A Lesson In Joy

At Awana we recently learned a little lesson in Joy with help from some of our friends (and a muppet with a song)...

A Poky Present

In this week's episode, James receives a great gift from Pickles the Porcupine... himself! Pickles shares Jesus in his own life with James showing him love in the process!

A Forest, A Flock, And A Prophet

Today, our host (me!) takes us through a reenactment of the time Elijah stood up to King Ahab and Queen Jezebel and was willing to deliver God's message. We learned that a prophet is willing to deliver God's message whether it's good or bad news. Also we learned from James chapter 5 that Elijah was a regular guy just like you and me, but he prayed in faith and it didn't rain for 3 and 1/2 years! That means that the power comes from God and not us, it also means that God can answer our prayers too!

Trust and a Nintendo

Trust and Nintendo

Today the kids learn that God doesn't always answer prayers the way you think that he will but he is always trustworthy...

President O'Beara Comes To Town

Today the forest friends learn that not only is it a blessing to serve others, but sometimes its good to let others serve you, even when you don't deserve it.

Inside the Cabin

Just for anyone who has ever wanted to know what it looks like inside the cabin, Chippy the Chipmunk gives us a tour of what it looks like inside!

So come on in and stay awhile

The Parable of the Super Bowl Party

Luke 14:15-24 tells the parable of the banquet. A lot of people were invited but many were thought that they were too good to accept the invitation. And so it went out to everyone. Its the same way with us and God's invitation to salvation. Some people think that they are good enough to get to heaven. So good that they don't need to accept Jesus Christ as their savior, as their invitation to heaven. And so only the poor and needy, only the people who realize that they need Jesus really get to go.

Even though Slither wasn't as cool as Rocky, he is the one who gets to go to the party. That's one lucky snake.

Prodigal Chloe

This week we have another special guest... Susie! And it's a good thing because the forest friends needed a little bit of a reminder of the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15. God loves it when those who were lost are found. He never makes them come home, but he always welcomes them with a big party when they are willing to come. No matter how far away you've gone, the Father is watching for you and ready to forgive you. He loves you that much!

A Graceful Camel

Cammy the Camel certainly learned the lesson of being thankful for God's grace from the story of the 10 lepers in the Bible. And the rest of us learned that Firedog might have fleas.

Who Is The Star?

In Numbers 22 we find the story of Balaam and the talking donkey. In this episode the kids decide to make a movie about this story. They just can't decide who the main character is...

Extreme Prayer

The last video in our series on prayer gets a little extreme...

In the lesson we learned the story from Daniel 10. God gave Daniel a vision that really bothered him and confused him. So he started to pray about it. He prayed and fasted for 3 whole weeks and finally an angel showed up saying that God had sent him from the moment that Daniel first started praying (3 weeks earlier) but he had been fighting with "the prince of persia" the entire time and had only now escaped to deliver the message. When we pray in extreme ways, God answers in extreme ways, sometimes in ways we least expect...

Confessions of a Candy Thief

It is tim the Crocodile's birthday but somebody stole his candy! We learn that confession must be made for forgiveness. And we learn that we need to forgive others just like Jesus Christ forgave us.

Written by and starring Chloe and Eli

What the kids in Ecuador Pray About

Some of the kids in Misahualli Ecuador are praying and this is what they pray about!

Children of God

When Jesus prayed, he called God "Father." And then he says that we can too!

The Palisades Prayer Club Prayer Warriors meeting is in session. Today they discuss why they pray.

And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask anything in my name I will do it.
John 14:13, 14

Ecuador kids wanna know...

The kids in Ecuador ask everyone a question...

Where we think heaven is

The kids in Ecuador describe what they think heaven will be like. We know that since God is spiritual that Heaven is a spiritual place. Not the same as physical places like Mars, Canada, Outer Space, or even Disneyland. But one day there will be a new heaven and a new earth where we will have our physical bodies made perfect again.
I John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

Where in the world is heaven

Firedog asks the kids in Ecuador where Heaven is. Eli the Eagle helps out but they're going to need your help even more.

Who are you talking to?

Eli, talks to the King of Kings! Whenever he wants!

The kids in Ecuador answer the question

Junior, Anthony, Nicolas, and Inti in Misahualli, Ecuador share there guess to the question, "who made God?"
