LESSON ONE: Chosen Set in the house from which Saul was lowered in a basket from the wall of Damascus, this is the story of how God chose Saul and how Saul responded to God on His terms. But after his conversion, Saul was so zealous for God and the gospel that he encountered some very severe persecution. To save his life, his friends lowered him in a basket out the window of a house that was built into the city wall. LESSON TWO: You Can’t Keep A Good Man Down This lesson is set in a deserted place just outside Lystra where they would have dragged Saul and left him for dead. LESSON THREE: Jail House Rock Paul and Silas’ experience in Philippi was the best and the worst, and then the best, again. It’s a great story to tell with a great message and meaning for us today. Set just outside the Philippian jail, I suggest a woman tell this story as Lydia, Philippi’s seller of purple; if a man teaches this lesson, he could then tell the story as the Philippian jailer. LESSON FOUR: WHERE IN THE WORLD IS MARS HILL? The narrative for this lesson is in the “AGORA” (the market place of Athens), where Paul first encountered the philosophers. It was here that some Epicurean and Stoic philosophers exchanged ideas with Paul, and began to dispute with him. The AGORA was the place where most people came for social interaction, as well as to do their shopping. A creative story teller can re-create the bazaar-like atmosphere for the agora and have a blast with the story. LESSON FIVE: AN ALL-EXPENSES-PAID TRIP TO ROME It takes a TIME TUNNEL to get into the room for this story. The story-teller dresses in an Indiana Jones/archeologist costume and takes the children back in time to a Roman prison to tell them the story of Paul’s Roman imprisonment.

LESSON ONE: Dare to Obey, “In The King’s Service” Lesson One transports your young students to ancient Babylon to the lower regions of King Neubchadnezzar’s palace. There among the other captives from Judah, they’ll meet four extraordinary Hebrew boys who dare to obey the laws of their God – the laws they had learned and followed from childhood. Choosing not to eat the King’s food, they are blessed for their obedience to God’s Law, and enter into the King’s service. LESSON TWO: Dare to Pray Not Panic, “Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream” Panic is spreading in Babylon. The king has issued a death warrant for all his wise men. This includes Daniel, Shadrach Meshach and Abednego. The king’s dream, unexplained, is a mystery to all but Daniel who seeks out his three friends to pray and seek God’s revelation. Set in the king’s bedroom, your students will listen in awe as the dream unfolds. LESSON THREE: Dare to Stand Alone, “The Fiery Furnace” “Seven times hotter – hotter than it ought to be…Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego.” You can almost feel the heat in this lesson as the furnace takes center stage. What courage, what faith – to stand alone when everyone else bows to the idol. The example of going against the flow despite the consequences is a powerful testimony in this dramatic lesson of bravery and commitment. The surprise ending is one children never forget! LESSON FOUR: Dare to Give God the Glory, “Belshazzar’s Feast” Pride is a terrible thing to witness and a terrible thing to embrace. The arrogant King Belshazzar sees the hand writing on the wall and pays with his life and kingdom for his blasphemy of the true living God. Set in the banquet hall of the palace, your students will also read the words, “MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN” and learn one of God’s eternal laws…a man reaps what he sows. LESSON FIVE: Dare to Have Faith, “Daniel and the Lion’s Den” One of the most beloved Bible stories of all children, Daniel and the Lion’s Den come to life in this lesson room. Done with the aid of DeLion and puppets or told by the Lion Keeper, this lesson reaches down through the centuries to challenge and excite children of all ages as they witness the faith of this “extra – ordinary” man.

LESSON ONE: The Lost Sheep 97-98-99… 97-98-99… 97-98-99… A peaceful hillside, a faithful shepherd and a missing sheep. What was lost is soon found. The shepherd rejoices and so does all of heaven when a sinner repents! A life changing story. LESSON TWO: The Lost Coin Sweep the house. Move the furniture. Look under the mat. Where did that coin go? A determined woman welcomes children into her Bible time home and invites them to help her search for a missing coin setting the stage for the truth of God’s search-and-rescue mission on planet earth. LESSON THREE: The Lost Son Let’s have a party! My son has come home! The celebration banquet is the setting for this story telling host. Balloons, streamers and food galore! What better way to convey the joy of this day and get a glimpse into the heart of God our Father. LESSON FOUR: The Good Samaritan Who is my neighbor? The good, the bad and the ugly all appear in this dramatic encounter on the Jericho road. See love in action from this compassionate, generous and good Samaritan’s story. LESSON FIVE: The Sower Dirt, dirt and more dirt…come into the garden. There is a lot to learn here. What kind of soil will you be?

