For an upcoming beach mission, I am currently preparing 6 kids talks. They’re going to be on CRAZY Bible stories, I think it’s going to be pretty fun. I’ll be writing some reflections on this blog as I write the talks, so here is a brief outline of the talks.
CRAZY!
Talk 1 – Writing on the Wall (Daniel 5)
Introducing the series and speaking about how God speaks to us today through the Bible, after first telling the story.
Talk 2 – Babel (Genesis 11:1-9)
Saying that even though God has told us how to live through his word, we rebel against him and we deserve punishment for this.
Talk 3 – Jesus Calms the Storm (Mark 4:35-41)
Jesus is God, and he has power over creation. He is incredibly powerful. We shouldn’t doubt him.
Talk 4 – Daniel and the Lions Den (Daniel 6)
God saves Daniel in this story from the lions. God saves us from the punishment we deserve through Jesus’ death on the cross.
Talk 5 – Jesus’ Resurrection (Matthew 28:1-8)
Jesus is alive today and he is the boss of the world!
Talk 6 – Saul to Paul (Acts 9:1-22)
Saul becomes and Christian and follows Jesus. Learning about how to live a new life for Christ.
The Bible has some crazy stuff in it. But there is nothing crazier then what God has done for us. This talk series will use the crazy stuff as a base to introducing the even crazier stuff!

Definitely looking forward to these – great stuff!
Thanks!
Why don’t you tell them the story in Judges 19.
Where an Israelite man lets his concubine get raped to death.
Then God helps him get revenge on the rapists.
After he Kills most of the rapists (the Benjamites) he feels sorry for the rest of them.
He goes to the next village and kidnaps a bunch of woman, as a present for the Benjamites.
I can’t believe this s*** is in the bible!!!

There are some pretty crazy stories in the Bible. It’s just one of the many reasons why I trust it so much, if I was writing a book about a religion, I would not include some of these stories for fear of freaking people out.
