Yes it is! I've started reading the Holy Scriptures. But I prayed and asked God for understanding. I then ran across the Bible Project. And it's a true blessing for Bible Study.Thanks🙏💖
I have started reading the Bible. I am working through Psalms and looking forward to Proverbs. Your video has inspired me to learn more and more. It has also shown me that I have been a fool for most of my life. And Proverbs is accurate, my life has been a train wreck of my own doing. I recently came to God in my 64th year of life. God never abandoned me despite my foolishness and sins. I’ve tried reading the Bible two or three times in the past, but never got very far. God reached out to me and I’ve repented and prayed for forgiveness and He has answered my prayers. I have a renewed vigor for the Bible scriptures and I’m working on my relationship with God. I was truly lost, but now I am found. Thank you Jesus for showing me the way and showing this video to me.
@@adeniyioladipupo6592 It's just saying Proverbs is the "do this and everything will be great" book. The general rule. While Job/Ecclesiastes are the "I did those things, but everything did NOT turn out great" books. The exception to the rule. For example, Proverbs would be: I waited to have sex until marriage, had 2 kids & we lived happily ever after. While Job/Ecclesiastes would be: I waited to have sex until marriage, found out I was infertile, husband left me. It's saying life happens. We live in a fallen world so things don't always workout perfectly. There are no guarantees.
@@LeonLuckyV what a nonsense thing to say. There is and has been plenty of hate among christians to those that question the faith or practice it differently. There's literally been crusades, religious wars , torture, etc. None of those things are how a true christian should act according to the scripture but that doesn't take away the fact that there are plenty of people who call themselves christians that have hatred towards those that question their faith
@@bruh666 I mean, I think he’s talking about current day. As opposed to Islam, where if you rip up a Quran you can get lynched. I haven’t seen someone in the last couple of decades who ripped up the Bible and then was mobbed up a roof, fell from it and then stoned and set on fire. But with Islam…well…they filmed it and put that on the internet. Just saying, as a woman, which countries who have a history of certain religions do you think I’d rather be in? Christianity is called sexist all day long - but I’m terrified to step into the Middle East. And India, who practice Hinduism, is not better apparently.
@chocolatefudge5263 good my man i hope an pray you continue your walk an path to god i will pray for you that you grow closer to Jesus Christ. stay safe my brother
This could not have been any better explained. This was beautiful. I just finished reading the entire book of proverbs and ironically enough when I got to chapter 25 my wisdom tooth grew in !!!! It hurt painfully for 2 days and stopped immediately after I finished chapter 31. God is good.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105 *All scripture* is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Timothy 3:16
I have practiced this in the past and found it to be highly beneficial. What I did was read Proverbs in the morning basing the chapter read on the number of the day and the read Psalms at night starting with chapter one and following through until I had reached the end and started again. Managed to read the book of Proverbs 12 times in a year and read through Psalms just over twice in a year. I found it gave me great patience, comfort and a stronger reliance on God. Definitely something to consider practicing, Gods peace and blessings.
If you read 5 Psalms a day and 1 Proverb, you will read them both every month. Many people in my church body do this, including myself. It has been a life saver.
My 2023 goal is to watch and study all of your overview sketches of every book in chronological order. I’m not sure what drove me to this goal, but I absolutely love these interpretations. They allow me to have a greater understanding of the Bible. Thank you! God Bless!
@@abarley2463 I’m on John in the New Testament. It’s not going as well as I expected because of other Bible plans. I love the videos, however, I need to watch them more consistently. Thank you for the reminder!! Funny how you just nudged me when I needed it 🙏
@@kjguitarman I am stuck in proverbs just had no motivation reading it so I am stuck at proverbs but I will still see videos about it until I am actually done reading it.
You don’t have to get stuck in the Bible. It’s totally cool to lose steam on some portions of scripture until you are ready for them. I approach studying scripture sort of like a cross word puzzle. If I get stuck on a word I’ll focus on another part for a while. Slowly as I fill in gaps, only then, am I able to understand and fill in the more challenging blanks. No idea if that makes sense. I just know that my understanding of scripture is directly connected to if I’m consistently in the word and not usually about reading plans to get through the whole Bible. I pray and trust the Lord to teach me his ways if I ask and seek for him. And there is no substitute for reading yourself. Videos, podcasts, books, conferences, sermons are great but even more exciting is to become familiar with Gods truth for yourself. He’s the best teacher so ask and trust him to teach you his ways. Ask him to give you understanding. It feels like there is no end to the depth of scripture. I’ll be reading it and letting God teach me through it for as long as I live so there’s no read rush to get through a specific book.
