[Music] in the land of israel there was a prophet named jonah a prophet taught other people about god and his love jonah told his friends and neighbors that god loved all people and like god jonah tried to love all people and all creatures [Music] your fish looks fresh today oh fear yes jonah the freshest you will ever meet or eat you know how much i love eating fish and i'll take a bag of peanuts i see someone just as hungry as i am [Music] hungry little dove here take some of mine we're all god's creatures [Music] sounds like someone's having an argument this is my pot no it is mine i saw it first no i did i needed to carry water i needed to carry raisins stop fighting never solves anything besides you're making me dizzy my friends please god doesn't want you fighting it upsets him now neither of you gets the pot you were acting badly just like someone from the city of nineveh do you want god to think we act like the ninevites no no jonah sorry jonah the ninevites are enemies of our people i heard they stole a boat full of fish yes they are thieves yes they are very bad people see what happens when you fight from now on we will act like israelites and not be bad like the nilavites so jonah had a very important job he taught people about god's laws there came a day when god had an even bigger job for jonah [Music] hello jonah god it's nice to hear your voice i have an important job for you what is it i will do anything for you there are some people who are not obeying my laws jonah look what they're doing [Music] the people of nineveh steal they are not kind to each other the children of nineveh do not take care of older people [Music] others are lazy [Music] and their king pretends not to see the problems he only cares about eating all day and wearing fancy clothes yes the ninevites are bad send a flood or an earthquake to punish them no they are bad because they don't know about me no one has taught them my laws jonah your job is to go to nineveh and tell them about me [Music] me go to nineveh i can't please give me some other job tell them of my love but they are the enemies of my friends and neighbors you must go jonah right now in 40 days i will punish them for being bad but if you're going to punish them why should i go tell them about you at all i don't understand the ninevites should be punished for being bad but what if i tell them all about god and they change then maybe god won't punish them i can't do something to help my enemies jonah was so confused he asked his friends what he should do you know it's funny jonah usually we come to you with questions this time i want to know what you think how can i preach to the enemies of the israelites simple you can't oh fear is right jonah don't go there don't tell them about god [Music] you do have a problem jonah if you don't preach to them you disobey god if you do preach to them you'll disappoint all your friends nobody said being a prophet was easy oh fear wait i know i'll just hide from god sure but where can you hide from god why in your store of course [Music] i know my plan will work of fear if i hide here for 40 days then god will punish the ninevites and no one will be mad at me you call this a hiding place here let me help you uh oh fear you don't have to go to that much trouble look if you're going to hide from god you've got to do it right [Music] there and my shop's never been cleaner oh fear do you have any flour for baking biscuits yes yes in that basket there no wait no no [Music] [Applause] [Music] now that everything's cleaned up good of fear what [Music] but jonah why are you leaving i'm in the way and i can't hide from god here in israel it's the first place he'd look for me so where will you go [Music] as far away from nineveh as i can i'll travel to the other side of the world to a city called tarshish god will never find me there we'll miss you jonah thank you i have a very lonely trip ahead of me because god will not be with me so jonah traveled as far away as he could to run away from god first he walked across dry deserts then he climbed high mountains he finally came to the town of joppa and found a ship that was going to sail for tarshish [Music] captain my name is jonah can i sail with you to tarshish sorry jonah this ship only carries sailors and cargo besides it's bad luck to bring a stranger on board you know the sailors on this ship weren't israelites they believed in many different gods [Music] ahoy mate help me with this statue sir why not what please captain i must sail away with you why because i am running away from god why because he gave me a job to do and i won't do it i must hide so he won't find me [Music] did you see that a dove he flew right to jonah a dove is a sign of good luck captain very good luck with joan on board we will have safe passage they're right welcome aboard jonah so jonah set sail across the vast sea headed to far away tarshish jonah saw that the sailors didn't pray to god they worshiped statues made of stone excuse me what are you doing feeding the god of water if he has a full stomach he'll make the seas calm but this isn't a god it's just a rock my god is the real one he created the sea the sky the animals all of us everything one god created all that i don't think so jonah see this is the sun god the god of the wind the god of plenty with so much in the world you need a lot of gods yeah no one god can rule over everything [Laughter] yes god does he is the one and only god well then