Jesus didn't take strength or pride in death whatsoever... that's a very false interpretation of this sacrifice... it was a demonstration of how evil this manmade world truly is, for everyone to see, crucifying an innocent man who came to the poor and sick, sat with them and healed them whilst the evil ones who claim to be holy sit in their temples and talk down to the people from their wealthy seats, and then deny God in His very sight and crucify Him! That's a hell of a world we live in. Open your eyes! It was a revelation of who the evil ones truly are in this world, it was a gift of heaven called discernment between whats truly good (God) or evil (devil)! And many of you follow and idolize the evil ones as we speak and let them have power over you and your families despite Jesus' timeless self giving sacrifice!
@theplacebeyondthelies2429 yes but through his sacrifice was he not made strong? Did he not claim victory over death. The quote did not say he was prideful or boastful in this. It just stated the fact that through Christ Jesus, death was defeated.
God IS life, there is nothing to be "stronger than"... life isn't stronger than death, nor is death stronger than life... people need to overcome their own earthly feelings such as the fear of death... as Jesus said: you are what overcomes you! this doesn't mean jumping from skyscrapers and expecting to stay alive.. this means telling the truth, using the sword of the spirit, still being wise in action, even if or until evil people on earth may come to kill the body on earth to stay in power on earth@@X0ying0X that's the true message, the crucifixion is a demonstration of the evil in this world on one side, and on the other side it represents the glory of Go(o)d! And it's the spirit that marches/lives on in each of us who believes in God and sees the glory! Crucifixion is a very sad and brutal thing, there is nothing to take pride in that makes you carry cross necklaces around your necks before your chests! It's called "chest" as in treasure chest! Because it's in the heart! Not what you wear before it! And so if people feel the need to carry wooden crosses about for everyone to see, they aren't truly in the heart what they represent to the public, an image that they create so to make others believe they are when they're not! And the whole catholic organization works in these pagan ways! Again, God sees your heart! Noone needs to prove it to the people, in fact, your actions will prove it, not the idol symbols you cling to! And if people say well I can be both in the heart and wear those symbols they are deceivers just as much! Because they deceive people into believing they need to do the same: carry wooden crosses around their necks... there is nothing you need to add to your body if the spirit is truly righteous! Your confidence shall come from the spirit, not from carved idols and wearing women's cloaks, drinking from golden cups and the list goes on!
Made me cry! Love the image of the person RUNNING towards Jesus in the city at the end of the video. Thank you for articulating our hope so beautifully.
be careful with this.. it pleases the eyes more than the ears.. there are a few false subtle statements while mixing scripture with nice sounding interpretations... scripture isn't something to be freely interpreted... scripture is used for reproof and study word for word. Stay close to the word and you will know the truth. And the truth shall set you free! Not because you feely interpreted the words but you clearly understood them as they are. Every parable of Jesus is carefully chosen. Every word has a reason. Adding more words, as interpretations and new age translations often do, leads to a lot of misunderstandings and false claims, some say it's the d(evil) twisting the word of Go(o)d.
As a worship leader, you hear a lot of things about the “theology of worship.” I would love a video or series on worship. You guys have helped me share biblical truths in my ministry. Thanks so much!
I don't know if I could do what they did. Wasn't it custom in the OT that the worship singers would go out first in battle before the army? I think I would start going flat when the arrows started flying out at me! Maybe I got it wrong here. Can you give a little clarification on this? Thanks, Len PS I also think of the freedom and abandonment in their worship singing. Miriam beating her tambourine and doing a little Tina Turner for the crowd. They really just let it out!
I just want to say thank you. I'm trying to reignite my faith in God. A part of me knows he is the truth and the way. I used to be a dedicated follower and have now fallen for the evils of sin. But with resources like this and my own determination, I know I can find my place with God again. Please pray for me and others struggling in faith. Life is futile and meaningless without God and living in despondence is not the way God had wanted us to live or indulge in simple pleasures. He wants us to cherish his commandments, the gifts, and his son who rose from the dead: Jesus Christ
Wow ! You are on the right track. Remember the story of the Parodical son. Luke 15:11- . Learn to pray , learn God’s Word , learn to cry , learn to believe , … Praying for you. 🙏🏼🎶
The image of the old man crouching in fear only to find Jesus behind him is one of the best images you guys have ever made. So thoughtful and emotional. Beautiful
I am so grateful for the BibleProject and all of the creative and academic and supportive staff that gets these message out to the world. This video for the City has such vibrant and effective artwork and narration. I learned so much from joining the podcasts and the video helped to coalesce the concepts that were discussed. I look forward to going back and listening and watching again and am committed to helping build God's garden city here on earth
When I enter a low season of sadness, depression or find myself in need of encouragement to keep going or keep fighting, I rewatch this video. Thank you Bible Project. God has used you to bring knowledge and joy and fulfillment to my life in bridging the gap between God’s Holy Word and my inadequate understanding at times. God bless you guys and may He continue to minister through your project for many many years to come.