I’m deep into the Bible Recap, day 154, and starting Proverbs today. The Bible Recap’s podcast links the Bible Projects videos, so that is how I discovered this channel. I want to commend the voice over artist for his fine work narrating these videos. His easy and free-flowing voice keep me engaged to the amazing artwork. Well done!
It is insane how God is watching you and communicating with you when you need him the most is amazing and when you pray and talk to him, and as you will receive I feel protected just reading every single letter from this Bible right now it’s been so hard to find more people like minded I am a believer wanting to talk,work with, share, with those like minded to me
This year i left Christianity for islam, but i am currently reviewing the bible and going back through it. This is one of the best put together videos ive ever seen on youtube. And i watch a LOT of youtube. Very well done, i appreciate the simplicity but informative nature of this video.
Ive been a christian for about 11 years or so. I have never thought of the book of Proverbs in such way. Thank you @bibleproject for explaining it in words I completely understand. I am actually starting my reading on it again...
I'm so glad this channel exists, or I would never understand the complex words and underlying meanings in the bible. Thanks for making my life easier BibleProject!
In this difficult times, full of liers, full of evil actions, full of crocked generations, this book like Ecclesiastes, was thanks to God's grace, a wonderful light and our Heavenly Father, counsel me in my previous meaningless life. Excellent job guys...congratulations!!!😇
Would you consider yourself to be a good person? How many lies have you told, and what do you call someone who lies? Have you ever stolen something, no matter how small, and what do you call someone who steals? Have you ever taken God's name in vain/blasphemed, even ‘OMG’? That’s taking the name of the God who gave you life and using it in the place of a cuss word - would you do that with your mother’s name? Have you ever dishonoured your parents? Jesus said whoever looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery in his heart. Have you ever looked with lust? Most people probably have broken all 5 of these commandments. I myself have. I’m not judging you but if you have done these things then you’re a lying, thieving, blasphemous, rebellious adulterer-at-heart by your own admission. That's only 5 of the 10 commandments. God is fully just so he must and will punish every and all sin (which is departure from/rebellion towards God and the conscience) when he judges us. He cannot simply cancel our debt and let us go, or else he would be unjust. If you went into the courtroom and said: ‘Yes Judge, I’ve done these things but I also give money to the Red Cross and volunteer at an old-age home. I try my best to love people’ the judge is not going to take that into consideration. You’ve broken the law; the good you’ve done won’t help at all on the day of judgement. If he judges you by the moral law will you be innocent or guilty? Heaven or Hell? The answer is Hell. Doesn’t that concern you? But, fortunately, that is not God’s will. He is so loving and merciful, he made a way for you to be forgiven. The Son of God came down as a man, Jesus Christ, and lived a perfect, sinless life, so was the perfect sacrifice. He excruciatingly suffered and died on the cross to pay the FULL debt we owe because of sin; justice is fully done. You and I broke God's law and Jesus paid the fine in his life's blood, being resurrected again 3 days later. That’s why he said “It is finished” on the cross - in other words the debt has been paid. God has the payment ready to go for you. What you need to do is repent (recognising you are a sinner deserving God's punishment, turn to Him) and trust ALONE in Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins. Our works can do nothing as by the standard of God’s moral law we fail, but faith in him is enough to save us from all sin - past, present and future! Then though you have grievously offended God, he will forgive you and you will inherit eternal life being reborn in the Holy Spirit when you put your trust in the Lord and saviour. Too, you enter a covenant relationship with God - sonship, and truly I tell you your life will change in his presence. So repent and trust (i.e. Biblical faith), receive the free gift of grace. He redeemed me. God, The King of The Universe, came down as a man. He lived the first 30 years of his life as a poor carpenter then spent the next 3 preaching, healing and saving souls - all the while being persecuted, insulted and hated by his own people - and took the punishment to save our lives. It’s the most amazing love that anyone ever displayed. Christianity’s not just a religion. It's a pure, sweet relationship with God. Because of Jesus, I am now a son of God. He is my dad, and you can be his child too. God loves you. Will you let him come?. . .. . .. . .