if he is so wonderful why are you running away from him he wants me to go to nineveh and tell them about him but they are the enemies of my people and we'd be better off without them [Music] oh no captain i've never seen a storm like that me either we're in trouble [Music] take down the sails grab our hands [Music] man the ship is sinking help me toss the cargo overboard good we're safe now no nothing can save our ship wait what about the gods quick everyone pray to the gods the sailors prayed to their gods but the storm just grew stronger [Music] someone has brought our ship bad luck very bad luck we must find out who it is let's throw lots then we'll know who brought this storm the captain and his crew being superstitious believe that pieces of wood and bone would tell them who brought bad luck to their ship there the lots point to the man who brought us bad luck it's jonah where did you come from and who are your people i am an israelite and i worship the god of heaven i'm running away from him and he has found you jonah what can we do how do we make the storm go away threw me overboard you must save yourselves please captain we have no choice we must throw jonah into the sea his god is more powerful than any of our gods jonah i'm sorry we've done everything we could do i know captain it's not your fault i made god angry it's me not you who should be punished god of the israelites we're sorry for having to throw jonah into the sea poor jonah may your god forgive you jonah jonah found himself in the whale's belly now he was really alone god i'm sorry for trying to hide from you do you hear me god jonah prayed to god for three days and three nights [Music] it's so dark inside this whale and i'm lost at the bottom of the sea i was a fool to run from you now i know just what you want from me in the belly of a whale one day has gone by i [Music] never will i hide your word [Music] what can i do to thank you lord what offer can i make look in my heart and you will find my life [Music] two days have gone by can you hear my cry never will i hide your words [Music] i know that you are here you have heard my plea and come to set me free set me free in the belly of a whale [Music] [Music] [Music] away [Music] after that jonah was no longer alone hello oh god i am so glad that you're here with me you tried to hide from me oh yes and i now know that was really really wrong jonah you have learned your lesson come on let's get you out of here [Music] jonah nineveh is behind that hill hurry go tell them about me and about my love god i'm ready to do it now so jonah went to nineveh and what he had to say was so wonderful all of the people listened they believed and best of all they changed god says we shouldn't steal from each other we are all brothers and sisters in this world would you steal from your own family god says we shouldn't hurt anyone weaker than us since we are all god's children we should protect each other [Music] children stop god says we should honor our elders don't forget they helped raise us and looked after us even the children were changed and they gathered around jonah just like sheep around their shepherd hey farmer god says we all have jobs to do and we should work hard we should listen to him since he's the one who gave this wonderful world to us [Music] oh king of the ninevites this is no way to lead your people god tells us to care for one another [Music] why should i care what your god thinks because he is going to punish everyone in this city for being bad nineveh will be like this grape please believe me king of the ninevites i was sent by the one and the only god you only have a few days [Music] i do believe you jonah then know his love and obey his laws that's all he wants jonah told the king all about god's laws [Music] my people people of nineveh hear me for one week all of us must fast no one will eat anything for seven days and all of us will wear rags if we do this we will show jonah's god how sorry we are for acting so badly [Music] after jonah told the ninevites about god and his laws they changed their ways jonah then left the city he sat on a hill above nineveh to watch god punish them [Music] jonah i'm proud of you the ninevites have changed their ways but aren't you still going to punish them i am not going to punish anyone jonah but god they are such bad people shouldn't they be punished they have heard my voice through you jonah and have changed their hearts i love them as i love the israelites as i love all people i was afraid of this i saved the enemies of my people go home jonah it will be okay no wait please god i am more confused than ever [Music] jonah didn't know what to do where to go he just started walking into the desert unfortunately the desert was hot and he didn't have any food i'm so tired hungry and thirsty [Music] thank you god thank you for this plant and for saving me [Music] the next morning the plant was dead and jonah was mad he was mad because god let a worm destroy the plant jonah why are you angry you let this wonderful plant die that gave me food and shelter like you took away my hope yesterday when you didn't punish the ninevites you're mad because the plant is dead you cared more about this small planet than the whole city of nineveh but you didn't do anything to keep it alive so how do you think i'd feel if i punished all the people of nineveh there are men women and children that i made and cared for over many years they never knew or loved me