Antiochus Vader trashed the temple of the Israelites.

Miss Piggy was terribly sacrificed.  Judah Macabee, also known as “Hammer,” came to the rescue and battled the Greeks.

Greeks vs. Israelites.  Trained soldiers vs. farmers.  The battle was tough but the Israelites won because God was with them.

The Israelites cleaned the temple and God helped the light of the lamp shine for 8 days.  The Lord blesses and protects those who obey and stand up for Him.

The children finally meet Aslan and face the evil army of the really bad lady.  Aslan sacrificed himself to let Edmund live.  The children return to the real world and the professor taught them that Jesus died for our sins so that we may have eternal life.

The children finally meet Aslan and go to face the evil army of the really bad lady.

The really bad lady wanted to kill Edmund because he was a traitor.

Aslan made a deal and sacrificed himself in Edmund’s place.

The really bad lady was happy because Aslan died, but then he became alive again and defeated the whole evil army!

The children returned to the real world and learned from the professor that we all have disobeyed God and deserved punishment but He sent his Son to die for us so that we can all live happily ever after.

Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy enter the land inside the wardrobe.  They meet a lot of interesting creatures.  Edmund visits the evil Empress but got imprisoned for not bringing his siblings.  The other siblings go on a mission to save Edmund and meets Father Christmas.

Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy enter the land inside the wardrobe.

They met funny creatures like the chirpy bird, the robotic robot, and the Jawas.

The Jawas show the children their secret weapon for battle against the evil Empress.

Edmund secretly flees to the Empress who put him in prison for not bringing his other siblings.

The three children go on a mission to rescue Edmund and got to meet Father Christmas.

It is exam time in a local school in Toybox Tale Land. Melissa is tempted by her friends to cheat as they got a hold of the answers.  Melissa asks Jesus to help her resist, and she did.  Turns out the questions were all scrambled so those who cheated got 100% wrong!

The World History exam is coming up and Melissa’s friend told her that she can get her the answers to all the questions!

Melissa didn’t want to cheat so she prayed to Jesus to give her strength to resist temptation.

Josie got all the answers ready, which were from the same test from last year, but Melissa refuses to get them. Josie got mad and told Melissa that she’s not her friend anymore.

Josie and her cheating friends were so happy because they know they’d get a 100% on the test. But the teacher told them that she scrambled the answers from last year’s test. So those trying to cheat would get 100% wrong!

The teacher congratulated Melissa for not cheating and doing her best.

While heroes run in fear, the hero who appears the weakest of them all proves to be the most powerful of them all, his secret? Courage!

Oh, no! The Caped-Masked Bad Guy has Professor X!

What chance does Professor X have while bound to a chair?

Will it be a duel to the death?!?

No, TO THE PAIN! (Princess Bride fans get ready…)

Caped-Masked Bad Guy: I’M NOT SURE I’M FAMILIAR WITH THAT PHRASE.

Professor X: I’ll explain, and I’ll use small words so you’ll be sure to understand, you wart-hogged-faced buffoon.

THAT MAY BE THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE A MAN HAS DARED TO INSULT ME.

It won’t be the last — to the pain means that the first thing you will lose is your feet, below the ankles, then your hands at the wrists, next your nose.

AND THEN MY TONGUE I SUPPOSE. ON WITH IT!

I wasn’t finished! The next thing you will lose is your left eye followed by your right.

AND THEN MY EARS, I UNDERSTAND, LETS GET ON WITH IT.

Wrong! Your ears you’ll keep and I’ll tell you why. So that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish, every babe that weep at your approach, every woman who cries out, “What is that thing?” will echo in your perfect ears. THAT is what the pain means. It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever.

I THINK YOU’RE BLUFFING.

It’s possible, pig. I might be bluffing. It is conceivable you miserable vomitous mass that I’m only sitting here because I lack the strength to stand…

…then again, perhaps I have the strength after all.

Drop your sword!!!

Have a seat. Tie yourself up with those annoying twisty ties that come with all toys nowadays. Make it as tight as you want.

Ah, so weak.

I KNEW YOU WERE BLUFFING, I KNEW HE WAS BLUFFING.

THE LESSON:

Courage comes not from physical strength.
Courage comes from within.

Courage can defeat even a mightier foe!

(Size Matters Not!)

The Kings of the Realm are traveling through the Kingdom, telling others about the King’s Son. As they reach a distant area of the Realm where the news of the Son’s victory over Darth Sidious has not been heard, a small but mighty warrior confronts and then joins them. But when they face a most powerful towering foe, all run in fear but the most unlikely hero shows that courage always prevails over unworthy foes.
