What happens after Jesus’ resurrection? In this episode of Truth Seekers: Bible Stories for Kids, we travel to the Sea of Galilee for the unforgettable story of Jesus restoring Peter in John 21:1–19.After fishing all night and catching nothing, Peter and the disciples see a mysterious man standing on the shore. When He tells them to cast their net on the other side of the boat, suddenly their net is overflowing with fish. John immediately realizes, “It is the Lord!” Peter jumps into the water and rushes toward Jesus, who is waiting for His disciples on the shore with breakfast and a fire of burning coals.But this breakfast is about much more than fish. Beside the fire, Jesus asks Peter three times, “Do you love me?” Peter had denied Jesus three times before the crucifixion, but his failure would not be the end of his story. Jesus restores Peter, gives him a new purpose, and once again calls him to “Follow me!”This Bible story for kids is a beautiful picture of the grace, forgiveness, and second chances we receive through Jesus. Children will learn that when we sin or fail, we do not have to run away from God.

Jesus knew we would have troubles in this life. He knew we would not always be celebrated for following Him. There are many followers of Jesus who have given their lives to follow Jesus. May we have courage and strength to stand for Him, even when others don't.

Do you know what it means to be a peacemaker? Jesus calls us to be bearers of peace, and we can only do that as we carry His peace within us.

In this episode, we learn what it means to be pure in heart.

In this episode, we learn what it means to be merciful as we follow Jesus and influence others for Him.

To hunger and thirst after righteousness is to hunger and thirst after Jesus. David said in the Psalms, "As the deer pants for the waters, so my soul longs for Thee." To be hungry is to be in want or need. Does your heart long for Jesus? Do you desire Him above all else? In this episode, we learn what it means to hunger and thirst after Jesus, our righteousness.

When Jesus said, "Blessed are the meek," He was honoring those who are not quick to pride or anger. Following Jesus requires humility, but not weakness. It takes strength to remain humble under pressure.

Jesus said, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." What a wonderful promise. Influencers of Jesus do not celebrate in the sin of this world, but rather, they mourn over those who have lost their way and pray for those who don't know Jesus to come to know Him as their Lord and Savior.

In this summer series episode we learn what it means to be poor in Spirit as we follow Jesus and influence others for Him.

Welcome to our first episode for our summer series on the Beatitudes!

Hey Truth Seekers! We are bringing back the summer series on the Beatitudes! Join us beginning July 1st to learn what it looks like to be influencers for Jesus!

Our own righteousness is as filthy rags, but Jesus' work on the cross gives us access to His righteousness that makes us right with God.Truth Seekers is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.
