Jesus told a story about a farmer named Saul who kept building bigger barns to store more food so he could stop working and live for himself. But Jesus called Saul a fool because he only cared about storing stuff on earth instead of using what he had to love and help others.

Money lesson for kids: It’s foolish to store up money and things just for yourself—real treasure comes from using what you have to love others and make a difference that lasts forever.

Jesus told a story to show that fake giving—when people pretend to be generous but really just help themselves—is not what God wants. April realized she had been using loopholes and doing fake giving, so she decided to start giving from the heart, the way Jesus does.

Money lesson for kids: Fake giving looks generous on the outside, but real giving means sharing with love, even when it costs you something.

Jesus told a story about a man who started building a tall tower but ran out of money because he didn’t plan ahead. Two kids listening realized they should also plan wisely before buying a goat for their mom, so they decided to save more to take care of it properly.

Money lesson for kids: Before you buy something, make sure you think about all the costs—so you’re ready for what comes after, not just the price tag.

Jesus told a story about ten girls waiting for a wedding party—five were wise and brought extra oil for their lamps, but five didn’t, and they missed out when the party finally came. The wise girls were ready for surprises, and that made all the difference.

Money lesson for kids: Not spending all of your money and saving a little extra money—called “margin”—helps you stay ready when life doesn’t go as planned, just like bringing extra oil helped the wise girls be ready for the party.

Simeon was a super smart teacher who asked Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?”—so Jesus told a story about a man who was hurt and helped by a super generous stranger, a Samaritan. At the end, when we realize we are the wounded person and Jesus is the good Samaritan, we can be free to be more generous.

Money lesson for kids: God’s generosity to us is so big that it can inspire us to be generous with what we have—no matter how small.

After a long walk through the desert, Jesus rests at a well and offers a Samaritan woman “living water,” showing her that our souls need to be fed with God’s love before we worry about filling our bellies. When His disciples return with food, Jesus explains that doing God’s work brings deeper satisfaction than any meal, teaching them to focus on spiritual needs first.

Money lesson for kids:

Don’t focus only on money and food—remember to feed your soul first with God’s love, because it’s free and fills you in a way money never can.

Mary and Joseph worked hard to save money for baby Jesus’ dedication at the temple, but when the dove seller charged too much, they couldn’t afford both the dove and the lamb. Thankfully, God had already made a way in His law for the poor—and even more wonderfully, Jesus Himself would one day be the true Lamb who paid for everything.

Money lesson for kids:

The best things—like God’s love—can’t be bought with money, so we should trust Him and never try to take advantage of others just to get more.

In famine-stricken Jerusalem, a wealthy lender named Skylark exploits his fellow Jews by charging high interest and enslaving those who cannot repay, including the children of a desperate mother named Jasmine. When Jasmine pleads with Governor Nehemiah, he confronts Skylark and demands justice, leading to the forgiveness of debts and the freeing of enslaved families.

Money lesson for kids:

If you do not have the money to buy something, do not buy it using debt or credit, and you will never be a slave to anyone.