LESSON ONE: Peter and John Before the Sanhedrin, two unschooled men proclaim Jesus with a boldness and clarity that defies their background. They had been with Jesus – that was the only explanation. Despite orders to cease, these heroes follow a higher calling and continue to speak the Name above all other names. LESSON TWO: Tabitha Tirelessly expressing love for others, this hero puts into practice her faith. Words alone are not enough. The Gospel is displayed through acts of kindness that warm and comfort those in need. Sit down, if you can find a spot! This simple home is always full of projects and people! The garments you see are evidence of an Uncommon Hero with a servant’s heart. LESSON THREE: The Lady and The Jailer “What must I do to be saved?” Two people with little in common except a courageous response to the Gospel that brings salvation to all who believe. Together they become heroes of a different kind. Lydia, Seller of Purple, reads the sign over this place of business. Strange things have been going on in Philippi of late. Everyday people becoming Uncommon Heroes! “The Lady” will explain everything; she always does to any customer that walks through her door. LESSON FOUR: Philip A man in a chariot. A man on the road. One needing to hear. One willing to preach. “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news.” An uncommon hero sent in the power of the Holy Spirit. The study area in Phillip’s home is always open to inquirers of the faith. Meet this remarkable Uncommon Hero as he shares how God has used him to tell the Good News of salvation in the most exciting of ways! LESSON FIVE: Paul A hero with a mission – a mission “possible.” Facing dangers of all kinds, this hero among heroes relentlessly pursues his God given calling. Please excuse the Roman soldier. He is only doing his job. Actually, his job has changed since he encountered the prisoner in the cell you are about to enter. Paul. Who can fathom the dangers this chosen man has faced for the sake of the Gospel. You will be changed, too, after you hear from this Uncommon Hero in chains.

LESSON ONE: Up A Tree, Zacchaeus Zacchaeus met Jesus, when He stopped at the foot of a tree and said, “Zacchaeus, Come Down NOW!” Little did Zacchaeus know what a change this act of friendship would bring to his lonely life. How could meeting a man willing to be his friend change so much? Climb on up and hear for yourself! LESSON TWO: In The Dark, Nicodemus Nicodemus came to Jesus by night. Listening to him teach about being “born again,” he met the Savior. But knowing about Jesus was not enough. Surely he must have said to himself, “Nicodemus, NOW you must decide” to believe in him. Gather together on the roof top and hear about the amazing night Nicodemus came face to face with Jesus. LESSON THREE: Across Town, Jairus Let’s join Jairus in the Synagogue and hear how meeting Jesus NOW turned his sorrow to joy! Shhh… Quiet, please. The Synagogue is a very important place, and we must show special reverence here. Girls, sit over there, please. Boys, you can sit here. Jairus will be here in just a moment. Perhaps you can meet his daughter. She’s not much older than you… LESSON FOUR: Through The Roof, the Paralytic What’s going on here?! This is the messiest house I’ve ever seen! Didn’t the people who live here know we were coming today? Look at that, boys and girls! The roof has a hole in it!! No wonder there’s such a mess. Watch your step. Surely NOW someone will come and tell us what happened here. It must have been something terrible. Or maybe it was something wonderful! LESSON FIVE: On The Road To Emmaus Come in. Make yourself at home. Join us as we break bread around the table. Cleopas has so much to tell you. I can’t wait until you hear the amazing story of the walk and the talk he had with the Man everyone thought was dead. NOW, you, too, can dare to believe!