@@kennylee6499 Jesus commanded us to preach the gospel. You seriously just reprimanded me for following what He said I must do. Examine yourself. God bless
@@michaal105 " I have only come for the lost sheep of Israel " " the father is the only true God " " I cannot do anything but the will of the father" also there is not such thing as the man God Jesus in the OT
Such an amazing breakdown concept. Now I also know that Proverbs isn't the only Wisdom book in the Bible, but Ecclesiastes and Job are there. Learning each and every one of them is so key, they bring out God's Wisdom to a fuller understanding.
In a world where the role of women is at so much dispute and amongst all my fears and anxieties to fit rightly into my adulthood and womanhood, I've personally found great comfort and amazing encouragement in Lady Wisdom, especially Proverbs 31. Now I can say that I'm clothed in strenght, dignity and I can laugh without fear of the future. I only fear my Lord who loves me and perfects me for His glory.
This is amazing. I never thought of Proverbs as an algorithm for life... but the best part... not a perfect algorithm! What brings it to perfection is your trust in God that his wisdom is above all.
I can’t believe I’ve been a Christian for 21 years and have never heard the names Agur and Lemuel! I can’t wait to get to these parts of Scripture! Also I am so thankful for the distinction y’all made that the Proverbs are not Promises. I also want to do a deeper study on what Gods promises actually are
I dont think I would ever understand anything about the general messages of the Bible without you guys. You are truly doing the Lords great work! God bless the Bible project!
I love how this video brought out that Ecclesiastes and Jobe are exceptions to the rule. Because Proverbs is not promises but guides. That is so insightful.
Your summaries are filled with structure, and each one gives me something new to think about in my Bible studies. All of the lines separate each group of pertinent info. Thank you for posting.
As I am reading through the Bible, these videos have given me amazingly clear insights that provide a foundation for each chapter that I have not had previously. I also marvel at the way in which the videos are presented and realise the love, dedication and hard work that goes into their production. Thank you so much and God bless! 🙏🙏🙏
I love how the books of the Bible are explained and drawn. The voice and detailed drawn is absolutely the best ! Thank you. I will recommend to all Bible students that I know
Thank you, I am on chapter 11 of proverbs. I literally read one a day. And i have subscribed to your channel, because I was blown away at how clear your presentation was. Thank you so much for this very kind service. My Bible is a King James version, with very antiquated English, that gives me a lot to decipher. but I do love the quality of my bible, it has beautiful paper, is solidly built, and has Jesus's words in red letters. It is a tactile treasure worth beholding. ANYWAYS, i look forward to seeing more of your enlightening work.
This is so well done and it is a treasure, so glad I found it. I really think I looked at Proverbs as Promises and have never seen it broken down like this. Thanks for you work. I know the Lord will be blessed by it.
I am actually using some of this for a presentation I am doing for a college class on spiritual formation. I just got started with learning about the Christian faith, the Bible, etc., but so far, this has been more helpful than a lot of my professors in helping me understand the Bible!
I bless the Name Of The LORD ALMIGHTY gor such wisdom He has given you guys! I pray for such wisdom and understanding to pursue my God given purpose and destiny ALLELUJAH AMEN 🤗💥👑🙏
Proverbs is an awesome book of the Bible. Every book of the Bible has many good points that we can apply to our own lives, but the book of proverbs is literally one good point after another. I love it.... Praise Yeshua!!! 🙏✡🕎🦁
@Jon Bird my dad goes to a christian jewish church. Its literally inside someones house. Around 40 people attend, they take turns in washing eachothers feet and wiping them dry with a towel, just as Jesus washed Peters feet.
@Jon Bird i can sort of understand where you're coming from. Personally myself, i dont go to church. Most churches these days are full of false prophets and its all about collecting tithes and so forth 💲💲💲💲💲💲💲. Very little to actually do with worshiping God. Look at the apostles, none of them got around with pockets full of money did they?.
