This Bible story podcast for kids tells the story of God Sends the Holy Spirit. We referenced the following Biblical passages: Acts 2. 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.

These are the Apostles. They followed Jesus during his time on earth. Before Jesus went to heaven, He told them to stay in Jerusalem until God sent the gift he promised. So after Jesus went to heaven the apostles stayed in Jerusalem along with the other people who believed in Jesus.

One day they were all gathered together when there was a sound from heaven like a mighty windstorm! Then what looked like flames appeared and settled on each of them and everyone was filled with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit gave them the ability to speak in other languages and so they started speaking.

At that time there were devout Jews from every nation living in Jerusalem. When they heard the loud noise, they came running to see what it was. When they saw the believers speaking in their own languages, they were shocked and amazed! 

They wondered, “How can this be? These people are from Galilee and yet we hear them speaking in our own native languages about the wonderful things God has done! What can this mean?” But others in the crowds didn’t believe that it was really a miracle and thought the believers were just acting oddly. 

Then Peter stepped forward and shouted to the crowd, “Listen carefully all you!” He told them that they were not acting strangely but that this was from God. He reminded them that God said this would happen long ago. Then Peter told them about how Jesus was crucified but then raised to life again just as God had said he would be. He told them that Jesus was now in heaven and that God had given the Holy Spirit to them as he had promised. 

Peter’s words changed what the people thought and felt, and they asked, “Brothers, what should we do?”

Peter told them, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” Peter continued to preach to the crowd for a long time and those who believed what Peter said were baptized.  3000 people were baptized and added to the church that day. 

Then all the believers listened to the apostles teaching and practiced what they taught. They met together in fellowship, shared meals, and prayed together. They were greatly amazed as the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders. All the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. They helped those in need, worshipped together at the temple every day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy all while praising God and enjoying each other. And each day God added to their fellowship those who were being saved.
