Sunday School Bible Stories
Sunday School Bible Stories – Fun Craft Idea for Children
Sunday School Bible stories can teach children so much about how to live a life that honors God. Throughout the Bible stories were recorded starting in 
Genesis and going all the way to Revelation. They teach so many things: How God cares and loves us, what happens when we don’t follow his laws, who Jesus was. The list goes on.
We need to pass these stories and their meaning down to our children. At Memory Cross we believe that God’s Word changes lives. Proverbs 22:6 says “Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.” We’ve created a very unique card that is designed to never stop folding which captures the attention of children, and adults.
We’ve illustrated them with Sunday School Bible stories. Stories of creation, Moses, Jonah, the passover, Jesus, Peter, Paul and the parables. Each tell a powerful story from the Bible and are designed to keep kid’s attention. You will be amazed at how well children learn Bible stories using the Memory Cross card. Each card contains four panels which allows the stories to be broken up into four parts. The video below shows how the card works and why it is such a good tool for teaching children Sunday School Bible stories.
Here are a few comments that we have received:
- “I don’t usually use these words but this is the most amazing thing I’ve seen. Phenomenal, unbelievable, astounding. The kids at my church went crazy over these cards. Thanks!!!!” – April Drew
- “Memory Cross is a wonderful tool for teaching the Bible.” – Julie Judd
- “I received the free crosses in the mail – absolutely the coolest thing! What a way to catch someone’s attention and while they are studying how it’s made – the Holy Spirit is quietly working on them! What a wonderful tool! Thumbs up to the creator of the Memory Cross!” – Sandra Voskon
- “I absolutely love these products. There are easy to use and engaging. Not only do they help you learn a Biblical message, but little ones that find it hard to keep still will have something to do that is not too distracting to others around them.” – Corine Hymen
We’d like to send you a free sample pack so you can see why we think they are one of the best ways to teach children Sunday School Bible stories. If you would like to receive a pack fill in the form to the left and we’ll send you out a pack right away.
Besides cards for Sunday School Bible stories we also make Gospel Tracts for children and adults. Several are designed so children can color the cards. They can be used on mission trips as well as VBS or Sunday School. One tract is based on the Wordless book. It does have words so someone can understand the meaning without an explanation. This tract is designed so children can decorate and color the card.

God Created The World
God Created the Word – Let us Rejoice and Be Glad
Psalm 19:1 says “The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship.” The world God has given us is truly amazing, beautiful, complex,
full of mysteries we have yet to discover. I’m sitting out back early in the morning surrounded by nature, watching the sun rise, birds sing, feeling the cool air across my skin and looking at the amazing world that God has created and was reminded of the verse in Psalms.
It is a beautiful Sunday morning so I decided to have my devotional outside. The Bible says be still and know that I am God. We have an opportunity each day to celebrate God, to thank Him for the life He has given us. Philippians 4:4 says “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!”
God created the world: Psalm 118: 24 says “This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” God has created the world and this day. I’ll rejoice because no matter what happens today he promises to never leave us or forsake us. It is easy to become overwhelmed by all the troubles going on in our lives, but God reminds us not to worry about it, but pray. Yes we’ll face plenty of trouble in this life. Jesus said it would be so, but he also says to rejoice, pray and don’t worry. We have a choice today, allow our problems to overwhelm us or be still and know that he is God.
God created the world – beautiful and diverse.
A quick search on Google and I found that scientists have found over 250,000 different types of plants on the earth and 800 different types of animal life and there are more that have not yet been discovered. There are over 7 billion people no two which are alike. You are uniquely created by God.
God has created an amazing world and he wants us to enjoy His creation. He does not want us to go through life full of worry and fear. In Philippians it says “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”
God created the world. Enjoy your day. I hope the video by Louie Giglio will help you to understand just how amazing the God we worship is. If you would like to know more about a relationship with the God who made the world visit NeedHim.org or call 888-NEED-HIM.

Jesus Calms the Storm Craft Idea
Jesus Calms The Storm – A Creative Craft Idea for Kids

Cross has created a very unique craft card with four panels. You fold the card from one panel to the next and as you do it comes back to the first panel. The design is so different from anything else that it fascinates children, and adults. It is addictive so children will fold the card over and over again, which means they’ll learn the story about Jesus calming the storm. We’ve put a video at the bottom of this page that you’ll want to check out.