Your videos are a blessing. For a teenage new Christian with a pretty short attention span and brain not yet ready to process the intricate writing of the Old Testament, this is great. I find it easier to read the New one for some reason :)
You guys are such a blessing to millions. Millions! Outstanding work! Thank you so much! I know this is God called, you answered, and are nailing it out of the park! ❤🙏❤
This is crazy. God has been screaming at me to read the book of proverbs. It’s been so heavy on my heart because I’ve been struggling with so much of what the wisdom this books brings. I watched this video just to hear what it’s all about and just wow. I need to read this for myself. I truly believe God has been telling me to read this.
Thank you for doing this. Im 34 and did NOT grow up in any church. Ive been to a few in my life. I live in the bible belt and in my teens through 20's I always stayed away because of the "southern baptist" and the judgement i would feel the few times i went to a church. Which isn't their fault. My father died August 3rd 2023 and I have learned so much. I ended up here this morning (its 8:54am eastern time here) because I walked into my apartment and there was a preacher on TV and he said something about a guy named Job that struck me....I looked up Job and ended up here. Thank you
My friend the godfather of my daughter have told me a million times "don't simplify things life is complex" and then I see this proverb that says "life is too complex for simple formulas" I'm blessed by God for having him as a friend and as family
Wow I'm shocked how many languages this are being translated. I remember when I first found The bible project didn't had in my language (Portuguese from Brazil) and I couldn't share with some people I would love, cause they wouldn't understand. God really has blessing you guys. I'm so happy for it. I hope ppl can spread it around the world cause you deserve it. It's an amazing work and please keep it up 🥰❤
I wanna thank the creators of this series because i am autistic and the bible always came off so confusing to me and these maps help me understand so much better thank you creators
The Fear of the Lord is the BEGINNING of Wisdom is the most undervalued and under preached concept in the Bible. Understanding and appreciating the depth and length God has gone to so that we might be creatures with a mind is just breath taking and something to be marveled at every day. He could have chosen to make you a rock instead! :) When we truly understand this we understand how to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.” And then there is no pain, suffering, oppression that anyone can inflict upon you because God is TRULY first in your life.
I love the attention to detail, both in the spoken word, and in the animation. Have showed a couple now to my congregation (Yorkshire, UK) and apart from a couple of the older people missing a few words because of the accent, they have really enjoyed the way the information has been put across. Thank you.
You guys are brilliant. I recently studied the book of proverb for the first time and discovered the truth, as you guys describe it. Thank you so much for this project!
I love your videos. Every time I watch them I learn something new and come to realizations I never had before things that I missed while reading the Bible
Whaw! There is no book like the bible, I am astonished. I was so scared to read it before now its just gr8! I wish I could download the bible into my brain all at once.....:)
I loved this video as it has really helped me take many things from the the different chapters and how to apply them to my life. I’ve noted down many things on the video and this will for sure help me take practical decisions into my everyday life as Gods wisdom teaches, AMEN‼️
2 Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness so that the servant of God may be throughly equipped for every good work. Let us never forget that the Word of God is infallible and it is the God breathed truth. It cannot be altered or compromised on.
I’m here because 3 years ago I found an open bible in the train. I was becoming more distant to god at that time. I saw that it was opened to proverbs. No one was around I took it with me. I want to know what it meant because I was going through a lot at that time. I’m finally doing my research.
I struggled so bad with scornful people that proverbs talks about ..it really helped me …I always sensed something wicked about thoses types…like they laugh at things we should b more compassionate about …I grew up around a lot of slimeballs ..and I’m desperate for better friends
I cannot thank you enough I've asked people to help me with Proverbs and very beginning part I haven't got the right answer but I got the right answer from you and you don't know how much I appreciate it thank you very much
I'm just commenting on a random video but i got to tell the Bible project team thank you for making even the "boring" Books in the Bible interesting by sectioning them and giving a summary to it, telling me exactly what to expect and understand things in a much better way. THANK YOU.

What you need to do is repent (recognising you are a sinner deserving God's punishment, turn to Him) and trust ALONE in Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins. Our works can do nothing as by the standard of God’s moral law we fail, but faith in him is enough to save us from all sin - past, present and future! Then though you have grievously offended God, he will forgive you and you will inherit eternal life being reborn in the Holy Spirit when you put your trust in the Lord and saviour. Too, you enter a covenant relationship with God - sonship, and truly I tell you your life will change in his presence. So repent and trust (i.e. Biblical faith), receive the free gift of grace.
