Hi. I’m Jeff. And I’d like to tell you a Bible story…

Bible stories have an incredible way of helping us understand how God moves in people’s lives, has a relationship with them, and loves and guides them.

Each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I’ll be posting a new Bible story to the A Bible Story… YouTube channel.

Come back here for follow-up questions for each video. There are questions for kids (Mom! Dad! watch the video with your kids and talk with them about it!), teens and adults (watch the video and consider what God may be showing you).

Produced and designed by Mike Yeager at BrandDyno!
