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 well known as the fishermen story, but I think it […]
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. Also, it silences Owen who is our biggest distraction.
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 Jesus did before he started his ministry. What is the
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.

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 me with smiles as I re-read it a couple times.
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 will be able to go to the New Testament,
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 go through the history – Israel splitting into the northern
