Episode 203: From Pages High - Almost Honest: Sydney's story

GiGi Teen Bible Talk

Turning, she almost dropped the platter when she saw that one of the visitors had followed her to the kitchen and was standing in the doorway watching her. Sydney wondered if he wanted to steal her watch; it was a valuable piece. Mustering up her most practised kind smile, she put her hand to her chest and spoke, “Oh , you scared me! How can I help you?” She kept her smile in place, waiting for him to answer. For a second she didn’t think he would, and felt her lips begin to shake. How long was she supposed to keep smiling? But when he finally spoke, she felt the blood drain from her...

His mother and sister led worship, his father was an elder, his older brother was the youth activity coordinator and his uncle was one of the treasurers.

Radio Episode 194: Midnight Faith: Nicodemus' secret visit

GiGi Teen Bible Talk

Finally, he reached the place where Jesus was staying. A soft light flickered inside — maybe from a small oil lamp. Nicodemus hesitated, then knocked lightly. Jesus looked up as the door opened. His eyes, calm and kind, met Nicodemus’s. It was as if He already knew why he had come. “Rabbi,” Nicodemus began, his voice trembling slightly, “we know that you are a teacher who has come from God.

Jezebel folded the scroll, placed his seal over it, and rang the gong. Elana watched in fascination as a soldier entered from the side door and bowed.
Jezebel stretched her arm with the scroll. “Take this to the elders and nobles who live in Naboth’s city, and tell them I command they do as this says.”
The man took the scroll, bowed, and left the room.
Jezebel rubbed her hands together. A satisfied look registered on her face, her amber eyes slanted and malicious.
Ahab reached for her hand and pulled her with force onto his lap. “What did you write?”
She placed her hand around his neck and leaned her embellished head onto his. “I have proclaimed a day of fasting and have requested they seat Naboth in a prominent place amongst the people so—”
“Prominent?”
She placed her index finger on his lips. “Shh. Once he is seated, two vagabonds will accuse him in front of everyone that he has cursed both God and the king.” An ominous smile crept over her red lips. “The town will be horrified to know Naboth has turned against you, and they will stone him to death—when that happens, you are to take possession of your vineyard!”
Ahab stared at his wife with his mouth agape. He blinked a few times......