What does the story of Jesus calming the storm mean and why is it included in all four Gospels? What lessons do you plan to teach children from this story? I realize there are going to be multiple answers to these questions. For me this story says that Jesus will always be with us helping us through the storms of life. He does not promise to remove all the storms we face in life. He says in this life you will face many troubles but cheer up for I have overcome the world.
Here is some information I received from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
Typical community in America 100 neighbors
- 7 struggle with depression
- 14 feel crippled by fear and anxiety
- 7 addicted to drugs or alcohol
- 3 grieving the death of a loved one
- 8 struggling with loss of a job
- 60 don’t profess to know Jesus personally
It is clear to me from this study that everyone is dealing with storms in their life and if they are not, one is on its way. The story of Jesus calming the storm tells me that we can turn to Jesus for everything and he promises to be with and confort us. Not that the storms will all be taken away but that He will guide us through the storms. If you look at the list you’ll discover that following God and living a life that pleases Him will take away many of the struggles.
If you are reading this and are in the midst of a storm I pray that God’s peace will cover you. Philippians 4: 6-7 says: “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” – NLT

Google+Noah’s Ark
Noah’s Ark – A Creative Craft Idea
If you are teaching children about Noah’s Ark here is a creative craft idea that they are sure to love. Memory Cross has created a very unique card that teaches the Noah’s Ark story. The card consists of four panels that fold back on each other to create a never ending loop. It is hard to describe but easy to demonstrate so take a second and watch the video.
You’ll find children love this card. The design is different from anything they have seen before which captures their attention. The interactive nature of the card just begs to be fold over and over again, and as your children fold it they’ll learn the story of Noah’s Ark. Designed primarily for elementary age children, they’ll have fun decorating the Noah’s Ark craft card.
Here is what a few people have said:
- “I don’t usually use these words but this is the most amazing thing I’ve seen. Phenomenal, unbelievable, astounding. The kids at my church went crazy over these cards. Thanks!!!!” – April Drew
- “Memory Cross is a wonderful tool for teaching the Bible. I was looking for new and innovative ways of bringing the Gospel to children.” – Julie Judd
- “I got a sample pack in the mail to see how effective they would be with my kids, and My kids Loved Them!!! I’m definitely planning on using them in our children’s ministry program at our church!!!” - Kassandra Tovar
- “These Memory Crosses are so neat – from young child to adult, everyone is amazed by them. Our church used the Easter crosses that kids can color for a gift for the kids. Everyone loved them. One hint: you do need to tell the kids to not be rough with them.” – Angie Curry
Angie’s tip is a good one. We recommend that you fold through each card one time. That will help loosen it up and make sure that children are not confused about how it works. If you are working with a large group of kids then we recommend that you show them how it folds. While kids generally figure it out much better than their parents, most children and adults have never seen anything like this before so they have to figure out how it folds the first time. Once they do it one time most will become addicted.
We’re betting that you will also that’s why we want to send you a sample of this card so you can evaluate it for yourself. If you live in the United States we’ll even pay for the postage. Once you get one in your hand you’ll know why we think this is one of the most creative ways to teach children the story of Noah’s Ark. If you would like more information about the Noah’s Ark coloring card, visit our website.