How do you guys reveal such depth and insight whilst presenting things in such an accessible, entertaining way?! This must be Spirit led work! BRILLIANT ✝️
To understand how they reveal such depth, you should listen to their podcast where they discuss what and how to build the next video. They have hours of discussion. I enjoy listening with sound proof headset while mowing my large lawn.
I am so grateful for TheBibleProject. I have attended church my whole life but it wasn’t until I found TheBibleProject did I begin to understand the Bible. I’m on my second year of reading through the Bible with your app, have watched countless videos, listened to & love the podcasts, & am presently in the middle of taking my second class. You are a God given blessing in my life. Thank you isn’t near enough.
Thank you Bible Project. I never read the Bible now I do. God bless you both and all people behind for bringing the Bible alive. Gods Holy Word. 🙏🏻 📖📿✝️🇦🇺
I love the Bible project so much! It has been life changing for me and my Christian walk. I will always make it my duty to support this project! Love you all & what you all do! ♥️
The podcast was fantastic! I continually go over your podcasts … learning and unlearning and relearning…layer upon layer. The City add another layer and connect the Genesis to Revelation. I can’t thank you enough for your amazing work in unifying the Bible and helping me understand and look at everything in new Kingdom ways. Thank you. I will continue to support you❤
A brilliant work of love, created by people who love and believe in Jesus, freely given to all of us humans in this world. Thank you for this choice. I choose 👍. Blessings. Geoff.
We are very happy supporters of the Bible Project and just love all of the materials and resources. It has made a huge difference in our life. Thank you!!
Cain locking himself in the city with the monster was such a powerful and clarifying visual! Man tries keep back the monsters without but in so doing feeds the monster within. As Tim would say, "Dude, the Bible!"
Thank you for all the study and wisdom Jon and Tim and the whole Bible Project Team put into the creation of this Video! Thank you most of all for the brilliant podcasts where you shared with your listeners the foundation of this video! God Bless You-all.
So thankful for you all! We love Bible Project videos, podcasts, blogs, all of it. We use it often when working with our youth group. This new video is amazing and the art, as always, is beautiful and so moving. Thank you all!
@@BENJAMINJAMESSMITH2000 They say most astronomers believe in an intelligent designer. I would encourage you to start studying the stars, the movements of the moon and sun-- how it all coordinates with all the planets, where everything is perfectly balanced. We need 4 seasons in order to have food, for example--a time for seeds to germinate, a time to grow, a time to bear fruit for harvesting, and a time to die so that the seed falls again to the ground. This life-cycle is intimately connected with the movements of the sun in coordination with the earth. The wonder of astronomy has led many people to realize the existence of the creator and the sustainer of the universe, who is Jesus Christ. Blessings to you!
This video was phenomenal, I love how with each subsequent video that you guys keep building up the meaning of each individual idea & enriching them in their context with each other. It reminds me of how Hebrew poetry similarly enriches words through constant reiteration of parallelisms, building up the meaning of words & then placing everything exactly where it belongs.
This is absolutely stunning and thought-provoking. Thank you for proving that Jesus’ teachings can be vibrant and compelling rather than droll and dry 🥰
WOW! As a follower of The Bible Project and all the wonderful content y'all put out, THIS video about God's heart for the city is spot on! I shared it with all the staff at Redeemer City to City and we love it! This video undergirds Tim Keller's vision to be a catalyst to cities all over the world growing a gospel centered movement across denominational lines. THANK YOU for helping in your giftedness to support City to City start and strengthen churches in global cities!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMITMENT OF CREATING SUCH INSPIRATIONAL CONTENT ALL RELATING BACK TO JESUS! The City is going to be added to my daily Bible study. I really enjoy these premiers! Your sharing of the Hebrew Biblical language is paramount to understanding the Bible in its context. I soak up as much of your content as I can and I especially like the Classroom which is another feature that I participate in REGULARLY. I have even been considering learning ancient Hebrew because of your ministry. Thank you again for your creative and heartfelt dedication.
Loved the premier! Love to see and hear about the design patterns and thought processes that went into making the video! I know each video is carefully crafted and it was really interesting to get an inside perspective on it. The BibleProject team always does an amazing job of “speaking” through imagery, mood, perspective, color, etc, that really helps the words of the Bible jump off the page in new ways. Thank you so much! Can’t wait for the next one!
Loved it, thanks so much. It was great to hear a little about what the artists are thinking and feeling as they put your words into pictures. God bless you all whether you're in an Earthly City or not. We are all the City of God. Please Lord help us act like it and share your patience and generosity making your city reflect more of your Love.
