#426: Where Does Sin Really Begin? - Mark . Part . 25

Mark 7:9–23 Jesus continues His conversation with the Pharisees and teachers of the law, showing how human traditions can become excuses for disobeying God. Through the example of Corban, Jesus reveals that something can sound religious while still hiding a heart that is far from Him. Then Jesus turns everyone’s attention from what is outside the body to what is within. In this episode, kids will learn: God’s Word has greater authority than human traditions. A good activity should never become an excuse for disobedience. Biblical “heart” is not the heart organ in our chest and is explained.…

#425: Can We Look Like We Love God but Have Hearts Far From Him? - Mark . Part . 24

Scripture: Mark 7:1–8, Romans 13 The Pharisees and teachers of the law looked devoted to God. They knew Scripture, followed many religious traditions, and appeared very obedient.

In this episode, children will learn : 1. That good-looking actions do not always flow from a heart that loves God. 2. We’ll explore the difference between real fruit and “pretend…

# 421 : Why Twelve? - Mark · Part . 20

Mark 6:6–13 Jesus sent out the Twelve — two by two, with nothing but a walking stick and their sandals. Why twelve? And why send them out with nothing? In this episode, we go all the way back to Jacob and the twelve tribes of Israel to discover what Jesus was really doing — and we learn that the power to do His work is always a gift He gives, never something we pack, earn, or figure out on our own. In this episode: Why the number twelve points all the way back to Jacob and the twelve tribes of Israel How the first twelve tribes struggled to do their job — and how Jesus started fresh with a…

#420: Isn't That Just the Carpenter? · Mark · Part 19

Mark 6:1-6 Jesus goes home to Nazareth — and sees the people who watched Him grow up. They know His mother, His brothers, His sisters. Isn't that just the carpenter? They think and when He stands up in the synagogue and teaches with astonishing wisdom, they don't fall to their knees. They fold their arms. In this episode we walk through the verse that says "And he could do no mighty work there." Was Jesus not strong enough? Not for one second. Kids will learn why the King held back the joy of His kingdom from a town that had shut the door on Him — and why sometimes a big danger isn't…

# 418: Why Did Jesus Stop? - Mark Part 17

Scripture: Mark 5:21–35 Series: Mark part 17 In today's episode, we continue our journey through the Gospel of Mark and meet a woman who had been sick for twelve years. She had tried everything. Spent everything. And nothing had worked. But she had heard about Jesus—and she believed that if she could just get close enough to touch His cloak, she would be healed. And she was. Instantly. But then Jesus stopped and asked, "Who touched me?" The disciples thought it was a silly question—everyone was touching Him! So why did Jesus stop and ask? Today we find out.

#415: Why Would You Hide a Lamp? - Mark part 14

Scripture: Mark 4:21–34Series: Gospel of Mark, Part 14 In this episode, we continue our journey through the Gospel of Mark as Jesus teaches the crowds using parables. Last time, we learned how people respond differently to God’s Word in the Parable of the Sower. Today, Jesus builds on that teaching and helps us understand something new: not just how we respond, but what God is doing. Through the pictures of a lamp, a growing seed, and a tiny mustard seed, Jesus teaches us: God’s truth is like a light—it is meant to be seen, not hidden God is always at work, even when we cannot see it His…

# 414: What Kind of Soil Is My Heart? - Mark part 13

Scripture: Mark 4:1–20 In this episode, we continue our journey through the Gospel of Mark as Jesus teaches beside the lake and tells the Parable of the Sower.

In this story, the seed represents God’s Word, and the different soils represent the different ways people respond when they hear it.

#413: Are Christians Really a Family? - Mark part 12

Mark 3:20–35 & 1 John 3:8 In today’s episode, we hear one of the most important questions anyone could ever ask: Who is Jesus really? Some people thought Jesus was out of His mind. Others accused Him of doing evil. But Jesus made the truth clear— He is the Son of God, and He came to destroy the works of the devil, rescue sinners, and bring people into the family of God. We also hear Jesus say something surprising and beautiful: “Whoever does the will of God, he is my brother and sister and mother.” This episode helps children understand:-Jesus is the Son of God -Jesus came to destroy the…

Mark 3:1–6 In today’s story, Jesus enters a synagogue on the Sabbath and meets a man with a shriveled hand. While others watch closely—waiting to see if Jesus will break their rules—Jesus does something unexpected. He heals. But instead of celebrating, the religious leaders become angry. Why? Because they cared more about their rules… than people. In this episode, we explore what the Sabbath was meant to be, what the Pharisees misunderstood, and what it means to truly love God and others. 🔑 Key Truth God’s laws are rooted in love—and they teach us how to love Him and others well.

Mark 2:13–17 & Romans 3:10 In today’s episode, we continue our journey through the Gospel of Mark and meet a man named Levi, a tax collector whose life changed the moment Jesus said two simple words: “Follow me.” But what happened next surprised the Pharisees.

Scripture: Mark 2:1–12 Jesus returns to Capernaum and a massive crowd gathers so tightly packed that there isn’t even room outside the door. While Jesus preaches the Word, four friends arrive carrying a paralyzed man—so desperate to get him to Jesus that they climb onto the roof, dig through it, and lower their friend down right in front of Him. But instead of healing the man first, Jesus says something surprising: “Son, your sins are forgiven.” This becomes the beginning of controversy because the teachers of the law know that only God can forgive sins. Jesus responds by showing that He has…
