  • In the story of the Bible, God is depicted as a generous host who provides for the needs of his guests. However, humans live from a mindset of scarcity and hoard God’s many gifts. In this video on Generosity, we explore God’s plan for overcoming our selfishness by giving the ultimate gift of himself in the person of Jesus.

      Jesus is a catholic church invention he was the homosexual son of pope Alexander, it is a shock but I rather tell the truth as I've learned too, rather than worshipping a false image like our heavenly Father said even lucifer comes as an angel of light. Seek The true Messiah of the bible that is Yahshua Hamashiach, he was a poor black man in a rich white society. Seek an identity awakened series by the channel seed of Israel and whited out series from the watchman reports, it is eye opening and life changing. Know who to expect that is Yashuah black Messiah not the white pure jesus that's blonde with blue eyes invented by the white supremacy. All praises to the Most High Yahuah and His Son Yashuah Hamashiach ❤☝

      According to his plan, God chose Judas to deliver him to his own creatures to kill him: voluntary death.
      So, God committed suicide to save the baptized believers sinners including the men of the church who rape the children in the churches.
      According to the plan prepared by God, God will pray to God to save God but God will abandon God by leaving God alone slain by the creatures of God under the eyes of God and all that for the beautiful eyes of the creatures of God !!!

    Perhaps you’ve heard one of Jesus’ well-known teachings about trusting in God’s generosity: “Look at the ravens, they don’t sow seed… or have barns, yet God feeds them. How much more valuable you are to God than birds” (Luke 12:24)! Some people hear these words and feel comfort in God’s love. Others think immediately of the dead bird they saw the other day on the side of the road and wonder how that fits into Jesus’ picture of divine generosity! Jesus was obviously aware of the suffering and death that pervades our world (he was unjustly arrested and crucified). Yet he was able to maintain a mindset that saw the world packed with abundance by a generous creator God. How did he cultivate this belief when his world and his own life were marred by signs of scarcity and suffering? Jesus lived with a deep sense of God’s mercy and generosity, and this conviction was rooted in the storyline of the Hebrew Scriptures. In our video on Generosity in the Bible, we explore the biblical story and see how it invites us to view the world the way Jesus does-as an expression of God’s generous and creative love. In the person of Jesus, God gives the ultimate gift to a world that lives with a scarcity mindset, so that we can get a glimpse of the eternal and infinite abundance God has in store.

I never withhold or have looked for a hand out. However I am in desperate need. I’ve asked for help from my church but they said they “don’t have the funds.” Even though I tithe and give offerings. God has always been faithful but He does it through others and I’m asking that you please consider helping me. I trust God completely, He has never let me down. I am actively seeking work and have even been making home decor etc to pay bills and keep my apartment. Please consider helping me. I have a a Venmo account: @goafteryourpurpose

      BibleProject this video is too sweet with just a little too much party and not mentioning enough why with why he came, sin is the reason and the tone of the video is sadly off with the reason our Father gave his only son, I like most of your videos and enjoy your work I truly do but just this video is too inclusive when after our life here most won’t be included for not knowing God. Stay blessed.

    You know, we live in a world in which it’s becoming increasingly difficult to be generous. I’ve given to people and families who thought I was only sharing because I pitied and looked down on them. It is pride that causes us to look out for only ourselves, but also which keeps us from receiving the generosity of others. This video has inspired me to give regardless of how it’s perceived, because I want to open up little pockets of Jesus’s Kingdom NOW. I will be actively looking for ways to give my time and resources to those in need. Thank you Bible Project!

    Very easy to feel like nothing is ever enough and that you need to hold onto yours instead of being generous. But it’s important to know that our treasures are in heaven not on earth and serve one another in generosity in accordance with Gods will for our lives. Know that I’m serving God when putting myself last in situations brings comfort to my heart because I want to praise and serve Him with all I have and all I am. Not putting anything above Him even if I have nothing. It’s very easy to say all these things because I fall short of it everyday. But God’s grace is sufficient 🤍

      @Angel c
      In my opinion the video was about: Jesus had to be sent, cuz we can control nothing by ourselfs, because of sin...
      So... the video contains this message : Believe upon Him... as the scriptures said... (Because he was sent)
      I hate writing message in a form of comment -> I am teached right now how to pray for others instead of sending messages like ... "this is not the truth"... "you should do this and this"... + (" Some scriptures mentioned ")
      Just do what He wants from you : Be generous ( as He was) , show mercy and do not tell people what they should do and how they should live, because its not given upon you...
      If you tell them you are just another pharisee... Remember they knew sriptures well too ....(like us, Christian people came from a church) - I spent lot of time being pharisee and I didnt even realised it...
      The thruth is that nobody needs us (christians)... Everyone needs Jesus...
      And how to find Jesus... (show generosity as the video presents --> throughout christians)
      So if you behave like Jesus they will be attentive to you, the way you live and they may start searching for something you own... and who is searching will find something (Matthew 7:7-11) and God will give them faith and everything they need , because He is the love, the thruth and do not forget to mention... a consuming fire (Hebrew 12,29)
      You got right when you mentioned sriptures, its OK. But everyone is different...
      There is "wheat", "caraway" and other types of people... so when you work with wheat is not like when you work with caraway...God knows it well...
      (Greater force must be exerted when working with caraway and working gently with wheat.)
      So... belive Him, hear Him, ask Him,love Him , be with Him and do what He say...
      Otherwise I FULLY AGREE with you. But i hear the voice of God in this video thats why i wrote down these things...
      God cannot be restricted by Bible (the written verb), because he is GOD.
      He is the only one who knows the way to our hearts... Just love others... thats all...
      And do not write this kind of comments like "this is not the truth" . Write comments... "I THINK this is not the thruth, because..."
      Thanks for attention... if there was anyone who read it...
      ( Some parts may sound funny for the reason I am not english speaker, some parts were translated :P )
      (The ""caraway- wheat" part was just an example -- Different story of different people, different lead)