This has to be one of y'alls best works as an artistic masterpiece. The creative vision was so compelling, from the sound design to the red imagery of evil. Bravo, well done! ---and the story thrilled me. This is the absolute center of the story of God and the Bible.
Such a gorgeous way to preach the King and the Kingdom. I love how I heard so many of my favorite scriptures referenced and quoted here. Thank you for always so beautifully displaying these powerful Bible truths
So tonight Im watching these videos specifically the “How to read the bible “series and it inspires me to open my bible app to do some reading for myself. For those of you not familiar, the app always opens to “the scripture of the day” which is a random scripture that you are supposed to reflect on throughout the day. This was today’s scripture: “All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17 I am always moved to tears when God speaks to me through his word, especially when it’s delivered in a way unexpected like this ❤
I teared up at the end of the video. I can't wait for God's abundance! Thank you Bible Project, I'll be using this video for my church's Sunday Service in downtown, New York City!
Excellent portrayal of God’s plan for us in our cities as His Kingdom comes in & through each of us as believers in Jesus Christ as Lord & Savior! Thank you all for using the gifts God has given you, to explain & elaborate the Bible!!! May His will be done, here on earth as it is in heaven‼️🙏🏼
Bless you guys--everyone at Bible Project. Excellent job on this theme. I love the way this video covers God's plan of salvation from Genesis to Revelation in an engaging way that captures the interest of all from my middle-school and teenage grandkids to adults. It establishes a solid framework for reading the whole Bible, like doing the edges of a jigsaw puzzle first helps fit in the rest of the pieces. You are an important voice for Jesus for our time.
The cinematics and audio are so beautiful it felt like a movie! It was really beautiful because it makes me feel like God works with us. What I mean by that is we make evil cities and he makes cities full of his blessings, he takes our sin and turns it for His good. Ty!
This video is another great one! This video reminded me of a Tim Keller book I read with my church a while ago about biblical understanding of cities and starting Christ's church in city setting 😊 Thank you BibleProject for this video! Praise God for giving you the creativity ❤
This is so amazing! There are so many beautiful Biblical truths illustrated. In Jesus’ City there is abundance everywhere. Less is everything with Jesus and more without Him is nothing. I also like it that God wants to meet us wherever we are and will and pursuing us relentlessly. Beautiful ! God bless you and your ministry at the Bible Project.
Wow! What a breath taking animation demonstrating the power of the gospel, nothing sounds more beautiful or powerful then Gods truth shedding Light through the worlds closed walls (and His Love breaking the shackles of darkness that have enslaved us within the worlds systematic lies) Thank You Father, Jesus & Holy Spirit!
This is timely. We recently discussed Heaven in my Bible Study, and one of the questions we contemplated was 'how do we know we're in heaven on earth'. Explore this idea of the Heavenly city overlapping with earth is an eye-opener and a blessing. Thank you!
WOW what amazing work you all have done. I found you at the beginning of your Bible Project...Life got in the way and lost touch, years later I found you again through my Bible app. Now I'm grateful for your videos and I'm glad to say that I watch them with my kids, so we can ALL learn about our heavenly Father and his loving son Jesus. Not to mention the numerous amount of beautiful stories the bible provides us. God Bless you ALL and Godspeed with your future projects 🙏
Thanks for bringing the story of the Bible to us in such a vibrant way! It helps to hear how you all work through and bring to life themes like the city, showing us God’s intention to restore it with our help, as we trust in and depend on and the grace, and the love of Jesus!
Thank you BibleProject and thank you Jesus for working through these people to share the good news that You love us and want us know You. We give You the glory.
Here in Africa, the gospel is all about healing the sick and performing miraculous acts. Nothing more! No one really cares about the Bible truth and its message for humanity. I have found your work to be transforming and truly inspiring. May God bless you more!!❤💚❤️
This video has really helped make sense of what God sees of our human nature and the cultures we form both with him at the centre and when we don’t include him as central to our security and abundance 🕊️
Loved the premiere, the behind the scenes and the video! Thanks for doing this! It was my first premiere with you but hopefully not my last! I’m also thankful for your monthly prayer update. I pray for you all regularly.
I just discovered The Bible Project because my granddaughter brought home a one page photocopy of the book of Judges (a summary). I am so impressed. Since I was a child, the narrative of Jethro has disturbed me. You guys “nailed” it with one sentence-Israel no longer knows the character of their own God! While the picture shows the thoughts of Jethro-“God demands this!”. I am not in your target audience age group (lots older) but I would like to learn about the prayer group. My thanks go to the creators AND those who bankroll this project and pray for it!
