Ten Hut ~ May-July 2011
Learning lessons from the animals of the Bible
Lions and Donkeys and Ravens, oh my! The animals are the main characters of Zooplosion. Watch the Bible Stories through the eyes of the animals in the Bible and see how God always provides. Then we will see "what might have happened" and learn that things work out better when we follow God's plan.
The Great Sky Bridge Showdown ~ July-September 2011
Follow God's Plan!
Whether it's huge towers, strong walls or even gigantic boats, the Bible is full of incredible stories about construction projects. In this new series, The Great Skybridge Showdown, we will learn about some of those projects as we join Ike Ironsides and Caleb Cade on the job site. Each week we will be learning about such things as: how to follow God's plan for your life, how to obey God in all you do, why we should praise God instead of ourselves, and why we should never give up doing good. We will also learn to wisely use what God gives us, to be kind to others, that as Christians we are the church, and that we should have perseverance while serving God. So, put on your hard hat and tool belt and let's get ready to build a life that is pleasing to God!
Upside Down Town ~ September-November 2011
The Right Way To Live Is To Forgive!
Come with us to a very strange town, a place where people live their lives upside down. Now that doesn't mean the people there stand on their heads or that you'd climb to the ceiling to get into your bed. It's the wrong choices they make that we call "upside down." And some of their choices are the strangest around! Some of the people choose not to forgive. Others give up quickly and that's no way to live. There's a woman who gives warnings and tries to be nice, but she neglects to follow her own advice. There's a man named Jack who refuses to go back. There's a worrisome man with panic attacks. There's a friend who hears advice both good and bad. That story ends up with an entire town mad! There's a tale of a couple who refuse to help others. But that's not all the stories, I can think of one other. There's a man with the coolest device anywhere! But though he has many, he refuses to share. Yes there are many lessons that teach and confound. And we'll learn from the Bible many truths quite profound. When we don't live as God wants, we live life upside down. So travel with us, my friend, to Upsidedown Town!
Entourage ~ November-December 2011
How to be the right kind of friend!
