I can’t wait to show my kids these videos and teach them about God (they don’t exist yet lol)
God is the past, present and future bro. In other words, when you are wanting someone, have faith that what you want/need, God already delivered and gave it to you. It’s just the matter of when.
@@michaelalbizures that’s what I like to say. “God already made it happen, time just hasn’t caught up yet”
@@jeanlucdecoster it’s up to you weather you’ll see it tomorrow, a year or (hopefully not) a decade ya know
@@michaelalbizures well it wont be tomorrow it would have to be at least 9 months... but I'm trying with anyone so it'll be a little while haha
this made me laugh. Don't worry, the kids will come, in Jesus' name, Amen!
The best things I’ve done are between me and my GOD, I can still do more and aspire for it but JESUS made it clear…GOD cares about our motives, why we do what we do, why do we say what we say, etc etc….so let us praise the LORD instead of seeking the praise of people and the increase of our own pride.
It is just AMAZIIIIIIIING! Thank you!
Thank you for your encouragement! We are so happy that we can be a resource for you.
What a great series! thank you so much Bible Project... Can you tell me how many sessions there will be to complete the series please?
I have a question. The intermittent fasting that is so popular. Is this worldly because it does not include prayer and/or because it is short repeated fasting?
Jesus is One of the most influential people of history...? More like THE MOST influental.
I would argue that Jesus actually followed his own advice here by praying privately the vast majority of the time. It wouldn't make sense for his disciples to ask him how they should pray if they see him doing it all the time.
In examples of Jesus praying, he usually steps away (like in the Garden of Gethsemane).
Can’t wait!
I admire how you handle controversial topics with respect and open-mindedness. It encourages healthy discussions.
They're just simplifying things Jesus already said but are often misunderstood
Exactly!
@@jedidiahalbara4774for sure!
Please pray for my brother Kenneth. He has been diagnosed with depression in the past but is now suffering from psychosis which can lead to schizophrenia.
Please pray that God would heal him from all mental disorders, release him from any demonic opression and fill him with the Holy Spirit.
In the name of Jesus Christ, amen!
Amen! Praying things are getting better 🩷
Amen
I might have a suggestion for you since I was in similar situation in the past. In my case, I have bipolar, which showed signs of depression first then developed into full-blown mania with psychosis. I suggest you check him up to psychiatrist before it's too late, because it can be dangerous for both your brother and your family. I'm happy to help if you have further question.
Please Lord, give Kenneth your peace. Heal him from his own thinking, and set him free from rumination. You know his heart, so you know what bothers him. Amin.
Keep him practice gently yoga with qualified teacher when he feel the better doing the day and everyday. Yama and Nijama is like two blocks of 10 condemned. I had the same diagnosis twelve years ago but right now my doctors doesn't know at all when it is with me. 🥰 Let the God bless your brother and you.
Your channel played a big role in me finding Jesus. I’ll be forever grateful.
Me too💕😘🙏🏼
Me as well 🙏 amen
Praise God for this! That’s encouraging to hear.
Me as well
Yes!
As a Bible teacher to children, the Bible project helps me to teach in ways that they understand. As an adult, the Bible project helps me to better understand the Bible. Two of my professors (Spiritual Renewal and Intro to Theology) used the Bible project videos. I LOVE Bible Project. May God continue to bless you all!
Amen.
This gives me Pixar or Disney! I would live to see Bible Project come to Theaters!
I hope not. Disney is an evil corporation. Look it up do your research. God bless
We can all crowd fund something like that!! 💕
Awesome idea, similar to story telling in other countries, giving biblical principles in a non confrontational way. People being taught without being aware of what’s happening!
I think you meant to say that you would love …..
I wish Bible Project was on the Disney Channel etc. Segments like "Schoolhouse Rock."
THESE ANIMATORS ARE SO GOOOD OMG!!! They help alot with visualization, new subscriber!
He wants us to be public with our Faith, but not to use it solely to get attention.
This video explains a lot and why I always feel uneasy in some churches that are showy. I feel like our devotion to god is private , this isn’t to say you can’t do it in public but your intent shouldn’t be for attention from others .
I too do not like "showy" churches, but I will say that because the world is full of so many different people, there will be a person who is drawn to the church that is more like a stage. Hopefully they will meet God there.
Always a blessing! Watching from Kenya 🇰🇪 East Africa!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! We are so happy that we can be a resource for you.
