This Bible story podcast for kids tells the story of Sarah Laughs. We referenced the following Biblical passages: Genesis 18:1-5, 21:1-3. 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.

This is Sarah and this is her husband Abraham. Sarah was very old and had never had any children. One day Abraham was sitting at the entrance to his tent during the hottest part of the day when the Lord appeared to him. Abraham saw three men standing nearby and he ran to welcome them.

He asked them to stay with him for a while to rest and eat. The men agreed. So Abraham had Sarah and his servant prepare food for them men. When the food was ready, Abraham took the food and served it to the men. As they ate, Abraham waited on them in the shade of the trees.

“Where is Sarah, your wife?” the visitors asked.

“She’s inside the tent,” Abraham said.

Then one of them said, “I will return to you about this time next year, and your wife, Sarah, will have a son!”

Sarah was listening to this from the tent. She laughed silently to herself because she thought it was funny to think that she and Abraham could have a child in their old age. 

Then the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh? Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return about this time next year, and Sarah will have a son.”

Sarah was afraid, so she denied it, saying, “I didn’t laugh.”

But the Lord said, “No, you did laugh.”

A year later, Sarah did have a son. The son’s name was Isaac. God’s promises came true for Abraham and Sarah. Abraham became the father of many nations and from his child came children and from their children, more children, until Abraham’s descendants were truly more numerous than the stars in the sky, just as the Lord had promised.
