I love the idea of the bible being explained through elaborate animations, this broadens the audience of people being reached by God's word.
this is it
Exactly, using all of our gifts to glorify God!
God is using you guys for this generation. He used this video to graciously confirm a Word he gave me earlier. HALLELUJAH!
Thank you for your encouragement! We are so happy that we can be a resource for you.
Me too
My Testimony:
Jesus has healed me of my Tourettes I've had since I was young. I was baptized a month ago, and I asked my pastor to pray for something, my tormenting Tourettes. He laid his hands on me, and my family laid their hands on him. It was a bright sunny day, when he started praying, the clouds covered the sun, and a great wind gusted through us, he prayed to rid me of my burdens with the POWER of the Lord; and just like that, I was in control over my own body.
If you are struggling, bring your struggles to God, if you are doubting, bring your doubts to God, if you are happy, shout with joy to God! It is truly an honor, not to speak about myself, but to speak about Him! Praise Jesus and our merciful loving God!!
Glory be to God thanks for your testimony ❤ God bless you
God healed me too through prayer and faith God bless you and enjoy your new freedom 😊
Im so happy for you!
Wow! This should work wonders in a children’s cancer ward.
Amen!

Thank you for your blessing! We are so grateful to be able to share this work with so many and could not do it without people like you!
Truth, Grace, & Divine Favor leads one to Christ. I’m sure you mean well but luck has no place in the matters of God. You have a very blessed day brother

@@OLskewL Grand idea. Thank you.
Beloved it's all by the grace, will and love of Jehovah. ❤ It's a beautiful thing that we get to learn and grow together in this way❤😊
Hello. Could you please pray for me ? I am in pain and pretty much bedridden. God Bless you all.
For it is written that by His wounds we are healed, I pray that you go with this in peace and faith and a testimony of complete restoration of perfect health. In Jesus Name. Amen.
Will pray for you from India
I've looked at your profile, and while it is not for me to judge you, you do seem to spend a lot of time fantasising about white male supremacy, dictatorships, and oppression of people through military force. I hope you heal from what is happening in your heart as much as you heal from you physical ailments.
Prayer from Branson, Missouri
I prayed for you in the Father’s true Name, found in ancient Hebrew biblical scripts. יהרה YHWH spoken Yahweh. In His only brought forth Son’s matchless Name, יהרשע Yeshua !!
"The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in." - Psalm 121:8
4:20 THAT PART!! Trust God as a generous and loving Father and prioritize loving God and Loving others, and you will find that your needs are met!
Not in this time, we are living in the most evil times especially in America
@@InMyBunker Congrats on missing the entire point of the video.
"Each day has enough trouble of its own."
...that is so true...
Let the evil of the day be sufficient unto itself.
There is a whole lot of good, too. For every trouble, God brings a blessing to balance it, I have found. We have to be willing to see it in some way. (If/thens) If this had not happened, then ultimately some other good thing wouldn't have. Maybe it is a kind person we encounter who is smiling at us. Or you meet someone new who needs you, your love, your prayers... Maybe a special cloud formation that is amazing. Maybe it is just getting a good night's sleep. My greatest blessing is that most often I learn a lesson of some kind. I just know, God has a plan, no matter what happens. I prayed a ridiculous prayer last week, and told God I knew it was, but I was praying it anyhow... God certainly could do that, right? I prayed that a spot that they thought was cancer would just disappear when they started the biopsy. Well, it did just that! They had never seen that happen before. They searched and searched! And the results came back negative for cancer in that whole area! But if it had been cancer, I had been there before... well, it was one of the hardest times, but I am still here praising Him. Only He fully knows His plans. I am here to serve and be happy I can, whether in pain, or dancing in my spirit over some good news. Even when I am weeping, I know full well, there is a blessing in it somewhere... "be patient; hold your fork, the best is yet to come."
Jesus loves you. There's always a reason to keep going.
@@scrubbingdoubles8585 amen, Jesus loves you too. Hallowed be the name of God, that lives, forever.