Me too from Kenya
Me too, but Nigeria, west Africa
I'll never stop saying this : THE ANIMATIONS ARE GOLD 😭✨✨✨
Thank you for your kind words! We appreciate you and your encouragement today 🩵
I was so excited for this video I’ve been waiting since it first began to premiere! But it exceeded my expectations beautifully, this video is just so so incredible, I can almost feel Gods love and wisdom as I watch. I can’t thank you enough Bible project, your animation team and your hardworking details that go unnoticed, what you’re doing is so meaningful and so important and you have really helped in my relationship with God. I can’t thank you enough for what you’re doing. May God bless every single one of you. ❤️
I love this series! As a kid, my uncle got me a bible. I didn't know where to start, so he bookmarked the sermon on the mount in Matthew. I started reading at home and couldn't put it down.
Love this so much, prayers to all and everyone that continues teaching the Lord’s word ❤ Amen!
Matthew 10: 27 What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs
They did say that you are to “express your devotion, just do it in creative ways so you don’t wear God’s love like a trophy”. Please watch the whole video before trying to show you know better
@@christyannie83 "Do not rebuke a mocker or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man and he will love you." Proverbs 9 Love you sister
0:34 this is basically our culture, esp on the social media
Isaiah 54:13
And all thy children shall be taught by the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children.
Rose, you’re a genius 🤩 I love your story about behind this story and your vision regarding the colors 🙌🏻 brilliant job, thank you for being part of this amazing team at Bible Project 🙌🏻💙
1:53 I love the added detail of the merchant being uncomfortable with all the praise and promotion. It perfectly conveys how easy it is to fall into this particular trap. Even if he didn't mean to advertise himself or make this about him, that's how it happened anyway. And for our modern times? This is, no question, the easiest, unintentional display to walk into.
All Glory to God. Do it for him. Time erases all other efforts but Gods love is eternal. That is eternal life.
“Jesus knows that His followers will be most effective in the world when they care the least about their social standing. Because their ultimate goal is to simply know and be known by the God of generous love.” 🔥
Beautifully done.
Jesus lives! ♥️ and is God 🙏🏻 Christ ✝️ and King 👑
One word: intention
Jesus Christ of Nazareth...
i love jesus hes my lord and savyior have a blessed life jesus gave all of us a gift
God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob bless us all. To all the glory belongs to you forever and ever amen!
God’s evening everyone I hope y’all have had a blessed day
Thank you, Bible project. Great video.
Amen
The apostles and Jesus prayed to Jehovah, what about us? ACTS 4:26 The kings of the earth took their stand and the rulers gathered together as one against Jehovah and against his anointed one.’ 27 For truly both Herod and Pontius Pilate with men of the nations and with peoples of Israel were gathered together in this city against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed.
(We pray in the Name of Jesus.) Jehovah is a form of His name. He'll let you know what to call Him. I think it depends on what it is you need of Him (protection, healing, provision). Jesus called him Abba (Father) in times of intimacy. Or am I wrong?
@@kathygoulden2925Jehovah is a form of the name of who? You’re talking about Jehovah the one who resurrected Jesus?
Your pray to the father the God of Abraham or who?
Acts 5:30 The God of our forefathers raised up Jesus
Acts 3:13 The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our forefathers, has glorified his Servant, Jesus
@@kathygoulden2925 so when people pray they direct their prayer to the one who resurrected that resurrected Jesus or people don’t truly know who he is ?
I’m so blessed by this! And by the community of Christ!
Lord, return our hearts to simple love.! We love You!
I am an adult and i love these videos. They tell of the bible in simple and understandable ways. I wish a lot of preachers did as well as you. Bless you.
Virtue signalling vs. having virtues
❤🎉🥳🎊🌬️🙏🎁👫🗝️'s 💪 As Descendants of Abraham I'm in agreement with all Believers in the Royal Family of Faith according to God's Will and Purpose We Decree and Declare this Prayer is Answered Generationally in Jesus Name for His Name Sake Amen 😇🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🔥🙌🙌🙌🙌🔥💡 All Praise Honor and Glory be to God Our Father 💞 His Eternal Love Protects Us Daily!!!
Please pray for my wife. She has filed for divorce and is not mentally well
I absolutely loved hearing about Rose’s creative process and reasoning behind her choices. This is treasure, thank you for all of your hard work ❤
I agree. Listening to you two share the creative process helped me to notice pieces that I really hadn't noticed at first. But seeing them in the total picture gave me that much more of an appreciation for the video. Thank you for creating such an outstanding segment!
‘Jesus knows that His followers will be MOST effective in the world, when they care the LEAST about their social standing. Because their ultimate goal is to know and be known by, the God of generous love.’ 💗
Meanwhile Christian pastors..........
I blamely trust and believe Jesus appa only 😭🙏 5 years don't anyone disturb me please Jesus appa 😭🙏
I love these videos. Thank you
My favorite thing about Our Lord, Is His Humility ❤
The sermon on the mount offers insights into Jesus' life of Sonship, the secret life before the Father.
another day being blessed on the internet 🙏🏾
Beautiful, Thank you Father for the convictions of the Holy Spirit.
