A NEW Bible Story Every Week:
The Calling of Matthew
Check back here every week for your Bible story.
When I read or tell stories from the Bible to my kids, I sometimes read them like factual pieces of history. Not that these stories are not true, but I often forget to "read between the lines" to paint a dynamic picture of REAL people and REAL events. I need to help my kids to "see" and "hear" the truths of God's living word.
Here's one thing you and I can do, let them listen to audio Bible stories such as this one below. Over 10 years ago, we chanced upon audio stories as a great source of entertainment for our kids. These stories really helped them to develop "audio intelligence." In an age of visual technology (TV, computer, IPOD) it's good to develop an audio habit as well. Afterall, you can do SO many activities while listening to all kinds of stuff! Double action. Double benefit.
Here's this week's story:
The Calling of Matthew. This is an excellent version of how Matthew the tax collector became one of Jesus' disciples.
Stay tuned more stories coming later.