until you came shouldn't i still care about them yes yes you should go home and tell your friends about nineveh and the planet so jonah went home i can't wait to see my friends and eat all my favorite foods except for one food it's going to be a long time before i eat fish again jonah was accepted back by his friends and he spent the rest of his life teaching about god's laws and especially about god's love it was a very sad day when the king of babylon surrounded jerusalem with his army his name was nebuchadnezzar [Music] the king and his army stole things that belonged to god then they destroyed his temple the king then ordered that the stolen things be taken back to babylon but that was not all he stole ashbanaz take the brightest young men in jerusalem they must be very healthy and very smart so they can work for me in my palace [Music] don't touch those they're from the temple they belong to god take everything back to our kingdom so the holy cups and plates belonging to god and jerusalem's finest young men were carried hundreds of miles away to babylon [Music] [Music] among those taken were daniel and his friends shadrach meshach and abednego and even though daniel and his three friends were hundreds of miles away from their home and the house of god they stayed loyal to god are you studying hard this is impossible we'll never learn to read and write your language god was with daniel and his friends your language is very interesting your majesty teach us more god gave them more wisdom than the other young students and they loved him for it in time the king saw how the boys were 10 times smarter than all the wizards magicians and wise men in babylon and god gave daniel something special the ability to know and understand dreams [Music] it was a good thing too [Music] king nebuchadnezzar began having a strange dream ariak a dream that kept him up night after night [Music] bring me my best magician wizard and wise man they must tell me what this dream means well what are you waiting for on my way o king sleep sleep i've got to get my sleep oh king live forever what do you want to know ask any question we have all the answers thank the gods i have a most important question for you magician wizard and wise man no he's the wizard he's the wise man he's the magician no king yeah sure whatever do you want to know what is colder snow or a dog's nose or how to turn goat's milk into cloth or the number of giants living inside the earth no no no i have been having a very strange dream night after night that's simple piece of cake no problem so tell me what it means okay but tell us what your dream was then we'll tell you what it means oh no if you are so smart first tell me what i dreamed then tell me what it means you want us to tell you what you already know then tell you what you don't know but you'll know if we know what you already know yes yes yes i knew you were smart are you kidding no way forget it tell me what i dreamed right now or or i'll punish all of you but no one on earth can do such a thing only the gods can tell you that and they don't live on earth that's it now i'm mad i'll not only punish the three of you but but ariak [Music] get rid of all the wizards magicians and wise men in babylon well what are you waiting for on my whale king [Music] ariak went to daniel's house [Music] he told him about the king's order to punish every wise man in babylon wait ariak please don't harm anyone tonight daniel you're my friend i'll wait but only until tomorrow morning let's pray my friends god must help us understand the king's secret dream no one should be harmed over this wake up daniel i've come to explain the king's secret dream to you thank you god oh king there's someone here to tell you what your dream means impossible who could be smarter than my wizard magician and wise man one of the captives from judah you can tell me about my dream no not i is this some joke ariak but god in heaven can explain all secret things oh i know what your dream means i know what your dream means god has told me to pass the word about what i've seen and what i've heard it's a simple message sir with a truly holy thing oh i know what your dreams [Music] oh king nebuchadnezzar believe me it's my pleasure to come here to you and shed some light i've been praying to god and this may sound awfully odd but i understand the dream you had last night saw a statue with a head of gold he was bronze a nine with thick clay toes symbolized kingdoms of this earth [Music] the golden face that i saw shining means down here you're the number one king i'm giving you the facts for all their worth oh i know what your dream means oh i know what your dream is god has told me to pass the word about what i've seen and what i heard it's a simple message sir with a truly holy theme oh i know what your dream needs now the rock that rolled on down and brought the statue to the ground shows that earthly kingdom soon will pass [Music] yeah the interpretation is that out of all the nations gods is the kingdom that will last oh i know what your dream means oh i know what your dream means god has told me to pass the word about what i've seen and what i've heard it's a simple message sir with a truly holy theme oh i know what your dream i know is your dream is god has told me to pass the word about what i've seen and what i heard it's a simple message sir with a truly holy thing oh i know what your dream is god has told me king what your dream means [Music] exactly right you are smarter than all of my wizards magicians and wise men put together not me sire god told me this secret not because i'm greater than anyone else but so you can know what it means but what does it mean your king for now but neither you nor your kingdom will last forever but god's kingdom will last forever your god is the god of gods the king of all kings your god tells people things they can't possibly know you deserve a reward from this moment on you will rule over babylon for me and be in charge of all my wise men o king i beg you do not punish them of course anything you ask what was your name again daniel if i am to rule i need help i have three wise friends make shadrach meshach and abednego leaders of babylon as well it shall be done daniel many years passed and after king nebuchadnezzar left the throne his son balchazar became king daniel stayed in babylon and every day three times a day he faced jerusalem and prayed to god after so many years daniel was completely forgotten by the new king belshazzar one night king belshazzar had a big party the foolish king used cups and plates stolen from the house of god [Music] is everyone having fun by drinking from the stolen cups he dishonored god he only believed in false gods made from gold silver bronze iron wood and stone well let us thank the gods for this wonderful party [Music] what is that [Music] wizard magicians wise men come here quickly what does it say read it to me [Music] many meanie tickle person mini minitical person tell you what anyone who can read those words uh gets a gold chain eenie meenie parsnip how about this a fine purple robe fit for a king i'll even make you third highest ruler in my kingdom impossible infeasible inconceivable [Music] is there no one in my kingdom who can read these strange words i know of someone my son tell me mother who is it in the days of your father this man had wisdom like the gods call for daniel are you daniel the one who believes in the god who created heaven and earth look the gold chain the purple robe and third highest ruler in the kingdom everything is yours if you can read these words king belshazzar keep your gifts or give them to someone else oh then you can't read it either but i can and i will tell you what it says your father was so proud and stubborn he lost his kingdom god rules over everything on earth and he decides who will be king you know all this but you aren't sorry for the terrible things you've done [Music] tonight you used cups and plates stolen from his temple you have dishonored god [Music] god himself sent the hand that wrote these words monet god has counted the days until your kingdom will end to kale you are not good enough to be king any longer if arsene your kingdom will be given to some other people daniel i know you speak the truth king belshazzar kept his promise and gave daniel the purple robes and golden chain and made him the third highest ruler in the land what daniel said did come true that very night [Music] another ruler king darius took over the kingdom the new king picked three men to rule the kingdom and since god had made daniel very wise daniel was one of the three soon king darius saw how daniel was better than the other two men and he planned to make daniel the one and only ruler of the land that made the other two men very angry [Music] the two mean wise men wanted to make daniel look bad [Music] but he always told the truth and was not lazy nor dishonest we must make daniel look bad but how he is just too good i have an idea daniel really really believes in his god we will use that against him [Laughter] [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] it's me god daniel i was right daniel faces jerusalem and prays to his god three times a day this plan will work i can't wait to tell the king hey it's my plan i'll tell the king not if i get to him first why you [Applause] theirs was a terrible plan a plan to get rid of daniel oh king darius you have many enemies and we know how to find them for 30 days let's have a holiday throughout the kingdom for 30 days no one can pray to any god or any human except to you hmm i kind of like the sound of that but here's the best part if they don't pray to you they must be your enemy so we throw them into the lion's den by the gods i mean by me i like it a holiday for 30 days yes a great holiday a feast like no other i must tell daniel [Music] it's a wonderful new law daniel heard about the new law but he was still loyal to god he's breaking the king's new law my plan worked daniel is praying to his god let's throw him into the lion's den wait it wasn't your plan it was my plan was not i'm much wiser than you [Applause] [Music] oh king darius we found someone who doesn't obey your new law unbelievable who is this terrible person he is the israelite daniel no not him he prays three times a day to his god just as he did before you made the law shall it be two lions or three i can't hurt daniel he's a trusted advisor and more importantly my friend but king darius as you know the law says no law given by the king can be changed that's right that's right all right take daniel to the lion's den my dear friend what have i done [Music] i'm sorry daniel i don't want to do this you have always been loyal to your god maybe he will save you from the lions don't worry i won't be alone down there [Music] so that no one would move the stone and let daniel out of the den king darius sealed the opening