I love when my catagories are broken or redirected... and the theme/concept of the city - remade or valued in light of generosity vs. scarcity has re-catagorized & recalibrated my own strategy for the city. I continue to find these bible patterns stir me to recognize in myself and others our propencity to short-circuit or settle for the man-made counterfeit. Its as if The Values and Standards that God has preset are almost within the grasp of the human experiment - but when we as humankind try and "take" or "make" it on our own without the allegience or patience required to be interdependent on God's timely wisdom - BOOM goes the dynamite - and the experiment unravels. (that is my experience anyway). So now add to me and my experience, my bride, my kids, my family, my tribe, my community my city etc... it just muliplies the sticks of dynamite. BUT - THE TWIST is THAT GOD HASN'T GIVEN UP ON THE CITY - ME, MY FAMILY, MY TRIBE, MY COMMUNITY... The city on the Hill that he designed remains the minority report, BUT it's alternative, and future realization of HIS CITY (heaven on earth) - oh what a day that will be, and I need to preach to myself daily that it is a reality that has already begun...
Absolutely stunning and rich in imagery that captures the elements of the Garden ideal vs the human city in all its potential for good generously and (unfortunately more often) bad self preservation mentality! Enjoyed seeing how the hours of the city Podcast would capture succinctly the key themes in this video…you did it wonderfully!! Thank you BP for enriching my understanding of Gods Word to me and so many others!
Living in a City that is falling to pieces. This video is very real. We are actually praying for God to use us the church to bring life back to our City. Thank you for making it clear. God is good.
I am grateful to God for men like you guys on earth. It gives me so much joy to know that there are people who’s focus still remains to show God’s truth and knowledge to the earth. I keep praying for you all. God will continue to strengthen your works🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️❤️
I always love Bible Project Theme videos, and this is no exception! I also work in theology & arts, so it was great to hear the art director talk through the artistic choices for some of the scenes and hear him explain how the visual medium expresses key elements of the biblical theme.
Thanks to Tim and Jon and all those that make the bibleproject possible. It has really helped me understand the Bible and God's message for His people so much.
I really enjoyed seeing this project from all angles, with the podcast series, now the video, and the BTS chat with your Art Director. Great work team!
I love this app and feel so privileged to have discovered it in its beginnings. As I read through the Bible each year , this app introduces each book to help the reader understand it at a different level. I share it with everyone who will listen. Exciting times we are living. I love this new video- gives a new thought on the term - city. Great job y’all! Oh yeah, I thought Jon was the artist in the beginning- hummm??? Smiles & Blessings my friends -
The Gate of the City that Jesus builds will never be closed in His mighty, ever capable name. May I and my family and friends be part of that great New Jerusalem in Jesus name 🛐❤❤❤
This is such a fantastic and God-breathed video. Thank you all for your hard work in following God's calling and creating resources like this. So good!
BibleProject never disappoints. I enjoyed the visual to complete the podcast series I just completed. I enjoyed the end conversation to understand how the art is considered and the thoughts that determine behind the scenes production. You all are a blessing🥰
so appreciate the behind the scenes and added explanations, thought process, intentions, in and through the video. thank you all so much! excellent work!
I've been saved since 01' and I always love seeing productions like these. They've come a long way since then, but I'm very grateful that channels like these exist. Bible Project and Jerry D Ministries are pretty much my go to at this point.
The teachings of BP has radically changed how I view scripture. My life is continuing to be altered as I learn to interact with the text. Thank you for teaching me how to learn.
Another awesome video!! Your work is amazing. Since I started following you my knowledge and understanding of the Bible has increased dramatically, thank all of you for the work you do
Loved the premiere! I have listened to the podcasts developing the ideas of the city and to see the video and hear Bot explain some of the process is really awesome. Thanks for all you do!
It's great! I especially love how you depict the sin monster. In case you want constructive suggestion, the narrative doesn't sound as conversational as usual, more like reading a script. We love you all, thank you for your ministry, truly changing the world!
I am so thankful for you all at the BibleProject...you are truly a breath of fresh air, for all of us that live and work in these cities - the children of Babylon. Thank you so much for your amazing work!! ♥️ I hope to meet you one day 😊🙏
I really enjoy "behind the scenes" sessions like this. It would be interesting to understand more of the timeline behind the process...we know there were hours of podcast conversations. At what point does art direction get involved? How long does it take to go from ideas to script to storyboard? Is that even the right order? Would love to know more.
I can never thank u guys enough for making those videos! They always have the ability to snap me out of whatever I'm going through and refocus me on the important thing! ❤

So awesome ❤ Love the video...great summary of all the great podcasts on this theme 😊
"Wait you can't become king by letting your enemies kill you"
"Well you can if you are stronger than death "
I got chills with this line.