The last line is one of my favourites in the Bible. I worry way too much about success, so every time I hear about the grass and the birds, it’s a breath of fresh air.

notice how they never have an ad in between or at the beginning of their videos... yep they do everything for free while putting in so much hard work to share the teachings of Jesus and the bible! God bless team Bible Project
Thank you for your kind words! We appreciate you and your encouragement today.
Excited, this entire podcast series has been so transformative.
So great to hear! Thank you for being on this journey with us!
Yes! Incredibly helpful as a Jesus lover ❤
Seek first the kingdom of God ❤️🙏✝️
It's amazing how much Jesus's words stay consistently relevant even now showing how good our God is even now.
All the glory and honor is His alone! Oh, how I love Jesus.
Lord, America and specifically Atlanta, Georgia needs you Jesus!
I haven’t found a moving video about god after “The prince of Egypt” movie. But your channel is true gold. It has the spirit embedded in each frame. Make me love god more with tears in my eyes

Psalms 147:4-5 King James Version (KJV)
He telleth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names. Great is our Lord, and of great power: His understanding is infinite.
The straight up reading of Jesus’ advice was the cherry on top. After priming the heart for the word.
DO NOT WORRY!
5:32 Is such a simple but powerful frame. It had me tears knowing that Jesus has always been such a tender and helping hand through any troubles we face, I love you so much. And Thank You Bible Project for these videos, you truly are doing his great work! Hallelujah to the highest!!! 🕊 ✝️

I'm excited to see this premiere. I want to begin with the positive. Let's not begin with the negatives.

Wow. I really mean it. Bible Project should release this behind the scenes as a mini-documentary or something. They're really inspiring🤩
Less is more and more is less,the more you give the more you will have.The less you give,the less you will have.Jesus is Lord!❤
I read Matthew 6 literally today, and now we're blessed with this amazing video. Thank you, BibleProject, for all you've done for us and the God's Word ❤
I used to think born again types were crazy, but despite kicking and screaming the holy spirit led me to God.😊once you get it you can't unsee it 😃 its wonderful and opens your eyes to the world. Only a universal compassion, love and humility can feed your spiritual health and that of others. We must give up an existence of individualism and materialism as they are no more than quick fixes for an absence of love, acceptance, peace and connection that lead to ones own suffering and the suffering of others. I feel like i need to post a million flyers with this epiphany! THANK YOU BIBLE PROJECT, you've been a critical part of my journey and my kids love your videos. You reach out to so many of the diaspora!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! Your encouragement truly fuels us, and it's a great joy to be a part of your journey. We are happy to be a resource for you and your family!
This video came at the right time. I was having anxiety about money just last night.
I pray that I can more fully live the teachings from the Sermon on the Mount 🤲🏼
Thank you Bible Project!
Moved to tears once again. Thanks, Jesus. ❤
Being in just one your brainstorms would be a beautiful privilege. I absolutely love how God is using you all. Learning a lot from you, Bible Project
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! We appreciate you and your encouragement today.
This brings the Bible to its core and basic God loves us 😊. Understanding our "stuff " through these shows us how Christ should be the main attention.
Tough journey being unemployed for over a year but I chose to celebrate my family , friends and storing up the right up along my journey😊😊
Thanks so much for taking the time to share your story. It really is tough to be unemployed and for so long. We encourage you to spend time in the book of Psalms. This beautiful book recounts the poetic prayers and laments of God’s people, and we find that it can provide comfort and guidance in many different circumstances.
I'm praying for you today and if there's ever anything else we can pray for, feel free to share it with our prayer team directly at airtable.com/appsack7w8mJfJsKn/shrCF8j6509foubsH
I hope you feel strengthened and encouraged today-God loves you so much.
This message was right on time for me. I recently lost my job and have been so stressed about getting back to work. I try daily. Sharpen the resume. Everything I can think of to get back to work but all I’ve done is stress over it and all that has done is make matters worse
We know how tough that can be. I'm praying for you today and if there's ever anything else we can pray for, feel free to share it with our prayer team directly at airtable.com/appsack7w8mJfJsKn/shrCF8j6509foubsH