with his royal seal [Music] [Music] king darius could not sleep that night he was very worried about his friend the next morning king darius ran to the lion's den oh daniel has your god kept you safe open the lion's den but there was nothing to fear you're up early king darius daniel was safe and sound [Music] [Music] i can't believe my eyes you're okay when the lions attacked god saved me he sent an angel to close their mouths the lions didn't hurt me because god knew i hadn't done anything wrong and i haven't done anything wrong to you o king daniel i'm so happy and you call yourselves wise men take them away that was a terrible plan don't look at me it was your big idea was not was too king darius wrote a letter to everyone in the world peace and happiness to all [Music] from now on all of you will respect the god of daniel he is greater than any other god because he uses miracles to rescue and save people daniel continued working for king darius and always stayed loyal to god and god blessed him for the rest of his life [Music] a long time ago jesus traveled the land teaching people how to be good to each other and to love god many people listened and learned from his stories but some didn't understand and had questions [Music] what are you doing jesus you are sitting with sinners how can you be a teacher sent by god if you speak to tax collectors these men take our money and give it to the emperor we've even heard you eat with these men they have turned their backs on god i'm sure god will have nothing to do with them why should you all people are special to god let me tell you a story once there was a shepherd with a hundred sheep but he lost one of them jesus told how the shepherd wanted all of his lambs safe [Music] he looked and looked [Music] until one day [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] ah [Music] the shepherd had a big celebration because he had found what he had lost [Music] but jesus the shepherd was just doing his job there's more joy in heaven over someone who was lost and then found who changes his life for god than over 99 people who don't need to change [Music] jesus then told about a woman who had ten silver coins [Music] but she lost one of them when the woman discovered she had lost the one coin she was very upset [Music] huh [Music] she spent the whole night looking for her lost coin [Music] ah [Music] she told her friends and they celebrated because she had found what she had lost [Music] that's the way god feels about people in heaven the angels sing whenever a person says he or she believes in god and wants to live a better life but jesus in your stories the shepherd and the poor woman lost valuable things and all sinners especially tax collectors are worthless bad people there's another story a story about forgiveness and love [Music] there was once a man who was both a wealthy farmer and a loving father [Music] [Music] the father tried to teach them how to take care of things [Music] thank you reuben but where is your [Music] ah benjamin even though his sons were very different he loved them both the same the father hoped they would grow up to be hard-working farmers but as the younger son grew up he dreamed of distant places he didn't want to stay on his father's farm [Applause] the son decided to leave his home the very next day [Music] father i had a wonderful dream last night really what kind of i was riding the finest horse in the city oh the

farm but you never gave me a party but as soon as my lazy brother wanders back home he gets a feast my son anytime you want to party you'll get it i love you with all my heart but today is something special your brother has returned like the tree we planted when you both were little in the winter it's empty and you might think it's dead but in the spring it comes back to life i'm happy because i thought my son was dead but he's alive and now he's safe here with us come celebrate with me [Music] reuben i've been a thoughtless brother can you ever forgive me welcome home brother [Music] [Applause] [Music] the father is like god he is full of joy and forgiveness when someone decides to follow him no matter what we have done who we are god will always love us we are not convinced god even forgives the pharisees everyone else listened as jesus told more stories that day and they learned how god treasures every child every man and every woman [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the twelve tribes of israel were led out of egypt by moses [Music] god had promised them a home of their own a land called canaan but once they got there many israelites were afraid of the armies of canaan they didn't trust god to help them win their battles they wanted to go back to egypt where they had been slaves god decided that since they didn't trust him they couldn't enter the promised land and he had them wander the deserts for 40 years [Music] after 40 years god led the children of the 12 tribes back to the promised land but instead of it being a time of joy the israelites were full of sadness [Music] their leader moses had died so they didn't have anyone to lead them to their new home [Music] behave yourselves today we are remembering moses joshua who helped moses for those 40 years was remembering the great leader in his own special way [Music] come to cheer me up turn up [Applause] what will happen to our people now that moses is gone who will guide us to the promised land why not you joshua turn it you you