All in Hard Times
Jesus went through the hardest of times in his time here on earth, and he did it all for us!
Tune in to this episode for a wonderful reminder of all the hard things Jesus experienced, and find out about what prophecy Isaiah predicted and how it was all fulfilled in Jesus!
The not talked about much in Christian children's groups is the topic of the end times, and especially not The Great Tribulation.
This series covers all kinds of hard times, including the ones that we are to expect in the end times. Tune in to find out all about these prophecies!
Perseverance is something Nehemiah showed when he led the Israelites to rebuild Jerusalem's wall, even though they were being threatened the entire time. But when God wants a job done, he will give you everything you need to get it done!
Life might seem like it is all going well, but then everything you know and love comes crashing down. Take inspiration from Job, who lost everything but continued to put his faith in God.
David was an incredibly faithful man but he wasn't without suffering. The story of his 7 year hide and seek game with Saul did not stop David from being faithful. How can we remain faithful even in suffering? Tune in to ponder this question further!
Hard times can often include loss. How do we get through the passing of a loved one? Cry out to God and he hears us. Naomi lost her sons and her husband and yet God continued to look after her!
Trusting God through hard times can be hard, but what if you knew about his capabilities? Find out about what God is able to do through the story of how he brought the Israelites back to the Promised Land, and try to remember that next time you are going through hard times and are struggling to trust God.
It might sound crazy but God wants us to endure suffering because it means we will develop character. Joseph endured a lot of suffering from the actions of his brothers, but God was with him. God is with us in our suffering too!
It is likely that you know people who are sick, someone who has passed away, or maybe people who are struggling with lockdown or lack of contact with others. Covid has brought on hard times lately and the Bible has so much wisdom on the topic, and so it is only fitting that The Word On The Street focuses on this topic this term.
Tune into this episode as Anna introduces the concept of hard times and tells about Sarah's hard experiences of leaving her family only to be barren for about 840 months!