He redeemed me. God, The King of The Universe, came down as a man. He lived the first 30 years of his life as a poor carpenter then spent the next 3 preaching, healing and saving souls - all the while being persecuted, insulted and hated by his own people - and took the punishment to save our lives. It’s the most amazing love that anyone ever displayed. Christianity’s not just a religion. It's a pure, sweet relationship with God. Because of Jesus, I am now a son of God. He is my dad, and you can be his child too. God loves you. Will you let him come?. . .. . .. . .
@@michaal105 bruh. Chill for a bit. Don’t be overbearing in spreading the word
@@kennylee6499 Jesus commanded us to preach the gospel.
You seriously just reprimanded me for following what He said I must do.
Examine yourself.
God bless

Good channel.

Proverbs is very useful not just to say 'Praise God' but to give practical advice today.
I have been so Blessed by these videos. The explanations and teachings brings the Bible alive and translates to everyday life.
Such an amazing breakdown concept. Now I also know that Proverbs isn't the only Wisdom book in the Bible, but Ecclesiastes and Job are there. Learning each and every one of them is so key, they bring out God's Wisdom to a fuller understanding.
I have had so much trouble studying the bible, and i am filled with joy that this exists! bless you!
My uncle RIP was a pastor and when I was on punishment.(I was 15) He had me read a chapter a day and write a summary of it each time.
Using punishment!
So do you have a negative association with proverbs?
Hatred creates strife but love covers all sin - Proverbs 10:12
In a world where the role of women is at so much dispute and amongst all my fears and anxieties to fit rightly into my adulthood and womanhood, I've personally found great comfort and amazing encouragement in Lady Wisdom, especially Proverbs 31. Now I can say that I'm clothed in strenght, dignity and I can laugh without fear of the future. I only fear my Lord who loves me and perfects me for His glory.
This is amazing. I never thought of Proverbs as an algorithm for life... but the best part... not a perfect algorithm! What brings it to perfection is your trust in God that his wisdom is above all.
I can’t believe I’ve been a Christian for 21 years and have never heard the names Agur and Lemuel! I can’t wait to get to these parts of Scripture! Also I am so thankful for the distinction y’all made that the Proverbs are not Promises. I also want to do a deeper study on what Gods promises actually are
I dont think I would ever understand anything about the general messages of the Bible without you guys. You are truly doing the Lords great work! God bless the Bible project!
I love how this video brought out that Ecclesiastes and Jobe are exceptions to the rule. Because Proverbs is not promises but guides. That is so insightful.
Your summaries are filled with structure, and each one gives me something new to think about in my Bible studies. All of the lines separate each group of pertinent info. Thank you for posting.
As I am reading through the Bible, these videos have given me amazingly clear insights that provide a foundation for each chapter that I have not had previously. I also marvel at the way in which the videos are presented and realise the love, dedication and hard work that goes into their production.
Thank you so much and God bless! 🙏🙏🙏
This project is just picturesque and poetic . My hat's off to the makers of this series. God bless you.
*I love this series that you created*
God bless you :)
I love how the books of the Bible are explained and drawn. The voice and detailed drawn is absolutely the best ! Thank you. I will recommend to all Bible students that I know
Proverbs is my all time favorite book of the entire Bible.
Thank you, I am on chapter 11 of proverbs. I literally read one a day. And i have subscribed to your channel, because I was blown away at how clear your presentation was. Thank you so much for this very kind service. My Bible is a King James version, with very antiquated English, that gives me a lot to decipher. but I do love the quality of my bible, it has beautiful paper, is solidly built, and has Jesus's words in red letters. It is a tactile treasure worth beholding. ANYWAYS, i look forward to seeing more of your enlightening work.
This is so well done and it is a treasure, so glad I found it. I really think I looked at Proverbs as Promises and have never seen it broken down like this. Thanks for you work. I know the Lord will be blessed by it.
Glory to God for this word!!!
❤❤❤
I am actually using some of this for a presentation I am doing for a college class on spiritual formation. I just got started with learning about the Christian faith, the Bible, etc., but so far, this has been more helpful than a lot of my professors in helping me understand the Bible!