Yesssssss!
Yes, but Jesus surrendered to death. He was not stronger. In the light of no shadows you can die to every moment, always rising
Jesus didn't take strength or pride in death whatsoever... that's a very false interpretation of this sacrifice... it was a demonstration of how evil this manmade world truly is, for everyone to see, crucifying an innocent man who came to the poor and sick, sat with them and healed them whilst the evil ones who claim to be holy sit in their temples and talk down to the people from their wealthy seats, and then deny God in His very sight and crucify Him!

Abundance vs. Scarcity. Forgiveness vs. Violence. Seeking God vs. seeking good/bad on our own terms. Thank you Bible Project for the wonderful video!!
Great summary!
As a worship leader, you hear a lot of things about the “theology of worship.” I would love a video or series on worship. You guys have helped me share biblical truths in my ministry. Thanks so much!
That's a great suggestion:)
I second the motion
Yess! Me too!!! Great idea, please do this, as I too am on my church’s worship team and would love something like this!
I don't know if I could do what they did. Wasn't it custom in the OT that the worship singers would go out first in battle before the army? I think I would start going flat when the arrows started flying out at me! Maybe I got it wrong here. Can you give a little clarification on this? Thanks, Len PS I also think of the freedom and abandonment in their worship singing. Miriam beating her tambourine and doing a little Tina Turner for the crowd. They really just let it out!

Hey man, I am in the same situation as you. Let's pray for each other! Amen.
@@TestSubjectBlue Thanks for the prayers brother, just prayed for you too, God bless
So thankful for the resource of BibleProject and all the hard work they put into their content. 🚀
it's a little too much for my taste.. something smells fishy here... and no this was not a pun, I actually mean it
I love the fact that all the Bible Project videos point to Jesus at the end
This brought me to tears - such a clear contrast between God’s character of unselfish love and human self absorption
The image of the old man crouching in fear only to find Jesus behind him is one of the best images you guys have ever made. So thoughtful and emotional. Beautiful
Yeah!!
Thank you to all the talented, creative people at the Bible Project. Thank you for using your gifts to share God’s love and Word.
Honestly, though.
I am so grateful for the BibleProject and all of the creative and academic and supportive staff that gets these message out to the world.

Thank you Bible Project. I never read the Bible now I do. God bless you both and all people behind for bringing the Bible alive. Gods Holy Word. 🙏🏻 📖📿✝️🇦🇺
Beautifully done!
My future kids and I will watch this and grow spiritually together
👍 And I hope your kids will hear you telling someone about Jesus. 🙏🏼🎶
I love the Bible project so much! It has been life changing for me and my Christian walk. I will always make it my duty to support this project! Love you all & what you all do! ♥️
We need videos like this for our current generation to understand Bible in a simple way.
The podcast was fantastic! I continually go over your podcasts … learning and unlearning and relearning…layer upon layer. The City add another layer and connect the Genesis to Revelation. I can’t thank you enough for your amazing work in unifying the Bible and helping me understand and look at everything in new Kingdom ways. Thank you. I will continue to support you❤
Thank you so much!
Love learning about the over arching themes like this. It makes the Bible so much more compelling than a rule book!

But God led me back to Him❤
JESUS IS KING!
I love that you don't play it safe by sticking to one artistic style but you keeps growing and changing.😊 this was beautiful!
Thank you for all the study and wisdom Jon and Tim and the whole Bible Project Team put into the creation of this Video! Thank you most of all for the brilliant podcasts where you shared with your listeners the foundation of this video! God Bless You-all.
You realize this is Mormon Bible not Christianity, right?
So thankful for you all! We love Bible Project videos, podcasts, blogs, all of it. We use it often when working with our youth group. This new video is amazing and the art, as always, is beautiful and so moving. Thank you all!
@@BENJAMINJAMESSMITH2000 They say most astronomers believe in an intelligent designer. I would encourage you to start studying the stars, the movements of the moon and sun-- how it all coordinates with all the planets, where everything is perfectly balanced. We need 4 seasons in order to have food, for example--a time for seeds to germinate, a time to grow, a time to bear fruit for harvesting, and a time to die so that the seed falls again to the ground. This life-cycle is intimately connected with the movements of the sun in coordination with the earth. The wonder of astronomy has led many people to realize the existence of the creator and the sustainer of the universe, who is Jesus Christ. Blessings to you!

THANK YOU JESUS FOR THE VIDEOS🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Praise God for the new city. Thanks y’all for the podcast and the creative animated bite-sized meditations on amazing truths.
This video was phenomenal, I love how with each subsequent video that you guys keep building up the meaning of each individual idea & enriching them in their context with each other.
