Samuel thought that surely the Lord would pick one of them, as they were strong and fine in appearance.
Samuel was told to anoint the youngest son, who was a shepherd boy; this boy was called David. When the war between the Israelites and Philistines took place, a giant named Goliath would shout out a challenge, each day, to any Israeli who would defeat him in battle.
Nobody was brave enough to face him. When David heard him challenge the armies of God, he told King Saul that he would fight the giant. King Saul was worried, as David was not a warrior, but he put his own royal armour on David and gave him his blessing. David asked that the armour is removed, as he was not used to it. He chose, instead, to face the giant, dressed as a simple shepherd boy; his slingshot his only weapon. As the giant came towards him, David slung a stone in his slingshot and shot the giant.
The Philistines tried to flee when their hero died, but the Israeli army cut them off and defeated them. He does not need His people dressed in fancy armour to help them defeat their enemies. More commonly known as Queen Esther, Hadassah was a bright young Jewish woman chosen by God to save His people from destruction. When King Xerxes ruled the Persian Empire, he found himself looking for a wife. All the young maidens in the kingdom were taken to the palace and given beauty treatments for a year, after which they were sent before the king, for him to pick his wife.
When Hadassah was taken, her cousin, Mordecai, told her not to let anyone know she was Jewish, as they were hated and mistrusted among the people, so she called herself Esther. The king was charmed by Esther, and he picked her to be his queen. During her time as queen, an evil man named Haman convinced the king that all the Jews in the kingdom needed to be killed.
When Mordecai found out about the plan, he sent word to Esther and told her that she needed to speak to the king. Esther was afraid, as it was forbidden to go before the king without being summoned. Only if the king was pleased and held out his sceptre, was the person accepted into his presence.
If he did not, they were to be put to death. Mordecai told Esther that she had to try to speak to the king, regardless, because God had put her in a high position, so that she would be able to save her people.
Queen Esther commanded all the Jews, including herself, to fast for three days, at the end of which, she went before the king. The king was so pleased with his wife that he gladly held out the sceptre to her.
She told him everything and Haman was put to death. The Jewish people were given permission to defend themselves, if anyone tried to attack them. In this way, Esther saved her people. God raises people into certain positions because He has a plan for them and will use them to help more of His people. Elizabeth, sister of Mary, was old when she became pregnant with John. John grew up to be a bit of a wild man, who lived in the desert and preached the message of God, foretelling the coming of Jesus the Messiah.
He spent a lot of time baptizing people in the river and teaching them to repent. There was a virgin named Mary who lived in the town of Nazareth, a town in Galilee. She loved God dearly. She was to marry a man named Joseph. God sent the angel, Gabriel to tell her that she had found favour with God and that He would cause her to become pregnant while she was still a virgin.
She accepted this, and so she became pregnant. Gabriel also visited Joseph and told him what God desired, so that he would not think Mary had been unfaithful. In the days when Jesus was to be born, Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the Roman Empire ,to make sure they paid their taxes.
He ordered everyone to return to their hometowns, and enter their names in a register or census there. Joseph had to travel to Bethlehem with Mary, who was pregnant, as he was a descendant of King David. Once they reached Bethlehem, there were no rooms or lodges available.
As there were no rooms, Mary and Joseph had no choice, but to seek shelter in a manger of an inn, and there Mary had the baby, Jesus. It had been prophesied that the Saviour would be born in Bethlehem and would be born of a virgin, so Jesus fulfilled the prophecies made about Him.
When Nicodemus told Jesus that he believed that Jesus had come from God because of the signs and wonders, Jesus told him that nobody would see the kingdom of God until they were born again. Confused, Nicodemus asked how a grown man can be born again, and Jesus explained that a person needs to be born again of water and in the Spirit of God, in order to be able to see the kingdom of God.
Jesus and His disciples were travelling in a boat one night, and Jesus fell asleep after a tiring day of preaching to the people. Without any warning, a harsh storm came upon them, and they were terrified that they would drown.
Out of fear they woke Jesus and asked Him to save them. Jesus then turned to the storm and rebuked t it. The wind and the waves were completely calm, once again.

The story of Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem on the Sunday preceding Holy Week is known as Palm Sunday and is celebrated throughout the world by Christians today! The parable of the prodigal son is one of the greatest love stories ever told - a story filled with mercy and grace. Jesus spoke the Parable of the Sower to teach how important the state of our heart is to receive the Gospel and how our salvation is proved by our choices and actions after hearing the Gospel. The Parable of the Talents should encourage us and challenge us to take what God has given us and invest in the kingdom of God.