I bless the Name Of The LORD ALMIGHTY gor such wisdom He has given you guys! I pray for such wisdom and understanding to pursue my God given purpose and destiny ALLELUJAH AMEN 🤗💥👑🙏
I read Proverbs on a daily basis. Amen.
Proverbs is an awesome book of the Bible. Every book of the Bible has many good points that we can apply to our own lives, but the book of proverbs is literally one good point after another. I love it....
Praise Yeshua!!!
🙏✡🕎🦁
@Jon Bird my dad goes to a christian jewish church. Its literally inside someones house. Around 40 people attend, they take turns in washing eachothers feet and wiping them dry with a towel, just as Jesus washed Peters feet.
@Jon Bird i can sort of understand where you're coming from. Personally myself, i dont go to church. Most churches these days are full of false prophets and its all about collecting tithes and so forth 💲💲💲💲💲💲💲. Very little to actually do with worshiping God. Look at the apostles, none of them got around with pockets full of money did they?.
Your videos are a blessing. For a teenage new Christian with a pretty short attention span and brain not yet ready to process the intricate writing of the Old Testament, this is great. I find it easier to read the New one for some reason :)
God bless you on your journey!
How did I not find these earlier? The simple open perspective sheds new light on everything I read now and I watch these repeatedly.
I am doing research on wisdom literature and you guys are so on target. Thanks so much for your work and careful attention to history and theology.
My one stop bible resource. I am a new christian seeking this kind of resources. Seek and one shall find!!! I am so happy....Thanks!!!!
You guys are such a blessing to millions. Millions! Outstanding work! Thank you so much! I know this is God called, you answered, and are nailing it out of the park! ❤🙏❤
This is crazy. God has been screaming at me to read the book of proverbs. It’s been so heavy on my heart because I’ve been struggling with so much of what the wisdom this books brings. I watched this video just to hear what it’s all about and just wow. I need to read this for myself. I truly believe God has been telling me to read this.
My wife listened to this during her workout last night. She found it soo profound that she insisted I check it out.
These clips surely make reading the Bible fun and memorable. Thank you, God is your only reward
You are a blessing to me
You have been guided by God's spirit to make these videos
This is so making life easy when studying the Bible 🎉❤
Thank you for doing this. Im 34 and did NOT grow up in any church. Ive been to a few in my life. I live in the bible belt and in my teens through 20's I always stayed away because of the "southern baptist" and the judgement i would feel the few times i went to a church. Which isn't their fault. My father died August 3rd 2023 and I have learned so much. I ended up here this morning (its 8:54am eastern time here) because I walked into my apartment and there was a preacher on TV and he said something about a guy named Job that struck me....I looked up Job and ended up here. Thank you
These videos, the explanation (and the awesome illustrations) are just amazing and help so much. Thank you all 🙏
These is the best way to utilize technology. Thank you for not wasting what God Almighty has allowed men to develop. Praise God Almighty! Hallelujah!
The book of proverbs is my favourite book 🙏🏾💗
My friend the godfather of my daughter have told me a million times "don't simplify things life is complex" and then I see this proverb that says "life is too complex for simple formulas" I'm blessed by God for having him as a friend and as family
Wow I'm shocked how many languages this are being translated. I remember when I first found The bible project didn't had in my language (Portuguese from Brazil) and I couldn't share with some people I would love, cause they wouldn't understand. God really has blessing you guys. I'm so happy for it. I hope ppl can spread it around the world cause you deserve it. It's an amazing work and please keep it up 🥰❤
I wanna thank the creators of this series because i am autistic and the bible always came off so confusing to me and these maps help me understand so much better thank you creators
You are doing the lord's work. March forward my friends.
hosted a youth rally at my church and your youtube videos helped gain valuable insight to help the youth!! thank you
And who could ever dislike this masterpiece!!!???
The Fear of the Lord is the BEGINNING of Wisdom is the most undervalued and under preached concept in the Bible.
Understanding and appreciating the depth and length God has gone to so that we might be creatures with a mind is just breath taking and something to be marveled at every day.
He could have chosen to make you a rock instead! :)
When we truly understand this we understand how to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.” And then there is no pain, suffering, oppression that anyone can inflict upon you because God is TRULY first in your life.