LESSON ONE: Water into Wine Come join the celebration! Years have passed since the wedding, and the anniversary party is tonight! Sit for a while on the back porch and visit with the servants as they prepare for the big event. Perhaps they will even let you taste some of the delicacies they have just taken from the outdoor oven. Don’t knock over those stone water pots, though. They are special at this house. A miracle took place inside their earthen bodies, and the change that happened within them was just the beginning of the changes that have been taking place in the hearts of men and women ever since! LESSON TWO: Blind Eyes See Don’t get lost! The market place is the busiest place in town. If you are not careful you will find yourself apart from everyone else. Can you imagine what it would be like to not be able to see where you are going in a place like this? Hey, that reminds me of a story about Jesus. But wait, there’s the tailor’s shop. He can tell us all about it. He used to be blind, you know. That is, until he met Jesus! LESSON THREE: Wind and Waves Nothing can be better than coming down to the sea shore early in the morning when you need to get away. It’s such a peaceful place. The sea breeze, the smell of the salt air, and the mist in your face, and —ugh…what’s that other smell? Ooh, that other smell isn’t so good. Someone must be cleaning fish. Why, it’s Bartholomew, one of Jesus’ disciples! He’s got the coals going, and I’ll bet we might even get a bit of breakfast. But the best part will be the story I know Bartholomew will tell you. You see, he knows a different side of this calm sea… LESSON FOUR: Sorrow to Joy Let’s join Jairus in the Synagogue and hear how Jesus turned his sorrow to joy! Shhh… Quiet, please. The Synagogue is a very important place, and we must show special reverence here. Girls, sit over there, please. Boys, you can sit here. Do you all have your head coverings? Jairus will be here in just a moment. Perhaps you can meet his daughter. She’s not much older than you… LESSON FIVE: The Greatest Miracle of All What’s going on here?! This is the messiest house I’ve ever seen! Didn’t the people who live here know we were coming today? Look at that, boys and girls! The roof has a hole in it!! No wonder there’s such a mess. Watch your step. Surely someone will come and tell us what happened here. It must have been something terrible. Or maybe it was something wonderful!

LESSON ONE: Jesus, The Alpha: “Creation” Open this door and experience the wonders of creation itself. A science teacher will welcome the children and walk them through 7 stations depicting the days of creation. Murals, plants, aquariums, birds in cages, gerbils, stars on the ceiling all work in tandem to teach and explore the truth of creation, with Jesus at His Father’s side. Reliable evolution-vs.-creation resource material is also included for older classes. LESSON TWO: Jesus, The Alpha: “The Secret” Walk through this door into a prophet’s home during Old Testament times. Listen as the puppet, P.A., charmingly introduces the children to a prophet’s life. A life that spoke God’s messages and promises to the people of that day. Learn of the great promise of a coming King of Kings. Search intently with the prophets as they long to know this secret. Who would he be? When would he come? Where will he be born? What will be his name? LESSON THREE: Jesus, The Alpha: “The Visit” This door opens into a musty stable. Lanterns, hay and tools set the stage. What’s that in the corner…an old manger? Looks like it hasn’t been used in years. Now grown, the inn keeper’s daughter unravels the events of that special night, 35 years ago, and wonders about the great teacher and miracle worker who walks the countryside. Could there be a connection? Jesus, God’s very own Son, has come and now walks these few years on our planet. Feel the excitement once again. LESSON FOUR: Jesus, The Alpha: “The Last Supper” There’s more to this story! Before you go through this door, however, take off your shoes. We’re going to recline and have dinner tonight. But this special dinner is one young and old will remember for a long time. Roasted lamb, herbs, grape juice…all tools to teach about Jesus, our Savior. LESSON FIVE: Jesus, The Omega: “Heaven And Our Coming King” This door glitters and shines. What could wait for these young learners behind it? Once again, shoes are removed, not because of a meal, but because we are entering Holy Ground. The door swings open and an angel welcomes all. Silver and gold shine; sheers hang and glimmer in the light. No eye has seen, but we can call attention upward as children learn from God’s word what waits for them when Jesus comes.