    You know, I gotta say. I am personally, an agnostic. My son goes to a catholic school (better education opportunities for his specific needs) so, I have been watching your videos so that I can have a better understanding of the things he will be learning in religion class and such. My husband grew up in the church more than I did, so he knows all of the stories and lessons better than I do and I need to catch up! Lol
    Your videos are entertaining, informative, and they provide enough simplicity that an agnostic such as myself can see the benefits of the teachings even if I struggle with the creator concept. I appreciate your content for those very reasons. So, thank you! 💕
    P.S. (because I know someone reading this has the finger hovering over reply) Those wishing to reply to me with intentions to change my mind on my agnostic stance or start an argument, please don't. I'm not here for debate. Faith requires faith, which I am not capable of to the depths necessary for religion and I would rather be an honest agnostic, than a false Christian. (False in the sense that I would be lying to myself if I pretended to have Faith, just to clairify) 😊

      "It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and brimstone rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

    You've already put out enough content to have me in awe AND effect a change in me. This one...this one is personal and extremely powerful. I teared up. I've grown up in an environment that is absolutely opposite to generosity. Next to fear the second greatest battle I've had with myself is selfishness. ABBA has continually broken that stronghold but THIS video was the ultimate blow to it. I immediately thought about a specific person whom I had struggles being MORE generous to. All I wanted to do in my mind was hug them and be generous to them. To the whole BIBLE PROJECT team, once again, I thank ABBA for you.

    At this point in my life, I feel like I don't worry that much. I feel like I really do trust in God. I mean if he ensures the fowls of the air, the beasts of the field, the fishes of the sea, and every other thing that creeps and crawls on the Earth is fed, given water, and has shelter. Why should I worry about that? Why should I worry about tomorrow? God loves everyone and every creature he made he would never forsake us. And with that in mind I trust in God. I don't really worry about money either. Sure, money is kind of important, but God is more important, the state of your soul is more important than Earthly riches. So, thank you God for lending me this understanding, and thank you for your mercy.

    Jesus replied: “A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. 17 At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’
    “But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.’
    “Another said, ‘I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.’
    “Still another said, ‘I just got married, so I can’t come.’
    “The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.’
    “‘Sir,’ the servant said, ‘what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.’
    “Then the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full. Luke 14:16-23
    Whether you are the poor, the weak, the sinner, or the gentile, LORD said ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full. You will be in there. LORD said my house will be FULL. That is how heaven is like. , how generous he is.Amen

You really create a great content here, and as a person who appreciate design, I really love your illustration very much! You guys are very talented people (if people don't say that to you often, I'm just telling it again). How the illustration and design interact with the stories you're telling to your audience. I sometimes really inspired by them and try to make poster or design with the theme like that (well I cannot make them moving tho because I haven't learning how to do those thing). Anyway, Thanks to God, for He allows you to keep continue and spread the word to more people. I'm not that very religious myself, I mean I don't really active in church services and praying community. I'm mostly keeping my beliefs personal, living in a country where Christian is maybe just making less than 20% of the population. God bless you all always, and keep the great work up for the greater glory of God.

    I've recently gone through my born again experience this past week. And I've felt the Holy Spirit wash over me. Starting from my wrists marching past my shoulders to soften my heart and see Him in everything. I'm so overwhelmed and I don't know what to do. Every time I humble myself to him he responds, and I'm scared. Knowing that he is Good, that God is the Good in the world. The light that brings us all back to Him. I've been feeling like Jonah, and there's no more time left to run away from everything I've ever wanted in life. It's always been Him, I was so blind and self absorbed. I feel like people don't see God because they're constantly breaking the second Commandment, and are making themselves God. The moment I put him first before myself the whole world opened up. We are also lucky to have such a merciful God, how could someone give up His son, Himself, and His Spirit and be considered bad or evil? His ingredients are always fresh, yet many of us aren't following his recipe, and it's the one thing he wants. He knows all, yet we don't listen. How could his children be so blind to his love. Oh God, I pray that we all will find your salvation and allow you to give us the strength to help light up your path in times of darkness for others. May we be your apostles, teachers, leaders in true love, and pastors to help Shepard the lost and damned back to the one true fisher of men. My we let Mercy reign and for all glory to go to Him.
    P.p. (post-prayer):let's make this comment a thread of positivity and prayer. Please tell me and everyone else something you'd like us to pray for. Let's be the light that he put in all of us

    When you watch a TBP video, i think it is a must to meditate for a while. Sinking in all the wonderful and beautiful works of God. It is just overwhelming thinking how good and great our God is!

    I believe this video popping at my newsfeed wasn't a coincidence. Because I'm one of those who live like there's nothing enough. I've been complaining especially this year because my family is on a financial crisis and my 9 to 5 work couldn't provide much to them 😢
    Yet I believe in the power of God so I will resume the practice of generous giving like my Lord did before and continually does.

    This opened my eyes in ways I never thought of before. And this popped up in my recommended just when I needed it. :)
    Now I know that the reason I'm suffering more than I need to is due to my lack of trust in the generosity of God and of the people around me.