It reminds me of how Hebrew poetry similarly enriches words through constant reiteration of parallelisms, building up the meaning of words & then placing everything exactly where it belongs.
This is absolutely stunning and thought-provoking. Thank you for proving that Jesus’ teachings can be vibrant and compelling rather than droll and dry 🥰
Amazing artistry for God’s glory!! Thank you Bible Project!
Thank you thank you thank you! I contribute monthly to the Bible project and it’s helped me grow so much!!!! ❤
Thank you to all who worked on this at Bible Project! So well done, with God’s direction!
WOW! As a follower of The Bible Project and all the wonderful content y'all put out, THIS video about God's heart for the city is spot on! I shared it with all the staff at Redeemer City to City and we love it! This video undergirds Tim Keller's vision to be a catalyst to cities all over the world growing a gospel centered movement across denominational lines. THANK YOU for helping in your giftedness to support City to City start and strengthen churches in global cities!
this is wonderful, it's not just a video of story telling, it's Bible study! thank you for offering us this tool and visualize God's words.
You will absolutely love my videos on prophet Bradley U-tube
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMITMENT OF CREATING SUCH INSPIRATIONAL CONTENT ALL RELATING BACK TO JESUS! The City is going to be added to my daily Bible study. I really enjoy these premiers! Your sharing of the Hebrew Biblical language is paramount to understanding the Bible in its context. I soak up as much of your content as I can and I especially like the Classroom which is another feature that I participate in REGULARLY. I have even been considering learning ancient Hebrew because of your ministry. Thank you again for your creative and heartfelt dedication.
Loved the premier! Love to see and hear about the design patterns and thought processes that went into making the video! I know each video is carefully crafted and it was really interesting to get an inside perspective on it. The BibleProject team always does an amazing job of “speaking” through imagery, mood, perspective, color, etc, that really helps the words of the Bible jump off the page in new ways. Thank you so much! Can’t wait for the next one!
Loved it, thanks so much. It was great to hear a little about what the artists are thinking and feeling as they put your words into pictures. God bless you all whether you're in an Earthly City or not. We are all the City of God. Please Lord help us act like it and share your patience and generosity making your city reflect more of your Love.
This has to be one of y'alls best works as an artistic masterpiece. The creative vision was so compelling, from the sound design to the red imagery of evil. Bravo, well done! ---and the story thrilled me. This is the absolute center of the story of God and the Bible.
I love how in every episode, you always link every lesson back to Jesus and his kingdom! It's awesome! 😀
So are you ready to tell someone else about Jesus ? 🙏🏼🎶
@@Thruevangelisteyes Amen, brother!
@@timchikura7219 Thanks , may God bless your labor. Rom. 8:1 Rod
Such a gorgeous way to preach the King and the Kingdom. I love how I heard so many of my favorite scriptures referenced and quoted here. Thank you for always so beautifully displaying these powerful Bible truths
Eliza , now it’s our turn to preach the Kingdom. 🙏🏼🎶 Let’s go tell someone else about Jesus.
So tonight Im watching these videos specifically the “How to read the bible “series and it inspires me to open my bible app to do some reading for myself. For those of you not familiar, the app always opens to “the scripture of the day” which is a random scripture that you are supposed to reflect on throughout the day. This was today’s scripture:
“All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.”
2 Timothy 3:16-17
I am always moved to tears when God speaks to me through his word, especially when it’s delivered in a way unexpected like this ❤
Thanks for the encouragement. Now are we ready to tell someone about Jesus ? 🙏🏼🎶 I hope so.
I teared up at the end of the video. I can't wait for God's abundance! Thank you Bible Project, I'll be using this video for my church's Sunday Service in downtown, New York City!
I love watching the videos after listening to the podcasts. So much is crammed in there!
Now Stephanie, we have so much to tell. 🙏🏼🎶 Let’s go tell someone about Jesus.
Excellent portrayal of God’s plan for us in our cities as His Kingdom comes in & through each of us as believers in Jesus Christ as Lord & Savior! Thank you all for using the gifts God has given you, to explain & elaborate the Bible!!! May His will be done, here on earth as it is in heaven‼️🙏🏼
You will absolutely love my videos on prophet Bradley U-tube
Loved the premier with extra content - more behind the scenes! Bot and his teams are AMAZING!
Thank you very very much 🙏🎉❤️ GOD bless you.
Bless you guys--everyone at Bible Project. Excellent job on this theme. I love the way this video covers God's plan of salvation from Genesis to Revelation in an engaging way that captures the interest of all from my middle-school and teenage grandkids to adults. It establishes a solid framework for reading the whole Bible, like doing the edges of a jigsaw puzzle first helps fit in the rest of the pieces. You are an important voice for Jesus for our time.