LESSON ONE: Deborah, Come Back To Victory What?! A woman lead an army? Are you sure that’s in the Bible? Wait until your students hear about the dedication and courage of this mother in Israel. Step out of the hot desert sun and visit Deborah, the Judge, under the palms where she held court. Have a cool drink and relive her incredible story. Look around and see the remains of a great victory party and finally, understand the true victory that only God can give to people who Come Back to Him. LESSON TWO: Elijah, Come Back To God It’s not much farther. You can make it. It should be just around the next boulder. Lead your students up the path to the top of Mt. Carmel. Hear the story of “the Great Contest” retold by an energetic eye witness. In this corner…450 prophets of Baal. In this corner…Elijah. Good winning over evil through one man’s faithful obedience can never be matched by any fairy tale told today. You can almost smell the smoke and see the fire. All that is left is a broken down altar…a testimony to the power of God’s call to Come Back to Him. LESSON THREE: Naaman, Come Back To God’s Instructions You want me to do what? You’ve got to be kidding! Nothing doing! No way! Not me! Let’s go home, fellas! Well, maybe that’s paraphrasing just a little, but your students will get a powerful message from a man who had no intentions of following God’s instructions. Make yourself comfortable in the private chambers of the great commander of the armies of Aram. This heart-wrenching story is told by the Israelite servant girl taken into captivity by Naaman himself. The “manly” atmosphere and military effects tell of a man of pride and valor who must decide if he will Come Back to God’s Instructions. LESSON FOUR: Josiah, Come Back to The Book “The B-I-B-L-E, yes, that’s the book for me! I stand alone on the word of God, the B-I-B-L-E!” A Bible to call your own is one of those first time experiences that is very significant in the mind and heart of a child. From earliest ages children from Christian homes are taught to love and treasure God’s Word. Imagine the drama you can create as you tell of the Book that was lost and then was found. How exciting this lesson could be for children as they understand that the chief figure in this story became king at the age of eight! Help your student’s Come Back to the only book that counts, the B-I-B-L-E. LESSON FIVE: Nehemiah, Come Back To Work It’s Tool Time! Grab your hammer and saw and come on down! Depending on the daring and creativity of your story-teller, this seldom told story could be a blockbuster. Set it in Nehemiah’s time or do a “Tool Time Show” of your own with the kids as the “studio audience”. Whichever way you go, make it your aim to help your students catch the vision and thrill of doing God’s work. Come Back, to work. You’ll be glad you did.

LESSON ONE: God’s Forever Family…Together From Acts, chapter 2, the Church explodes onto the scene! With the sound of a mighty rushing wind and tongues of flame, God gives birth to His baby Church.

Told with the enthusiasm and energy of a brand new believer, this story of the birth of the Church will excite and captivate the imagination of your students. LESSON TWO: God’s Forever Family Learns Together House to house to house. That was God’s plan for how His baby Church would grow and mature. In the home of a sleepy Carpus, your students will hear the story of a world-record sermon, and Eutychus’ fall from a second story window. “Come in and sit down,” he says, “but not too close to that window! God’s Forever Family was devoted to the Apostles’ Teaching, and this lesson creatively shows why we give such great care to learning God’s Word. LESSON THREE: God’s Forever Family Shares Together Smells from the kitchen greet your students as they enter this home. The hostess wipes flour from her face and begins retelling her story of the baby Church’s “Meals On Wheels”… Well, maybe not on wheels… But God’s Church shared all they had, each meeting whatever needs they could with the resources God had provided. LESSON FOUR: God’s Forever Family Remembers Together Move over, Indiana Jones! Crawl through a time tunnel to visit the Corinthian Church and share in the feast of remembrance, the Love Feast. This lesson examines the Lord’s Supper, then and now, in a fresh and personal way. LESSON FIVE: Gods’ Forever Family Prays Together Rhoda will meet your students at the door to the outer courtyard of John Mark’s family home – the same door she left Peter standing outside, the night God released him from Herod’s prison. Her story of Peter’s Great Escape and the prayers of the saints on his behalf, will encourage you and your students to follow the early Church’s example in powerful, believing prayer.

LESSON ONE: 10 Lepers “Unclean! Unclean!” An outcast from society, that’s what this man had to shout everywhere he went. Ten men traveled to be healed by Jesus. Meet the one who was willing to go the distance to come back and say, “Thank you.” LESSON TWO: Feet Washing After a day of walking on dirt roads, feet can be pretty GROSS! A good washing is just what dirty feet need. Get to know a man who had his feet washed by the Messiah. He saw Jesus go the distance even when the job stunk. LESSON THREE: Cornelius He was a Gentile, not a Jew, but he loved God. Spend some time with Cornelius, one of the first Gentile converts to Christianity. Hear how Peter learned to go the distance to share the Gospel message with him. LESSON FOUR: Ebed-Melech You may have a little trouble remembering his name, but you won’t forget what he did. Visit with the man who rescued the prophet, Jeremiah, from a cistern. Ebed-Melech would go the distance to look out for comfort as well as safety. LESSON FIVE: Solomon Follow the Queen of Sheba as she guides you on a tour of the Temple. She traveled from far away to meet the wise Solomon. Listen to how Solomon decided to go the distance, right down to the last detail, as he built God’s Temple.