I really love God💗
I love love love the animations. I’m a young teen so little kid stuff is too watered down to understand but adult things are very difficult and confusing to me. This is like right in the middle and I love it!}
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. It's great to hear our resources are impacting you in such a meaningful way.
Earth is level and stationary and enclosed, as The Holy Bible describes many times and in detail. See Witsit Gets It and Robot Polisher.
So don’t claim your tax deductions
Matthew 22:21; Mark 12:17.
That was wonderful! Thank you guys for letting us in behind the scenes. God has truly blessed yall!
Love how you guys tackle not only these topics, but also dive in to the etymology and culture contexts of things in the bible. Especially since over time things have been lost and mistranslated.
Also, I have always enjoyed the art/animation for your videos, but the current style you have now is my favorite so far! The 3D papercraft look with the simplified 2D models for when you dive deeper into meanings is incredible and very inspiring. Great job!
I didn’t realize Jesus was giving these statements as wisdom and not as full blown commandments. I think it would be super helpful if you could make a video explaining how to determine when a statement in the Bible is being given as wisdom vs as a commandment :)
Listen to the podcasts on the app where Tim and John work out what goes into the videos.
Ramadan re Matthew 6 CF David Wood & Apostate Prophet PBUH. Lol.
Real followers of Jesus don't show off people that they helped people or do charity for the attention of society (see Mr. Beast), but do charity and help people in silence/ in private as to exalt the greatness of God Jesus. Generosity don't need approval of the masses but God only.
Amen ❤
This is great for young people or maybe new Christians.
Or those who have fallen away and are coming back in to a relationship with God.
And also for all followers of Jesus… treasure hunters, seeking treasure, new and old
This is great for me and I'm neither young nor new. 🙂
@@knomadicstone7348 How often do you open up your Bible and study it? They're are a lot of reference books that can help you study your Bible daily. They're are also online sites you can use for free to help you study it
Thank you, really enjoyed the director discussion at the end. The thought gone into lots of aspects of the presentation. Please do that again :)
This video is incredibly insightful! I appreciate the focus on motives behind giving, praying, and fasting. Let’s strive for authenticity in our devotion to God!
Thank you for blessings my spirit this morning 🙏🏿
We are happy to be a resource for you 🩵
This is one of my favourite preaching channels, it feels safe and so logical and it feeds my soul and I learn more about Jesus! It speaks the truth!
Thank you so much for this! This is what I needed to see.
Y’all’s animation came along way ima watch any thing y’all drop with these visuals brothers !!!
Tim & Jon thank you for all that you do and how you explain the bible so that I can understand it better and grow my faith and relationship to God
I’m truly blessed by The Bible Project. The Bible is shown in a new way that I can’t stop tuning in to watch, read & listen.
It's easy to turn your intimate with God to get public praise 👏🏽 confirmation on my thoughts 🙏🏽 😢about this. What we do in private, he will reward YOU! Thanks for sharing these quick short videos enough is said for me to understand.
So beautiful. Praise God.
Christ bless you and thank you
This was beautiful. Love the dance elements
Absolute treasure to be able to see this content!
Great animation and art. Your voices are kind and inviting, and your words are filled with knowledge and wisdom. Thank God for the work He is doing through you.
What program do you use to make your videos?
Thank you so much for your obedience and excellence. I have been so blessed as a visual learner.
I love the new art style, as well as the teaching style. It looks amazing. And I think I needed to hear that message...
The image showing man's union with God in the begining with the music and your words was very moving. Truly lovely! Thank you very much for making this series! May God keep you in His Grace!
This is a very good msg on how to do what the Lord wants us to do. To serve Him privately, so He can teach us humility and destroy our pride. ♥️
You are a gift to the world!
u guys make the most beautiful videos
Love this! And the 'behind the scenes'. Thanks for your content and for sharing the process. I've been so blessed by your resources.
I like how Jesus has a bracelet on.
I so enjoyed your video so well explained
Thank you for your encouragement! We are so happy that we can be a resource for you.
aww🥹🥹 the best channel & the best video on RUclips 😇 bless & peace to the world. Huge thank You BibleProject 💕
This is the best RUclips channel alongside Expedition Bible, followed by Truth Is Christ and Witsit Gets It.
I am a teen and this will be my first time watching this. I can't wait to watch this because i will be able to understand it.
who is excited for this
Jésus punishes me all the time, I get baptized and accept him as my savior... But I have problems over problems, and he doesn't even respond to me, it seems like he doesn't care about my situation, he knows how impatient I am, but keeps humiliating me, like I killed someone...
