God Makes It Grow

A Bible story for kids from 1 Corinthians 3:5–9. Day 296 of 365.

Some people in Corinth were arguing: “Paul is the best!” “No, Apollos is the best!”

Paul said, “We're just helpers. It's like a garden. I planted the seed, and Apollos watered it.”

“But God is the one who makes it grow!” Only God can make faith grow in someone's heart.