*Tears in my eyes*
thank you so very much ❤
This is literally what I prayed for. I thank God that He used this video to help me realize on not clinging to my earthly possessions nor storing up more in here, but to store on Heaven, our real home. Also a beautiful and clear explanation on The eye is the lamp of the body (Matthew 6:22-23). I did not knew that it actually meant about being generous rather than selfish. Thank you God and thank you.
The fact you care about God is all that matters. We are all one in Christ' consciousness.
"The word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Before I formed you (body) in the womb I knew you (consciousness)."
And then God told Jeremiah,
"You (consciousness) must go to everyone I send you (body), and you will speak whatever I command you." (shared consciousness)
In verse nine Jeremiah went on to say, "The Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “Behold, I have put my words in your mouth."
-Jeremiah 1-9
Shared consciousness with the creator means that we are spiritual beings having a material experience and things are only symbols. Symbols we use to share meaning. How else would spirits interact? The things of this world are not at all "real" in a spiritual world. We can be fooled by the tricking our senses. This is what virtual reality is, a tricking of the senses. When VR gets as good as it can ever ever get it will be the unity consciousness that Jeremiah described. The highest reality, virtual or not is shared infinite being(s) perpetuated within an eternal consciousness. One consciousness. Shared. That's who we are. Many people do not realize that the concept of unity consciousness is found in the bible too. It is not only found in other religions like Hinduism and Buddhism. Jeremiah tells us we are all one in Christ' consciousness.

What a beautiful video, I am not a religious man but in all the faith I have I believe that Jesus's teachings are just and right. A vision on the hebrew scriptures meant to enlighten oneself and bring peace.
4:47 - 5:52 Perhaps the best narration of of Matthew 6: 19-24 I've heard. Excellent work guys❤
This is a so deep reflection. Thank you for sharing his video to us. ❤

The passage about the eye being the lamp to the body is such a good verse! Many times we think looking at someone or something is harmless but in reality it's a way to invite darkness into your body.
I just sent this wonderful teaching to some of my grandchildren. It is perfect for young and old alike❤️. Beautifully done.
you guys are bringing me closer to God, thank u so much
May the Lord Jesus bless you more and more..how the Lord's words penetrate my heart and crushing it 😢 Thank you..thank you...
Your works are such a blessing, WORDS OF GOD are delivered through these videos, GOD bless you guys
Thank you! We are happy to be a resource for you!
I really appreciate y'all adjusting language for the cultural divide of Jesus's time period from ours. You're communicating the message in ways I never understood it before (:
That makes us so happy to hear! We are so happy that we can be a resource for you.
The teachings of jesus are truly of God! Notice how jesus does actually command us (not just the rich young ruler) to sell our possessions and give to the poor.
This video appeared on my FYP at the perfect moment, almost as if like a sign from God answering my current situation. Thank You bible project for your works.

This series is already so beautifully produced, and hearing a bit of the process behind making it has given me even more appreciation for every video. Been so blessed to learn about Jesus' teachings, and so challenged as well, got me thinking and wanting to search my own Bible for answers. Can't wait for the next videos!

Jesus lives! ♥️ and is Yahweh God 🙏🏻 Christ ✝️ and King 👑
Not sure if you realise but that is heresy. According to the doctrine of the Trinity, the Son is God and the Father is God, but the Son is not the Father. Yahweh is the Father’s name. Jesus is the Son’s name.
Mind you, I’m not a trinitarian, but that’s the orthodox tradition if you claim to be a trinitarian. The Father Yahweh begat the Son, Jesus Christ.
“But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.” - 1 Corinthians 8:6
@@chronic_daydreamer nope. Yahweh is the name of God, not just the Father.
Isaiah 40:3 LSB
3 A voice is calling, “Prepare the way for Yahweh in the wilderness; Make smooth in the desert a highway for our God.
Mark 1:2-4, 7-8 LSB
2 As it is written in Isaiah the prophet: “Behold, I send My messenger ahead of You, Who will prepare Your way;
3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord, Make His paths straight.’ ”
4 John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
7 And he was preaching, saying, “After me One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to stoop down and untie the strap of His sandals.
8 I baptized you with water; but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
Mark calls Jesus Yahweh.
If you deny the Trinity you deny Christ. Hilarious you call me a heretic when you actually come out and announce yourself as one.

In addition, Jesus accepted worship nine times in the gospels, forgave sins, and commanded His disciples to pray in His name. Jesus never said-as other prophets did-“Thus says the Lord”; rather, Jesus said, “I say,” and commanded His disciples to baptize in His name.
The New Testament writers also refer to Jesus as God many times (e.g., Matthew 3:16-17; John 1:1-3,14; John 20:28; Romans 9:5; Philippians 2:5-8, 9-11; Colossians 1:16-19; 2:9-10; 1 Timothy 6:15; 2 Peter 1:1; Hebrews 1:8; 13:8; Revelation 1:8, 17; 2:8; 17:14; 19:16; 21:6; 22:13).
In conclusion, the teaching of Scripture is that Jesus is indeed Yahweh, the I AM, the God of the Old Testament.