In my pain, I said, it was a mistake to create me, he should let me be where I was before my creation, enough is enough I am really unhappy in this world, I would like not be here, I would like to not be born, but the problem is he is all the power, he can do everything he wants, and I can't escape his power, he'll destroy me, and he is just looking at me suffering without doing anything... I am finished
I understand what you’re describing. Praying for you and other believers now for His love, peace and grace to meet you through divine messengers. Jesus we know nothing is impossible for you.
Praying He cleans our hearts and minds to understand and receive His love and share His love with others. And strengthens us during our time of testing.
He sees you he loves you.
Have you read the book of Job?
The life of Jesus is similar to this story. Job was a good man and loved God and God allowed him to suffer, be mocked, experience great loss. Job was the first book I read in the Bible and it really spoke to me. The most strong beautiful faithful Christians I know experienced intense periods of despair (one even attempted suicide). The torment for her lasted four years. I did not know her during this period of time but know her now and the love and faith has helped MANY!
Praying protection, provision
blessings and peace for you in the name of Jesus 🙏🙏🙏
Study the Scriptures, there are answers in there.
None of us are "good". Only God is good.
We have fallen short but He loves us and provides for us what we need, trust in Jesus! 🌠
Read the Book of Job. It will give you new perspective and if you want to talk to God read Psalms.
Trust Jesus and read His Word don't let satan to stop you.
This was very moving, thank you for treating the material with such care. God bless
Wow! People are actually starting to read Jesus Words! Jesus never advocated church. That was a Paul thing. Christians really should be called Pauline’s. It is Paul they follow..not Jesus. 😊❤
2 Kings 6:24-29
Now it came about after this, that Ben-hadad king of Aram gathered all his army and went up and besieged Samaria. There was a great famine in Samaria; and behold, they besieged it, until a donkey’s head was sold for eighty shekels of silver, and a fourth of a kab of dove’s dung for five shekels of silver. As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall a woman cried out to him, saying, “Help, my lord, O king!”read more.
He said, “If the Lord does not help you, from where shall I help you? From the threshing floor, or from the wine press?” And the king said to her, “What is the matter with you?” And she answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give your son that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’ So we boiled my son and ate him; and I said to her on the next day, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him’; but she has hidden her son.”
This is such a great video.
Thank you for your encouragement! We are so happy that we can be a resource for you.
The faith walk isn't as straightforward as one would think 🥲 that is why, i guess, we need to ask God for guidance, discernment, wisdom and knowledge.. right?? I was born a Christian, but i technically don't practice my faith as i should because i never know if I'm doing something right (like praying, or worrying but calling it a prayer🙈) but these videos are so warming to watch. Thank you BP team! God bless you all 🙏🏾🤍
I wouldn’t worry about practicing your faith “as you should”… if you want to know God, or even want to WANT to know God, I think that’s how you know you’re on the right track. :) A verse that’s comforted me recently is from Revelation 3:20. My version reads: “‘Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends.’” In Jesus’s own words, he reminds you and I that if we hear his voice and let him into our hearts, he WILL enter. Another great verse is Acts 17:27-28.
@@skyeplant4373 😭thank you!!! 🤍
Agree with the above comment. I would add John 15. Jesus is the vine, we are the branch. I go back to that chapter often. Hope it helps you as well.
Take it easy on yourself. The Lord is merciful. Sincerely do your best, from your heart, so that The Lord can use you properly. Remember, Jesus already paid for our eternal salvation on the cross!❤
There is no right or wrong way to pray. Prayer is just your very own communication with God. Would you ask your best friend if your talking right or wrong?
"A close intimate relationship?" It's not much of a "relationship" when one party never communicates back or shows themselves. That's not a relationship. Its just praying to a sky wizzard that isn't there. And don't give me this crap about "God is speaking, you're just not listening." 😂 Enough already with the apologetics. Your imaginary God is not communicating with you.
The Three Pillars of Jesus! Thank you for continuing to reveal the refreshing Jewish faith of Jesus.
Just simply, a BEAUTIFUL and GOOD teaching~
"Jesus of Nazareth, one of the most influencial people in history"... No. He was, is and always will be THE most influencial person in history because He is God in the flesh, coming to earth in human likeness to save His creation. While I enjoy your videos, to say that Jesus is only one of anything is totally misrepresenting His Kingship, Lordship and Magesty. He is above ALL things and ALL people. I sincerely hope that you will correct this. It is very, very misleading.
❤❤❤Tạ ơn Chúa Giêsu Kitô , Ngôi Hai Thiên Chúa đến muôn thuở muôn đời❤❤❤Alleluia.❤❤❤❤
God isn’t even the real name of the creator of the boundless universe. If you expect me to believe that in biblical times, when they spoke Hebrew, Greek, or those languages of the time, they said, “God, God lama sabachthani?” You’re just as ignorant as believing Jesus is God.