LESSON ONE: An Incredible Mission On the bank of the Nile River, just a few steps from the Pharaoh’s palace, a now-grown servant of the Pharaoh’s daughter tells the story of Moses’ life. From his birth and river-basket ride into the Pharaoh’s daughter’s arms, to the burning bush on the side of Mt. Sinai, your students will see how God uses imperfect, insecure people, like Moses — and like them — to do His work and shape history. LESSON TWO: An Incredible God From Israel’s camp on the road to Mt. Sinai, Mariam, Moses’ sister tells the incredible story of how God freed His Children from their 400 year bondage to Egypt. The details of the plagues, and the miracle of the crossing of the Red Sea will engage your students’ imagination, as Miriam brings the story to life in this lesson. LESSON THREE: An Incredible Law Joshua (or Joshua’s wife) will welcome your students to a camp in disarray. Food, clothes and debris litter the camp site the day after the Golden Calf Incident. In a world where consequences seem to be a thing of the past, the message of Joshua’s story has special power: when you break God’s commands, you can be sure there are consequences. LESSON FOUR: Incredible Provision “Shhh. Welcome and come on in, but please be as quiet as you can. Most of the rest of the camp’s asleep. I don’t want to wake up Benjamin, over there. He’s just a bear when he’s awakened in the night. And he’s a light sleeper.” Your students will hear ol’ Ben snoring and see his legs sticking out from under his tent, but they won’t meet him. Around the midnight campfire of an Israelite’s camp site, your students will hear the amazing story of God’s Incredible Provision for His children as they traveled through the wilderness for 40 years. There was the manna, the quail, water from the rock, special provision for a unique way to win a battle. Even their clothes and sandals didn’t wear out in those 40 years. Your students will be challenged to remember that the same God who provided for the Children of Israel is at work to provide for them, today. LESSON FIVE: Incredible Stubbornness On the banks of the Jordan River, Caleb (or Caleb’s wife) tells the story of how, 40 years earlier, Israel’s Incredible Stubbornness had kept them out of the Promised Land. While sharpening his knife and working with his weapons to make sure he’s ready for the battles that lay ahead, Caleb tells of how only he and Joshua had believed God would do as He said, and bring them safely to the land He had promised them, in spite of giants and fortified cities. Your students will be challenged to transform their fears into faith, to meet the challenges God has for them, today.

I’m so glad you’ve come to visit me. Please excuse our home, here. Noah has had so many things to do, we haven’t had time to build a proper home. So we’re still living in the ark…” WOW! The ark. A place of wonder. A place of shelter. A place to learn about promises! LESSON THREE: David and the Giant! “It’s been a pretty exciting day around here. Have a seat around the campfire. I was just about to enjoy an evening snack. Would any of you care for some?

In this new series, we’ll examine five figures from the Bible who devoted themselves to the Lord. Ezra: Devoted to Obeying God’s Word As a priest and teacher highly respected among the Jews and Babylonians, Ezra’s obedience when it was tough helped the remnant of Israelites realize their sin. Jeremiah: Devoted to Speaking God’s Word As God’s chosen vessel to deliver an unpleasant message to His people, Jeremiah was ridiculed and beaten because he was devoted to speaking God’s word. Elisha: Devoted to Continuing God’s Work As the prophet living in the shadow of the well-known Elijah, Elisha was motivated instead of deterred, living an exciting life that continued the ministry God began before him. Luke: Devoted to Learning about God As the author of a gospel and the book of Acts, the doctor and scholar Luke devoted himself to learning about God and provided a foundation for belief for generations to come. Timothy: Devoted to Following God’s Call As the youngest of our figures, Timothy was involved in Paul’s amazing ministry and was used to do great things, even at a young age.
