I can’t help but think how this story mirrors the current challenges we Disciples of Jesus face today. We live in a world of rampant sexual deviancy and injustice to the poor. If you try to proclaim Jesus’ teachings you are “cancelled” or considered weird and old fashioned. The messages of the call to holiness, love and hope are so needed in the world in my heart! Thanks be to God for the Bible Project and clearing explaining this message. It encourages me to read Thessalonians afresh. May God continue to bless your ministry!
When I watch these, I think they would be great for morning Bible studies before families start their day! The illustrations are very cool! Thanks for posting you all!
dude i am not christian and i have a question,you guys have holy spirit jesus and the father(god) right i think there should be like 1 god.if he is god he must be the most powerfull right why he needs others (like greek mythology:zeus apollon hera).MY Question is you guys are praying to jesus but you guys shouldnt be praying to god actually like he is the must powerful i guess? please give some light to me.
@@xanderdupont3270 it’s hard to comprehend but Jesus is God. We praise Jesus because Jesus is a representation of God. Plus, to get into heaven, we have to recognize Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Christians don’t believe in greek gods btw.
@@xanderdupont3270 We believe in the holy Trinity, which includes God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus. The reason that we don’t praise three gods and instead we praise one, is because we believe that these are all representations of God, ex. Jesus was God in Human Form, and the Spirit is God in a Spirit, this is why we have our conscience and guilt feelings when we do something not Christ-Like, God is convicting us and helping us to change our ways to reflect him better. Overall, there are gonna be a lot of things we aren’t going to understand, however Gods reasoning for this is the fact that Gods requires one thing from us. That’s Faith, we must believe without seeing and Trust that he has everything in the palm of his hand and under control.
@@xanderdupont3270 and I know you have that unsatisfied feeling no matter what you do, Trust Me, that hole in your heart is where God should be. Right now, just pray, talk to God because he is your father and listens to every word you say. Humble yourself knowing that you need him desperately because you need a Savior. I need you to understand how sinful you are. And how God erases all that sin if you just develop a relationship with him, that all God wants from you. Pray to God all the time, get into God’s Word, and act as a servant/be an example to all and allow others to see Jesus through what you say and do. I’m praying for you and I pray that you come to know God today. God Bless
I love these illustrations. When trying to share the GOSPEL with someone, these are faithful and true to the Bible. These also help the Christians gain a greater respect for the books of our Holy Bible! Thank you so much. I cannot wait to share this one ! May God bless this ministry!
Hey BibleProject, I want to thank all of you for making these incredible videos! You are a blessing for many who want to read the bible, but struggle after a few pages because it's very hard to read. Speaking for myself, I always had this struggle and wasn't able to make my way through it. You really encourage me to read the bible and the short videos help me to get a better understanding. I can't thank you enough for what you're doing. God bless you and your work!
If you get the gist of what is happening in 1 Thess, it's not cute at all and should be taken this way. They were PISSED and wanted revenge for "those who had fallen asleep" those who were murdered is more accurate, these were their friends who martyred and Paul was warning them to not lash back and let God repay because 70AD was coming (they could not see that but we do) where Jesus would come on the cloud of Judgment and the souls of those dead would be with them as would the imprecatory prayers of those still living at the time. Context context context.
I am sad to confess that I didnt realize how little I knew the Bible, but thanks to these videos and readings that is slowly changing my way of thinking and I enjoy reading first thing in the morning.
I want to give a special thanks to the creator(s) of these videos! Every time I watch these videos I am always blown away with the detail of illustration along with the way you sun up the story in an easy understanding. Every time I finish the chapter in the Bible, I come to one of your overview videos. It gives me a visual representation of what I just read. ❤
Thank you so much for your hard work to do these videos. I teach Sunday School to women in their 50-60s and this helps me so much to put everything all together, and explains so much about each book. I have started listening to the Podcast as well. God bless you!
The artwork makes the message alive and so beautiful. I am totally so very grateful for God's abundant blessings on this ministry. Tears stream down my face when I remember the beginning. Thank You heavenly Father for this awesome ministry. Continued pouring of Your abundant blessing please for Jesus's sake.
Thank you for your beautiful works, in art and words! I can't draw a stick figure that looks good so I really enjoy others who are artistic!! I am beginning a new season in my journey by studying books in the bible. I go to these overviews before I begin each one and it is so helpful- I also read the books many times and write in a journal. This is the start of a new year, 2020 and my spirit is telling me it's going to be quite a year!! People like you really help others in their learning of God's word, THANK YOU and may God bless you always
Just read this today , thank you for making it clear! We have a great and merciful God and thank Jesus for taking our sins. I pray we stay strong is the last days before our Lord comes back And please keep making more videos!