Hello dear
How are you doing today?😊
I love that you all walkout garden energy by your generous offerings of resources.
The cinematics and audio are so beautiful it felt like a movie! It was really beautiful because it makes me feel like God works with us. What I mean by that is we make evil cities and he makes cities full of his blessings, he takes our sin and turns it for His good. Ty!
6:19 that melted my heart!
This video is another great one! This video reminded me of a Tim Keller book I read with my church a while ago about biblical understanding of cities and starting Christ's church in city setting 😊 Thank you BibleProject for this video! Praise God for giving you the creativity ❤
Yes!! @redeemercitytocitynyc
This is so amazing! There are so many beautiful Biblical truths illustrated. In Jesus’ City there is abundance everywhere. Less is everything with Jesus and more without Him is nothing. I also like it that God wants to meet us wherever we are and will and pursuing us relentlessly. Beautiful !
God bless you and your ministry at the Bible Project.
Wow! What a breath taking animation demonstrating the power of the gospel, nothing sounds more beautiful or powerful then Gods truth shedding Light through the worlds closed walls (and His Love breaking the shackles of darkness that have enslaved us within the worlds systematic lies) Thank You Father, Jesus & Holy Spirit!
This is timely. We recently discussed Heaven in my Bible Study, and one of the questions we contemplated was 'how do we know we're in heaven on earth'. Explore this idea of the Heavenly city overlapping with earth is an eye-opener and a blessing. Thank you!
WOW what amazing work you all have done. I found you at the beginning of your Bible Project...Life got in the way and lost touch, years later I found you again through my Bible app. Now I'm grateful for your videos and I'm glad to say that I watch them with my kids, so we can ALL learn about our heavenly Father and his loving son Jesus. Not to mention the numerous amount of beautiful stories the bible provides us. God Bless you ALL and Godspeed with your future projects 🙏
Thanks for bringing the story of the Bible to us in such a vibrant way! It helps to hear how you all work through and bring to life themes like the city, showing us God’s intention to restore it with our help, as we trust in and depend on and the grace, and the love of Jesus!
Hello dear
How are you doing today?
You will absolutely love my videos on prophet Bradley U-tube
the story of the bible is so coherent and beautiful
Thank you BibleProject and thank you Jesus for working through these people to share the good news that You love us and want us know You. We give You the glory.
Here in Africa, the gospel is all about healing the sick and performing miraculous acts. Nothing more!
No one really cares about the Bible truth and its message for humanity.
I have found your work to be transforming and truly inspiring.
May God bless you more!!❤💚❤️
This video has really helped make sense of what God sees of our human nature and the cultures we form both with him at the centre and when we don’t include him as central to our security and abundance 🕊️
This looks amazing! Thank you BibleProject, you never stop surprising us with wonderful content
Loved the premiere, the behind the scenes and the video! Thanks for doing this! It was my first premiere with you but hopefully not my last! I’m also thankful for your monthly prayer update. I pray for you all regularly.
We appreciate that so much! 🙏
I just discovered The Bible Project because my granddaughter brought home a one page photocopy of the book of Judges (a summary). I am so impressed. Since I was a child, the narrative of Jethro has disturbed me. You guys “nailed” it with one sentence-Israel no longer knows the character of their own God! While the picture shows the thoughts of Jethro-“God demands this!”. I am not in your target audience age group (lots older) but I would like to learn about the prayer group. My thanks go to the creators AND those who bankroll this project and pray for it!
This was so beautifully done!
👍 And we have a beautiful story to tell. 🙏🏼🎶 Let’s go tell someone about Jesus.
The art direction is bananas as usual. The two red circles motif for the eyes of the monster is chef’s kiss
I love when my catagories are broken or redirected... and the theme/concept of the city - remade or valued in light of generosity vs. scarcity has re-catagorized & recalibrated my own strategy for the city. I continue to find these bible patterns stir me to recognize in myself and others our propencity to short-circuit or settle for the man-made counterfeit. Its as if The Values and Standards that God has preset are almost within the grasp of the human experiment - but when we as humankind try and "take" or "make" it on our own without the allegience or patience required to be interdependent on God's timely wisdom - BOOM goes the dynamite - and the experiment unravels. (that is my experience anyway). So now add to me and my experience, my bride, my kids, my family, my tribe, my community my city etc... it just muliplies the sticks of dynamite. BUT - THE TWIST is THAT GOD HASN'T GIVEN UP ON THE CITY - ME, MY FAMILY, MY TRIBE, MY COMMUNITY... The city on the Hill that he designed remains the minority report, BUT it's alternative, and future realization of HIS CITY (heaven on earth) - oh what a day that will be, and I need to preach to myself daily that it is a reality that has already begun...
Glory be to God who sits on the throne in heaven and Glory be to his Son Jesus Christ 🙏🏽❤️✝️.
