Many people are fascinated with Angels. They are guardians and messengers, mysterious and very interesting. Find out what Angels are all about with this exciting theme.
Bible Stories that would fit with an Angels Everywhere theme:
Creation-God created the angels
Abraham and Sarah visited by three angels
Three youths in the fiery furnace
Jacob's Ladder
The angels guide Isaiah through Heaven
The angel appears to Mary
The angel appears at the tomb of Jesus
(I would be careful with which stories I pick here...For instance, the three youths in the fiery furnace...I have believed that this was an appearance of the Christ and it could be confusing for children. Perhaps a better choice is a passage where Daniel is praying in chapters 9 and 10 of that book. There are also many references to angels in Revelation...maybe Revelation 22:6-9, or 19:1-10. The Angels in the Bible Storybook might be a very helpful resource for this theme.)
