4. The story of David and Goliath is told over and over and not just in a religious context. You may call this a story of right versus might.

David, who had come to feed his brothers in the Israelite army, took on Goliath's challenge. He approached Goliath with a slingshot and stones. Where did he hit Goliath to kill him?
5. "Noah's Ark" is another story often shared with children in Sunday school. God decided that the earth and everything on it was corrupt and needed to be cleansed.

6. The Internet Movie Database lists 17 stories entitled 'Samson and Delilah', dating back to 1902. Needless to say, this is a very popular story from the Bible. God gave Samson extraordinary strength, and in exchange, he had to live a very pure life dedicated to God. His downfall was Delilah, who was offered money to find the root of his strength. She asked, he lied, she'd try, he'd defeat, and it would start all over again. Which of the following did she NOT try as a way to weaken Samson?

9. Jesus and his disciples were travelling from Jerusalem to Galilee. On the trip, he went through Samaria. While the disciples went off to buy food, Jesus sat by a well and asked a Samaritan woman for water. She was surprised since he was a Jew and Jews and Samaritans didn't associate with each other. They talked for a while and she said she knew the Messiah was coming. Jesus told the woman some things that convinced her she was talking to the Messiah. What was NOT said to the woman in the King James Version?
10. The prodigal son is another of Jesus' parables. It was the story of the younger of two brothers who asked his father for his inheritance. He took the money and left home.