Absolutely stunning and rich in imagery that captures the elements of the Garden ideal vs the human city in all its potential for good generously and (unfortunately more often) bad self preservation mentality! Enjoyed seeing how the hours of the city Podcast would capture succinctly the key themes in this video…you did it wonderfully!! Thank you BP for enriching my understanding of Gods Word to me and so many others!
You're welcome!
Living in a City that is falling to pieces. This video is very real. We are actually praying for God to use us the church to bring life back to our City. Thank you for making it clear. God is good.
Thank you, BibleProject! Love the video. The interview helped hammer the message home again: it starts in Genesis and leads to Jesus. ❤️
I am grateful to God for men like you guys on earth. It gives me so much joy to know that there are people who’s focus still remains to show God’s truth and knowledge to the earth. I keep praying for you all. God will continue to strengthen your works🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️❤️
I always love Bible Project Theme videos, and this is no exception! I also work in theology & arts, so it was great to hear the art director talk through the artistic choices for some of the scenes and hear him explain how the visual medium expresses key elements of the biblical theme.
Thanks to Tim and Jon and all those that make the bibleproject possible. It has really helped me understand the Bible and God's message for His people so much.
I really enjoyed seeing this project from all angles, with the podcast series, now the video, and the BTS chat with your Art Director. Great work team!
You will absolutely love my videos on prophet Bradley U-tube
I appreciate all of you and you videos, sincerely Thank you Bible project Team.
I love this app and feel so privileged to have discovered it in its beginnings. As I read through the Bible each year , this app introduces each book to help the reader understand it at a different level. I share it with everyone who will listen. Exciting times we are living. I love this new video- gives a new thought on the term - city. Great job y’all! Oh yeah, I thought Jon was the artist in the beginning- hummm???
Smiles & Blessings my friends -
The Gate of the City that Jesus builds will never be closed in His mighty, ever capable name. May I and my family and friends be part of that great New Jerusalem in Jesus name 🛐❤❤❤
This is such a fantastic and God-breathed video. Thank you all for your hard work in following God's calling and creating resources like this. So good!
I listened to the podcast series thankyou everyone, and this extraordinary video ties it all together very clearly.
You're such a gift , thankyou.
BibleProject never disappoints. I enjoyed the visual to complete the podcast series I just completed. I enjoyed the end conversation to understand how the art is considered and the thoughts that determine behind the scenes production. You all are a blessing🥰
You have explained everything so simply that a child can understand. My kids will be here often ❤
I am very impressed. Thanks for letting us see behind the scenes. I now understand how God puts so much effort into the details. I love it.
Hello dear
How are you today?
so appreciate the behind the scenes and added explanations, thought process, intentions, in and through the video. thank you all so much! excellent work!
Los amo mucho en Cristo. Saludos desde México 🇲🇽 ❤
I've been saved since 01' and I always love seeing productions like these. They've come a long way since then, but I'm very grateful that channels like these exist. Bible Project and Jerry D Ministries are pretty much my go to at this point.
Thank you, Bible Project for your amazing videos!
It’s Beautifully made thank you God for using them to share it with us . ❤ great gift for all of us through them . thank you Bible project ❤
So excited for a new Bible Project video. The videos are so amazing. I learn so much snd they are so artistic.
The teachings of BP has radically changed how I view scripture. My life is continuing to be altered as I learn to interact with the text. Thank you for teaching me how to learn.
Another awesome video!! Your work is amazing. Since I started following you my knowledge and understanding of the Bible has increased dramatically, thank all of you for the work you do
Loved the premiere! I have listened to the podcasts developing the ideas of the city and to see the video and hear Bot explain some of the process is really awesome. Thanks for all you do!
It's great! I especially love how you depict the sin monster. In case you want constructive suggestion, the narrative doesn't sound as conversational as usual, more like reading a script. We love you all, thank you for your ministry, truly changing the world!
I am so thankful for you all at the BibleProject...you are truly a breath of fresh air, for all of us that live and work in these cities - the children of Babylon.
Thank you so much for your amazing work!! ♥️ I hope to meet you one day 😊🙏
Marina , are you ready to tell someone the story of Jesus ? 🙏🏼🎶
Can't wait to see the video! :)
I needed to see this today. This was such a blessing. The visual of the tree of life is beautiful and memorable.
I really enjoy "behind the scenes" sessions like this. It would be interesting to understand more of the timeline behind the process...we know there were hours of podcast conversations. At what point does art direction get involved? How long does it take to go from ideas to script to storyboard? Is that even the right order? Would love to know more.
I can never thank u guys enough for making those videos! They always have the ability to snap me out of whatever I'm going through and refocus me on the important thing! ❤
