There is nothing I love more than reading about Jesus healing those who need healing! Right, miniBFFS?? In our story today, Jesus shows us that He loves everyone by taking care of the people who were not welcomed by others. He helps someone who is blind, someone who couldn’t walk, and someone who had horrible sickness that no one wanted to be around. Jesus not only wanted to be around them, He wanted to heal them. This story, Jesus Helps and Heals, comes from The Tiny Truths Illustrated Bible and can be found on page 152. You can also read more about this story from Matthew 9, Mark 2, and Luke 5 in the Bible. We have teamed up with Zonderkidz this season to learn all about the Gospels by reading stories from these three storybook Bibles: Jesus Storybook Bible , The Tiny Truths Illustrated Bible and I Wonder .

miniBFFs, we really love the story for this episode because we get to witness Jesus perform not one, but two, miracles. This is the story about a father who wanted his little girl to get better and about a woman who had been sick for a very long time and also wanted to get better. Spoiler alert - Jesus heals them both! But the way that these miracles happened is very different. This story, A Little Girl and a Poor Frail Lady, comes from the Jesus Storybook Bible and can be found on page 214. You can also read more about this story from Luke 8 in the Bible.

Did you know that Jesus cares for you so much that no matter what, He will never stop loving you? It’s true, miniBFFs! And that is a topic we are learning about in this episode with the story of the woman at the well. This woman felt a lot of shame and sadness about the things she had done and thought no one loved her. But Jesus was about to tell her how much He loved her and how He had come to save her. This story, The Woman at the Well, comes from the I Wonder Bible and can be found on page 132. You can also read more about this story from John 4:1-2 in the Bible.

So we know Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist from our episode last week. But what happened after that? Well, Jesus spent a lot of time in the desert of all places! That’s probably not where I would go right after being baptized, but it is where Jesus went and for a good reason. We also learn about Jesus calling his disciples and how important it was for Jesus to have close friends too. This story, Let’s Go, comes from the Jesus Storybook Bible and can be found on page 208. You can also read more about this story from Matthew 4, Mark 1, and Luke 4-6 in the Bible.

This episode today is all about John the Baptist. It is so important that we take time to learn about him because he is a very good example of wanting to tell everyone about Jesus. Even before John the Baptist had even met Jesus face to face, he knew that Jesus was someone that everyone needed to know about. This story, John the Baptist, comes from the I Wonder book and can be found on page 114.

Have you ever climbed a tree? Well, did you know that there is a story in the bible about someone climbing a tree. There is, miniBFFs. His name was Zacchaeus.

Getting hurt is zero fun. Am I right, miniBFFS? And the hard part about getting hurt is waiting for the boo boo to heal! But usually, it always does.

Have you ever had a garden before? If you have, you know how much work it takes to keep it alive and growing. Well Jesus tells us a story, or a parable, about a garden that lives in our hearts.