I just finished studying this book and I watching this after really tied up the whole puzzle. These videos are so good, accurate and actually fun to watch. Thank you to the entire team!!! May the Lord increase your work!! 🙏🏽
I love these very much. I am in a New Testament class for school and a separate Old Testament class. I listen to these to ease me into each book we are about to get into. These are perfect. Thank you for sharing.
LOVE the videos. I like to watch them before I start reading a new book ( I watch it little by little) because it gives a great visual and backstory! Thanks for making these videos they are such a blessing. Also great artwork!!!
I found this Overview to convey one of the most beautiful messages of all your videos. It's so well rounded that I believe it can easily reach the heart of the audience. I hope that's true, just like the way it reached mine.
The way I love using these is to watch them before jumping into an in depth study of a book. I have found these to be very edifying and helpful, particularly with Paul’s epistles.
Hello all. I lead a LifeGroup at my church, and our congregation is participating in a 365-day reading plan to complete the entire NT.......5 chapters a week. Our LifeGroup is summarizing each 5 chapters the following Sunday, to compliment and enhance everyone's reading. These video synopsis are perfect for introducing each NT book.....thank you for the style, content, and presentation. Rev. S. W
Watching these videos always makes me excited to start reading the book they discuss. Thanks for the effort your team has put into making them and advancing the joy of the gospel.
Thank you for making it easier for us to understand reading the Bible. What we read makes more sense after watching your videos. May the Lord bless you more.
I like how you break down the books of the bible it helps give a visual of what I read to put together a current meaning so that I can have a more understanding of the bible in itself
Just as like many have said here before, you guys are such a blessing to many for all of your good work for the body of Christ! Thank you so very much for everything and God bless you abundantly!
I read this book Corinthians 1, for about the 6th time and a cant believe for the first time it totally jumped out at me at just how ahead of it's time it was. This was nearly 2000 years ago and Paul speaks in terms of * My brothers and sisters * A husband should respect his wife and a wife do the same * dont concern yourself with revenge and show love instead It amazes me that nearly 2000 years ago, Paul was directing his message of love and Christ to both men and woman, that was absolutely unheard of at the time. It would be 1800 years later before important messages were directed at " My Brothers and Sisters ". What a wonderful letter Paul. God bless❤✝️❤
I appreciate the clarity of 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, which leaves no room for doubt about the condition of the deceased. Verse 13 explicitly describes them as being in a state of "sleep," indicating their lack of awareness, countering some teachings that suggest the departed souls are aware of the living. Furthermore, verse 16 emphasizes the resurrection of the dead in Christ, challenging the notion of their presence in heaven, as their resurrection occurs from the ground rather than being in the clouds with Jesus. This passage unmistakably highlights that we are living souls, not possessors of souls, and that upon death, we remain unconscious, awaiting Jesus' second coming here on Earth.
Im not a Christian. But I enjoy learning about the history of it all. The animated story telling is fantastic. I wish I had this when I was a kid going to Sunday school
1 Thessalonians 4:17 King James Version (KJV) 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
@@affordablecustomehr4845 Well the "Kingdom" will be established after the millennial reign. After Satan is loosed and defeated forever. I don't agree with the post tribulation RAPTURE theory. I believe in the pre-trib rapture. Although people will be saved in the tribulation and millennial reign.
@@affordablecustomehr4845 The last chapters of Revelation speak about the New Jerusalem coming down from heaven. Read the final chapters of Revelations.
I feel so sorry for people who believe there’s a god in existence that would send one of its loving caring creations to burn in hell for eternity just because they didn’t accept him while on earth. If there is a god outside of ourselves and in the afterlife, I like to believe it never would threaten anything with violence and would have so much wisdom and love, it could change any of the worst among us. No fear needed is a true god.
People don't understand that the EARTH is The Kingdom God! Jesus will come and be the King of this EARTH when he returns. Thank you, you guys are one of the first people I've seen on RUclips who understands the message Jesus brought- the Kingdom of God. 🙌🏽
I love the image at 3:34 of the Thessalonians all beat up with black eyes, crutches, arm in a sling, and stone being thrown at them, but they're smiling and saying "We're going strong!" True grace under persecution ❤
Talk about providence! I was spending some time meditating over that image. I found the image strange, and I had to take some time to process it. First, kudos to the illustrator for not hiding the truth that going through persecution can look like that. Second, we in America (and in the West as a whole) have no idea what persecution is. (Indeed, some people who teach in the name of Jesus falsely say that being Christian is a ticket to a life of ease and comfort!) Third, we need to lean on Jesus so that we can smile if we end up looking like that for His sake. I saw your comment after I was done.
