Hey-O Kids Curriculum’s primary goal with the Stories of the Bible is to tell the stories from God’s word accurately and in a way that is engaging to children of all ages.

This is Jesus who is the Son of God and the Savior of the world. While Jesus was on earth, He healed many people from their sickness and did many miracles like walking on water. 

Jesus was sitting at the Mount of Olives with his disciples and teaching them about the kingdom of God. Jesus told his disciples a story. He told them that the kingdom of heaven would be like man going on a trip, who asked three servants to take care of his money. The man gave each of his servants different amounts of money according to their ability. To one of his servants, he gave five bags of money, he gave another two bags, and he gave the third servant one bag of money. Then he went on his trip. 

The man who had been given five bags of money invested the money and gained five more bags. The servant with two bags of money did the same and got two more bags of money. 

But the man who had one bag of money put it in a hole and hid the money. After a long time, the man came back from his trip and checked in with his servants to see what they had done with his money. The servant who was given five bags of money showed that he had gained five more. And the man said, “Well done, good and faithful servant! You did well with small things. So I will let you care for much greater things.”

Then the servant with two bags of money showed that he had gained two more. And the man was happy and said well done to the servant. 

Then the servant who hid the money showed the man the one bag of money and said that he had hidden it because he was afraid. The man said, “You wicked, lazy servant!” He said that he should have at least put the money in the bank to get interest. Then he threw out the servant so he would serve him no more. And the man took the money from the servant and gave it to the servant with ten bags. For he said, “Everyone who uses what he has will get more. He will have much more than he needs. But the one who does not use what he has will have everything taken away from him.”
