Bedtime Bible Stories for Adults

Friends, I know I say this all the time, but I'm so excited about this episode! I have been planning it ever since The Healing Power of Jesus episodes, so for THREE years! Tonight we cover some of the amazing miracles of Jesus that don't involve healing, but involve provision, creation, and His authority over the entire world--even nature. Two of my favorites are when Jesus calms the storm and when He walks on water.
I've always struggled with fear, but the past couple of weeks have really tested me. And I'm trying to lean into these moments when Jesus asks His disciples, "Why were you afraid?" I want His peace... the one that can't be explained. I pray for that all the time.
The first miracle is when Jesus turns the water into wine at the wedding of Cana. We have heard this one before in the episode called The Arrival of the Messiah, but I had to include it here as well. After all, it was His first miracle! I hope you enjoy.

We are reading:
John 2:1-11 - Water to Wine
Luke 5:1-11 - The Catch of Fish
Mark 4:35-41 - Jesus Calms the Storm
Mark 6:30-44; John 6:8-9, 14-15 - Jesus Feeds the 5,000
Matthew 14:23-33 - Jesus Walks on Water
Mark 8:1-13 - Jesus Feeds the 4,000
Matthew 17:24-27 - The Coin in the Fish's Mouth
Mark 11:12-25 - The Fig Tree Withers (feat. Jesus Flipping Tables!)
John 21:1-14 - The Catch of 153 Fish

Tonight's episode is another combination of multiple episodes! It includes The Twins--Jacob and Esau, The Story of Jacob and Rachel, and Jacob Returns Home.
One of the things that stands out to me about Jacob is thathe lied to and betrayed his own brother and father, and then later is betrayed by his uncle. I've always wondered why God allowed someone involved in so much deception to become the father of the 12 tribes of Israel. Adding to my list of questions for Him in heaven!

We are reading Genesis 25, 26:34, and 27 through 33.

Tonight we finish up the book of Revelation! In the last three chapters of Revelation, John sees the final defeat of evil, the judgment of all things, and the creation of a new heaven and a new earth!
The darkness is gone, death is no more, and God dwells with His people. I got very emotional during this episode, mostly because of being sick for so long. And you will hear it. I did not correct it this time.
I long for the day when God will wipe every tear from our eyes! There will be no more mourning or crying or pain! None of our friends or family will suffer anymore. We won't suffer. We will have new glorious bodies. Thank God! I cannot wait for that day.

We are reading Revelation 20 through 22.

As we continue in Revelation chapters 17 through 19, John is shown the fall of Babylon, the triumph of heaven, and the best part... the victorious return of Jesus Christ! Here we see God's perfect justice and His faithfulness to fulfill His promises. Hallelujah! How I long for that day, as I know you all do as well.
I still find myself struggling with the fear of the end of time and the fear of death itself. But I remind myself that as a Christian, we do not have to be afraid. Even so, God understands that we are human. He is ready to give us His perfect peace that passes all human understanding. I pray for this.

We are reading Revelation 17 through 19. Only one part left after this one!

Well, according to the polls the majority of you felt ready to continue with Revelation! In Part 3, the focus shifts to the spiritual battle taking place behind the events of history. John sees visions of the woman, the dragon, the beasts, and the seven angels with their bowls.
This is where the mark of the beast is mentioned. We don't need to be afraid--we just need to make sure we follow the commands of God and have the faith of Jesus. Then we will have the seal of God. These chapters remind us that God's victory is certain.

We are reading Revelation 12 through 16.