I love the attention to detail, both in the spoken word, and in the animation. Have showed a couple now to my congregation (Yorkshire, UK) and apart from a couple of the older people missing a few words because of the accent, they have really enjoyed the way the information has been put across. Thank you.
An amazing piece of literature inspired by God's brilliance. God bless you and your ministry!
A great benefit to start your day. Amen
So true.👍
Thiz book of proverbs will make me feel so happy and right and good to be chosen....😍😍🙏🙏🙏praise the Lord fir wisdom....😍😍😍
You guys are brilliant. I recently studied the book of proverb for the first time and discovered the truth, as you guys describe it. Thank you so much for this project!
I read all of proverbs yesterday and it’s life changing!
Beautiful!! You guys are such a blessing for the entire world, helping to spread the bible to people.
Thank you Lord and Savior for the bible project!
I love your videos. Every time I watch them I learn something new and come to realizations I never had before things that I missed while reading the Bible
First book of the bible I read, I was in tears and hooked to read all, I want to find all the secrets and write them in my heart ❤️
Whaw! There is no book like the bible, I am astonished. I was so scared to read it before now its just gr8! I wish I could download the bible into my brain all at once.....:)
I loved this video as it has really helped me take many things from the the different chapters and how to apply them to my life. I’ve noted down many things on the video and this will for sure help me take practical decisions into my everyday life as Gods wisdom teaches, AMEN‼️
I never made a comment on anything online, but this is truly amazing work, well-done guys and I am a big fan of you!!!
God bless you!!
This is SO WELL DONE! I love learning like this. I tended to gravitate to the later psalms automatically. Now I know why.
These are great! A bit of a crash course/guideline that will help when you read the books for yourself. Keep them coming ☺
2 Timothy 3:16-17
All scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness so that the servant of God may be throughly equipped for every good work.
Let us never forget that the Word of God is infallible and it is the God breathed truth. It cannot be altered or compromised on.
THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH brothers John & Tim!!!
Really helpful commentaries coupled to FANTASTIC animations. Really appreciate your hard work👍👍👏👏😊😁
Hi let me invite you to watch my animated bible history! God bless you 😃
Just finishing reading the book of proverbs and Ecclesiastes. It has taught me so much that I did not know.
I’m here because 3 years ago I found an open bible in the train. I was becoming more distant to god at that time. I saw that it was opened to proverbs. No one was around I took it with me. I want to know what it meant because I was going through a lot at that time. I’m finally doing my research.
I started reading the bible all thanks to this series
I struggled so bad with scornful people that proverbs talks about ..it really helped me …I always sensed something wicked about thoses types…like they laugh at things we should b more compassionate about …I grew up around a lot of slimeballs ..and I’m desperate for better friends
God bless you, servants of the Lord. Thank you for this amazing work.
These overviews are very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks so much for this my thick skull needs things broken down with drawings
Kevin Ho Lolol
Thick Skullitis must be a common condition. I have a bad case, but this series is a great remedy.
MEEE TOOO!👍😄🐈✝️
Hey, the Lord knows your trying, we all start somewhere! God Bless you.
Don’t declare you have a thick skull decree you can listen clearly and Intake that knowledge ❤❤
Thank you for this ❤️ I got excited reading the scriptures because of your overview ❤️😍
i love your work. so well done. the graphics and animation is so engaging. i just love it .
Thank you so much! Your videos help so much in the study of the Bible. I honestly would be bereft without them. God bless your work.
God bless you guys.Thank you so much
i know it’s been many years since you guys posted these videos but i want to thank you
I'm very happy I started this plan. I love this channel. Please keep it up!😊
I cannot thank you enough I've asked people to help me with Proverbs and very beginning part I haven't got the right answer but I got the right answer from you and you don't know how much I appreciate it thank you very much
These videos are so useful - interesting AND informative!
Please my friend
I'm just commenting on a random video but i got to tell the Bible project team thank you for making even the "boring" Books in the Bible interesting by sectioning them and giving a summary to it, telling me exactly what to expect and understand things in a much better way. THANK YOU.
This is so awesomely illustrated!!! Thank you and may God continue blessing you!