Fear of Failure
Fear of Failure – What Peter Teaches us About Rebounding
This morning I’ve been reading from Rick Warren’s book: God’s Answers to Life’s Difficult Questions. Chapter 2 is titled How can I rebound from failure? 
Personally Rick’s message was on target for my life because despite lots of hard work and a desire to follow God I’ve experienced a lot of failures in my life. Rick says we all make mistakes, and sometimes they are pretty bad, but don’t let fear of failure stop you. It can become a stepping-stone to success.
Peter had been out fishing all night but did not catch anything. He was a professional fisherman who’s income depended on his ability to catch fish so this was not a good night. As Peter was washing his nets the next morning, probably feeling very discouraged Jesus came along and asked to use Peter’s boat to talk to the people. Peter’s life was about to change!
After Jesus finished he said to Peter, let’s go fishing. Peter’s response was pretty amazing. He said Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything, but because you say so, I’ll let down the nets. The results were amazing. Peter caught so many fish that the nets started to tear. From nothing to overabundance in 10 minutes! Peter worked all night and caught nothing and then went fishing with Jesus and caught more than he ever had.
What does this story tell us about Fear of Failure?
- God is interested in your success. He is not interested in seeing you fail. He wants you to be successful in your personal, family, business and spiritual life.
- You must let God into your entire life. God wants to use you at home, work and in the things you do, not just at church. In Philippians it says Pray about everything. Peter allowed his boat to be used for Christ’s purposes. Jesus used the boat to reach people then he took care of Peter’s needs.
- We must cooperate with God’s plan in our lives and not allow fear of failure to cause us not to act. Jesus told Peter where to fish, when to fish and how to fish and Peter did not argue. Peter’s entire life was changed because of this event. It would have been really easy for him to say “Lord I fished all night and did not catch a thing. I’m really tired and the fish are not biting today. That’s how I feel many times. Lord I’ve worked so hard and have not seen any progress. What’s the use? Why try again? I’m sure that thought went across Peter’s mind but instead of giving into it he followed Jesus’ leading.
- When God works in your life, it always involves risks, because God wants you to live by faith, not fear of failure.
- When you get God’s presence in your boat, and when you get God’s plan in your head, and when you get God’s promises in your heart, you cannot fail. Getting God’s plan into my head is the hardest part. Discerning what God wants us to do can be difficult. I think about Pastor Bil Cornelius who leads Bay Area Fellowship, which is one of the fastest growing churches in America. Before starting this church he worked on setting up another one in a different town and met with failure. How could this be? His methods were the same but God wanted him to start a church in Corpus Christi and when he obeyed amazing things happened.
- Start expecting God to act. You may be experiencing defeat, hard times, problems that seem to have no solution but just as Jesus performed a miracle in Peter’s life he can do it in your life also. Nido Qubein, president of High Point University said “Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go. They merely determine where you start.”
- God wants to bless you so much that you have to share your blessings with others in order to keep yourself from sinking. He not only wants to bless you, but bless other people through you.
- Just because you haven’t solved your problem doesn’t mean a solution doesn’t exist.
- Don’t give up. try again, but this time do it with Jesus in your boat. He will make all the difference.
If you work with children and would like to share this story with them we’ve created an origami folding card that teaches children this story: Miraculous catch of fish. Watch the video below to see how the card folds. The book God’s Answers to Life’s Difficult Questions is a great book and is available at LifeWay or on Amazon.
If you are struggling because of things going on in your life, there is hope and a future. The video by Louie Giglio I’ve found encouraging. I hope you will also. A couple other links. Need Him is there to answer any questions you might have on a relationship with Jesus. The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association is there for support. If you are not connected with a local caring church that would be a great step to take. Love to know your thoughts.

John the Baptist
John the Baptist – Creative Craft Card Makes Teaching Children Fun
You’re teaching children about John the Baptist and looking for a craft idea that will make the message stick. Memory Cross has created a very unique craft idea
that teaches children about the life of John the Baptist. The origami craft card has four panels that are designed to never stop folding. Watch the video below to see a demonstration of how the card works.
There are a lot of lessons the life of John the Baptist can teach children. He was called by God for a special purpose: to prepare the way for Jesus, but each of us is called to follow God and to open our hearts to be used by God. John the Baptist preached forgiveness of sins out in the desert and people came from all over to listen to him. From this we can help children understand that God’s plan is different from ours. We would have gone into the synagogues, to where the people were but God sent the people out into the desert to hear John.
He was a simple man yet Jesus came to him to be baptized. During John the Baptist’s later years his ministry started to wain as more people followed Jesus, yet he accepted his place in God’s plan.
The John the Baptist coloring card for children covers John’s life and will help children remember the lesson better than most other craft projects. You’ll find kids will take this card home and fold through it over and over again. As they do they’ll remember the lesson that you taught.

creative. Something that they’ll love and that makes it easy for them to memorize the passages from Ephesians, and if it were really exciting they’d show it to their friends and family. At Memory Cross we believe we’ve created this product.

Paul wrote to the Ephesians from prison. During this time, surrounded by guards he came to see the analogy of the soldier’s armor to the armor of God. Just as solder’s armor made them ready for battle so the armor of God enables us to stand against the devil’s schemes. The armor of God is being used for Answers in Genesis Vacation Bible School in 2013 so if you are using this VBS this card would be a great way to help your children learn the key scripture.
At Memory Cross we make creative ways to share the Gospel: Gospel Tracts for children and adults, Sunday School Crafts for Kids, cards that teach children the books of the Bible, and how to memorize Scripture.
