OLD TESTAMENT STORIES

Joshua and the Crumbling, Tumbling Walls of Jericho - A Bible story from Joshua 1-6. God gives Joshua a most peculiar plan for defeating Jericho. Seven days later and there was nobody doubting God's plan.

NEW! Ruth - Seed of Love and Harvest of Blessing - A Bible story from the Book of Ruth. Ruth put her faith in God and began sowing seeds of love and harvested an abundance of blessings for both her, Naomi and eventually all of Israel.

David and Goliath & Some Giant-slaying Faith - A Bible story from 1 Samuel. A young shepherd boy faces a 10-foot tall warrior and proves to his countrymen that God was still willing to fight on the side of those that put their complete trust in Him.

Jumpin' Jehoshaphat - Praise Works! - A Bible story from 2 Chronicles 20:1-30. When 3 armies invade Judah, King Jehoshaphat knew that God would protect his country. He marched the army out to face the enemy led by a choir singing praises to God. But there would be no battle that day. God had already given them the victory!

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego & The Fiery Furnace - A Bible story from Daniel 3:1-30. Three young men refuse to sin, and by doing so, defy the most powerful ruler in the world, a crime worthy of a fiery death. When they put their trust in God, there is nothing to fear.

NEW TESTAMENT STORIES

The Birth of John the Baptist - This story is based on the angel Gabriel's announcement to Zacharias of the birth of his son John. Even though Zacharias was a righteous man, he still had some doubt concerning what Gabriel had said. God in His mercy gave him a gentle reminder that every Word from God can always be trusted.

Mary, Gabriel & the Birth of Jesus - This story is based on the angel Gabriel's announcement to Mary of the birth of God's son, Jesus. Mary, a simple virgin from Nazareth, had enough faith to trust God's Word and be the mother to the world's Savior.

The Centurion & Faith That Impresses God - This story is based on Jesus healing the Centurion's servant found in the book of Matthew & Luke in your Bible. The Centurion, a Roman officer and Gentile, demonstrates simple, yet powerful faith in God's Word. God doesn't want a bunch of religious nonsense, just people who will simply trust Him and His Word with all their heart. That's the kind of faith that impresses God!

The Prodigal Son - This parable is found in Luke and perfectly illustrates God's incredible capacity to love and forgive. If you haven't read this parable lately, read it again and meditate on all the truths so brilliantly portrayed.

Simon's Net-breaking, Boat-sinking Catch of Fish - This story is based on Simon's abundant catch of fish found in Luke in your Bible. Simon had fished all night with no success. He needed some fish. Jesus needed a place to preach. When Simon let Jesus use his boat, it opened the door for Jesus to meet his need with a net-breaking, boat-sinking load of fish.

Palm Sunday Parade - This Bible story is based on Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey. Found in all 4 Gospels in your Bible, we celebrate Palm Sunday to remind us that Jesus has come and is now with us for all eternity.

-- Reader Comments About Matney Woodard Stories --

Heaven's Art Gallery - A Christian short story about transforming life into a masterpiece worthy of display in Heaven's Art Gallery.

"My wonderful senior friends were awed and silent! No one spoke for a few moments and I was almost moved to tears reading it ("Heaven's Art Gallery") again. I looked and they too were misty-eyed. It is a powerful and moving story and moves us to such personal questioning of where we are in our journey with our Lord.

Finally they all agreed, it was a powerful message."
Joan Gibertini
First Presbyterian Church, Pasadena, Texas

"I wish to express how the short story of "Heaven's Art Gallery" has touched many hearts from Lighthouse Christian Center, a school with about 50 students and homeschoolers. One of the students, my son, Joel Andrus a senior, used this story at a chapel service. I don't think there was a dry eye anywhere.

Thank you, for I believe it touched my son's life and others in such a positive way for now and eternity."
Glenda Andrus
Lighthouse Christian Center, MiIlford, Delaware
