue Sea, lived Splash, a tiny seahorse. Early one morning, Splash glanced up to the waters above. It looked so pretty with the rays of the sun splashing and creating a rainbow of light below. He loved his home, but lately he had been a little unhappy. Hidden in the seagrass beds, he admired Ophelia, the octopus, one creature of the deep. He sighed. His heart felt sad. Why did he have to be so small? How he wished to be strong like Ophelia with her eight groovy arms, which she used to move rocks to build her den. To listen to the whole story, find a comfortable chair or cosy corner and enjoy!

Today’s story is very special as it is written by 7 year old Zaira Lace. This story is about Little M the lion and how he learns that it's important to listen to your parents. Once upon a time there was a cute lion cub called Little M. He was mischievous and cheeky but lots of fun. His name was special because he was named after his dad, Mighty, the most respected lion in the waterhole. Mighty was the king. Little looked up to his dad, but it was his mum, Inkabel, that Little M adored because she took care of him and played with him every day. Little M lived in a cozy cave near a beautiful waterhole called ‘Shimmering Waters’. This waterhole was crystal clear and its water tasted ever so slightly of salt. It was surrounded by tangled trees and the edge was dotted with yellow daisies, but Little M’s favourite part was the sparkling waterfall. It was this very waterfall that would get Little M into very BIG trouble. One particular morning Little M was finishing his breakfast when he heard a familiar sound outside the cave. He ran out excitedly barely hearing his mum and dad plead for him to have fun but be careful. The sun was shining, the waterfall shimmering and there was his best friend Ginger growling for him to come play with her....

Today’s story is about Peter the disciple of Jesus - when an Angel miraculously breaks him free from prison. Peter’s heart was pounding fast, faster than it ever had before. He didn’t dare sit down, in case a rat crawled over his lap again. At least, he thought it had been a rat. It was pitch black in the prison cell, and he really couldn’t tell what creatures were in here. Peter inched closer to the bars of the cell door, being careful not to rattle the chains around his ankles too much. The last thing he wanted was for the mean prison guards to hear him. Reaching the cell door, he wrapped his hands around the cold metal bars. How had this happened? Peter thought about the terrible week he’d had. King Herod hated the church that Peter and his friends belonged to. King Herod hated that they talked about Jesus, and how they believed Jesus was the one true King. Peter hadn’t been afraid of evil King Herod. He knew that Jesus was stronger than any king on earth. But now King Herod had arrested Peter and thrown him into jail. Not only that, but he had sent so many soldiers to guard the prison. There was no way Peter could escape, and he knew it was only a matter of time before King Herod decided to do something even more evil....

The whole class got one,” said Casey. “But I’m not going!” “What? Why not?” asked Lucas. “Miguel’s weird,” said Casey. “But we haven’t even really talked to him!” said Lucas. “Well, I’m not going.” Casey decided firmly. “Neither am I,” said Alice, who had been listening from her place in the line. “No one really talks to Miguel.

This month, we have an amazing story of a very brave woman called Harriet Tubman. She was a slave many years ago and had a sad life - however, that did not stop her from living a full life - instead she helped rescue many slaves. Here is a sneak peek A long, long time ago, in a country called the United States of America, there lived a little girl. Her name was Harriet. Harriet lived with her mum and dad and nine siblings. Life was very difficult for Harriet and her family. Back then, people owned other people, and forced them to do very hard jobs, all day, every day. This is called slavery, and it was very common for people like Harriet, who were born with dark skin. Harriet and her family lived on a large farm in a place called Maryland. Even when she was very little, Harriet was forced to do lots of chores that she didn’t want to do, and was beaten and punished badly if she didn’t do them right. On the farm, she became very strong, working with cows and animals and planting in the fields. But one day, something terrible happened to Harriet....

This month we are looking at the story of Joseph and his coat of many colours. You can read his story in the Bible in Genesis chapter 37 to chapter 50. Here is a sneak peek... The baker’s glared at Joseph. How dare he give me this interpretation! I don’t believe it one bit; he thought. But when he remembered the interpretations were from God and not Joseph, he realised he couldn’t be angry. He sighed heavily and soon his angry eyes changed and filled with tears. We don’t know for sure, but we can imagine Joseph putting his arm around the baker to comfort him in his last days on this earth, and perhaps he shared the good news of salvation with him, so that he could decide to follow God before he died. However it happened, we know Joseph was kind and caring and did all he could to uplift the hearts of others around him. Sure enough, three days later, the baker was taken out to be executed, and the butler was returned to Pharaoh’s palace. … Find a comfortable chair or a cosy corner and listen to the story of Joseph and his coat of many colours, part 4.

This month we are looking at the story of Joseph and his coat of many colours. You can read his story in the Bible in Genesis chapter 37 to chapter 50. Here is a sneak peek... With his hands tied together with rope and his bare feet walking across the hot sand of the desert, he gave his life to God and prayed that the Lord would be with him as he entered the strange land. Upon arriving in Egypt, they sold Joseph as a slave to Potiphar, who was the captain of the pharaoh’s guards. All around him were people who lived corrupt lives; yet Joseph determined in his heart to do good for his earthly master and to work to the best of his abilities. Though the Egyptians worshipped false gods, Joseph was not afraid to show that he worshipped the God of heaven. Potiphar saw Joseph was diligent in all that he did, and one day, he asked, “Joseph, what is the secret to your success? I see you working hard all day, and I cannot understand what makes you work so well…” Find a comfortable chair or a cosy corner and listen to the story of Joseph and his coat of many colours, part 3.
