Bedtime Bible Stories for Adults

I finally finished remastering all the Joseph episodes. This includes removing some background noise and slowing it down just a little. I had to laugh because this is such a long episode! One of my favorite stories from the Bible--such a great comeback story. God always has a plan and is always working behind the scenes. Even when times seem dark, we won't need to be afraid. His rod and his staff will comfort us.
He doesn't give us the spirit of fear. He gives us power, love, and self-control! He longs for you to have peace. It's something I struggle with daily, but over and over again I have to put my trust in Him. The more you do it, the more natural it will become.

We are reading Genesis 37 through 50 and Exodus 1:6-7.

Part 2 of Hebrews (chapters 8 through 13), shifts from explaining who Jesus is to showing what His work means for us. These chapters highlight the new covenant. Jesus is our perfect High Priest who opened a better way to approach God, through His once-for-all sacrifice. And God's law is now written on our hearts and in our minds.
Chapter 11 is commonly known as "the faith chapter." This one hit me hard. It starts off well but then gets difficult to read. So many before us risked their lives and suffered in order to further the gospel and the message of the love of Christ.
The book ends with practical encouragement: hold fast, run with perseverance, and fix your eyes on Jesus.

We are reading Hebrews 8 through 13.

We don't know for sure who wrote the books of Hebrews. Some suggestions include Paul, Barnabas, or Luke. Hebrews is a powerful encouragement to believers who were feeling tired and pressured in their faith. Its central message is simple but profound: Jesus is greater. Greater than angels, Moses, the priesthood, and the old covenant. Because of Him, we now have direct access to God and a better hope.
The books calls us to hold fast, draw near to God, and keep going, even when faith feels difficult. Jesus is our high priest, and the perfect high priest, because he can sympathize with our every weakness. How amazing is that? We can go to Him with everything and He understands us. Thank God.

We are reading Hebrews 1 through 7. Part 2 will include 8 through 13.

**Warning for this episode: self-harm**
I hope you enjoy the FULL episode of the story of the prophet Elijah. Israel was in a dark time. The king, Ahab, had married a foreign princess named Jezebel, and together they led the nation away from the Lord. The people began worshiping Baal—a false god.
Enter Elijah. God provides food for him during a famine, heraises a dead child to life, takes part in a showdown with the worshipers of Baal on Mount Carmel, and confronts king Ahab. Even with all these triumphs, he also has a moment of weakness and doubt—something we can all relate to. But hisstory reminds us that even when an entire nation turns away, God is able to work through one faithful person to call people back to the truth.

We are reading 1 Kings 17, 18, 19 and 21, and 2 Kings 1 and2.

Tonight's episode comes after the episode called The First King of Israel. Saul is king, and he and his son Jonathan are in a constant war with the Philistines. Here we learn that obedience is far better than sacrifice. Saul's disobedience to God eventually costs him and his lineage the kingdom.

We are reading 1 Samuel 13 through 15 (NIV).
