Now that Jesus has passed the test to be our righteousness, he goes and gathers his disciples.   There are different accounts of Jesus calling his first disciples in the Gospels, and in our Children’s worship, we read and learned John’s account.  It isn’t as…

Our daily Bible time in the living room has moved to our dining table for a couple days.  Now we read the Bible while enjoying dessert, and it has been better for the boys to concentrate since they have something to do with their bodies. …

Our family was joking that even though this Bible reading plan is to follow Jesus, we haven’t seen Jesus do anything but be born.  But we will read Jesus do something today! Before we read our passage, I asked the boys if they remember what…

Day 11 - Matthew 3:1-16 Baptism of Jesus(Short version - Matthew 3:4-6 & 13-17) We finally have Jesus in action!  The passage starts by explaining John the Baptist’s ministry.  What was the importance of baptism?  How does it prepare for Jesus’s ministry?  Why did Jesus…

We started by remembering the birth of Jesus, and also remembered the shepherds were the first people that were called by the angels to worship Jesus.   Now we read another Christmas story of the Magi. We had a lot of fun learning about this…

Finally Jesus’s birth! It is day 9 in our 40 day journey, and finally we get to meet Jesus in person!  This is the Christmas story, and because we have been waiting for so long, I feel like we have actually gone through the Advent…

It seems like we are in the Christmas season.  There has been quite a bit of snow coming even in March, and plenty of white on the ground to remind you that winter is still present.  We are now reading Christmas stories.  We come to…

We are finally in the New Testament!  We now come to the book of John in the Gospels, and we read our passage for today.  The passage started out very confusing for the boys.  I read verse 1 - Whuuuuht?? Evan and Ian looked at…

I start our time by saying we are going back to Isaiah to read more prophecies of Jesus.  We look at the Bible, and we are almost exactly at the half point of the Bible.  We have come a long way! The boys ask when…

We had a day of rest yesterday, and we got back into our Bible reading time.  The boys were eager to come together, and it was a really blessed time. They remembered we last talked about Jesus’s names (wonderful counselor, etc.), and this time, I…

Day 5 - Jeremiah 31:31-40  Restoration of Israel (Short version - Jeremiah 31:31-34) Only the kingdom of Judah remains, but the kings of Judah continue to reject and disobey God.  However, we get another message from God through the prophet Jeremiah, and it is of hope! …

Going into Isaiah 9, I didn’t do a lot of background history as I have done before.  We were all a bit distracted going into reading, trying to get it over with after a long day.  We read the passage.  I felt like most of…

As usual to start our time together I ask if the boys remember what we read yesterday.  They search hard in their brains and remember Israelites coming out of Egypt.  I ask who lead them out, and they finally remember Moses.  Since their memory of…

It is our second day, and the boys remembered Bible reading time!  I ask them if they remember what we read yesterday, and they remember correctly the story of the serpent and Jesus coming to defeat it. Good memory!  To move to the next Bible…