you talked it's me joshua god i've chosen you joshua to lead the israelites into the promised land no i can't you helped moses but he was a great leader i'm just an ordinary man a simple servant don't be afraid there is greatness in every man who has faith joshua god where is the land you promised us look west [Music] what do you see the desert floor and the jordan river beyond that foothills and green the promised land take your people joshua but i can't lead them i'm frightened yes you will face many dangers but be strong remember i will never leave you [Music] because joshua loved god and obeyed his rules god protected him god's rules known as the ten commandments were written on stone tablets inside the holy ark [Music] the river's very swift crossing won't be easy oh this is foolish following joshua's if you were moses are you coming around come let's see what will happen how about there joshua i'll see how deep it is do you think you can

jericho and you can't enter we are protected by this swift river and the strongest wall in the world if you can cross this river you better be prepared for a fight our god protects us as he protected moses our leader [Music] [Laughter] yes i've heard that your god parted the red sea but he has no power here stay away from jericho or my army will destroy you [Music] what do we do joshua have faith

afraid of the king if you trust me i will protect you joshua did trust in god [Music] he selected two men to sneak into jericho and tell him about the king's army [Music] one two three soldiers ah that third one is tiny i'll only count him as half a soldier a rom we're spies that means we have to be quiet go quiet right [Music] spy oh king i'm only a harmless traveling merchant liar you're a stranger in jericho so i say you're a spy hey but he can't do that [Music] more spies israelite spies that's being quiet [Music] stop the spies can't see israelites [Music] [Music] they must be here somewhere [Music] what do we do this way hurry [Music] my name's rahab i want to help this way [Music] under here quickly open your doors by order of the king out of my way the israelite spies did you see them they were here but they ran toward the city gates if you hurry you might still catch them [Music] the king will be very unhappy if you let them get away [Music] rahab told the israelites it was safe to come out of their hiding place that was a very brave thing you did why did you risk your life for us two strangers everyone in jericho knows the israelites are coming to our land we've heard that your god rules the heavens above and the earth below he's so powerful he parted the red sea for moses now our men are afraid to fight you [Music] go hide in the hills for three days then you'll be safe god bless you rahab you're very kind wait i showed kindness to you when your people attack the city please spare my family and me [Music] we promise rahab [Music] leave this red rope hanging from your window it will be a sign that no one in this house is to be harmed joshua's spies did his rehab habit said after hiding in the mountains for three days they ran back to camp with their report [Music] that's what rahab told us joshua everyone in jericho is afraid of us we can defeat this king of jericho i'm not so sure aram he had a lot of soldiers ah they were all small let's pray to god and thank him he has done as he said the promised land is ours the next day the twelve tribes marched towards canaan but as god had told joshua entering their new homeland wasn't going to be easy [Music] how can we cross this river safely please god give me an answer the water's too fast [Music] [Music] how will we get our children and animals across don't be afraid god has shown me a way bring out the ark of the covenant joshua directed the priests to carry the ark into the river and hold it there the israelites were confused what did joshua have in mind this can't be safe joshua doesn't know what he's doing behold the power of god as the crowd watched a miracle happened [Music] the priests held up the ark and god held back the waters [Music] it's just like when moses parted the red sea it's true then god must be with joshua as he was with moses [Applause] the israelites faith in joshua grew and grew for now they knew he followed in the footsteps of moses joshua choose 12 men one from each tribe tell them to get 12 rocks from the middle of the river from where the priests stood carry the rocks and put them down where you stay tonight in the future your children will ask what do these rocks mean and you will say the water stopped flowing when the ark of the covenant with god crossed the river these rocks will always remind the israelites of this [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] so [Music] uh [Music] [Music] uh [Music] do [Music] one evening joshua was walking near jericho i followed god's commands without question i've tried to be a good leader but i'm not a soldier how can i fight the king of jericho and his army joshua god how shall the enemy be defeated you won't need swords or armor joshua just have faith in me to defeat the king and army of jericho here's what you must do early the next day joshua formed the israelites into a long line remember do as god instructed not a word not a sound from any of you first came seven priests playing ram's horns then the ark of the covenant then the armed men they marched one time around the great city [Music] hmm this is not fighting this is a parade [Music] well i i guess we won [Laughter] when do we attack the city joshua we don't tomorrow we march around it again [Music] and just like today everyone must be quiet no shouts of war the only sounds can come from the ram's horns [Music] so the israelites marched once around jericho [Music] every day for six days and for six days nothing happened [Music] you israelites are fools and the biggest fool is your leader joshua [Laughter] on the morning of the seventh day joshua's people were restless joshua you do not know what you are doing our people are tired of marching in circles we need a soldier for a leader yes let's fight you're right i'm not a soldier but i do have faith in god he didn't let moses down and he won't let us down so long as we trust in him this is the seventh and last day who will come with me [Music] i will all of us tell everyone we will march and march they did but instead of going around the city just once as they had done for six full days joshua said that god wanted them to march seven times and on the seventh time around they did something completely different shout yell scream so that the heavens can hear you shout for god has given us jericho [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] for 40 years we wandered through the desert sand hoping we could find god's promised land and now it's here before us behind a fortress tall but it will not be ours until we bring down the walls bring down the walls of jericho bring down the wasp lift your horns and blow the sound we make is gonna shake this city to the ground we'll see the promised land when the walls come down [Music] we believe in god that he is with us here his power is much greater than that army over there our enemies are laughing but their kingdom soon will fall when we raise our voices we will bring down the walls bring down the walls of jericho bring down the walls lift your horns and blow the sound we make is gonna shake the city to the ground we'll see the promised land when the walls come down so shout out loud shout out strong that wall around the city won't keep the south along sing to is [Music] [Music] come down now [Music] [Applause] [Music] with their voices a few ram's horns and their faith in god the israelites captured jericho [Applause] [Music] [Applause] joshua these are the people who helped us rahab her mother and father you're a brave woman rahab god has watched over you and your family because of your faith and for helping my people can we stay and join you joshua nothing would make me happier yeah don't touch me israelite how dare you treat me this way why i'm i'm the king you were the king when i said god promised us this land you laughed and called me a fool who's the fool now [Applause] has anyone seen turnip [Music] for you perfect [Music] my friends our days of wandering are over we're home [Applause] after jericho was captured the israelites kept moving and claimed more and more new land their wandering days were over all because joshua and the israelites had faith in god long ago words spread throughout the land of a wonderful teacher in jerusalem it was jesus the son of god [Music] he helped people who were sick [Music] and encourage those who were lonely he answered their questions and told them about god [Music] jesus traveled from place to place and wherever he went people wanted to hear what he had to say [Music] you know the angels of children are always very close to god in heaven [Music] please touch my baby pray for my child no go away one of jesus's disciples was upset can't you see jesus is too busy to waste his time on children wait my father's kingdom is made up of people who trust and love like children do to god every child is a special treasure as my disciple you should know i could never turn children away i'm sorry jesus here please come back [Music] i was wrong jesus will bless your children [Applause] [Music] jesus was never too busy for anyone young or old sick or well [Music] if you really know all the answers tell me how can i get into heaven [Music] you've studied god's law what do you think well it says to love god with all my heart and mind and strength and i should love my neighbors and other people as much as i love myself that's right but wait i understand everything but that last part who are my neighbors and how do i love others so what's your answer jesus [Music] there's the story of a young man he left jerusalem on a trip to jericho the young man checked his money carefully as his father had always told him to [Music] and then began his journey [Music] morning good morning along the way the man greeted other travelers including a priest from the temple have a safe journey and you also as his journey continued he came upon another traveler [Music] a levite levites help the priests in the temple [Music] thank you thank you my friend good journey to you and to you as time passed the traveler saw fewer and fewer people on the road so i'm not alone what a beautiful bird i remember seeing such a bird once [Music] oh papa can we look at the birds we always do son [Music] oh papa don't you just love the birds love the birds come on your mother sent us to buy almonds for our dinner [Music] [Applause] they live down the street from us don't they yes they're our neighbors they're good people oh papa look [Music] who's that man him he's not from jerusalem he's from samaria that's a samaritan stay here son the samaritans are not like our neighbors they are our enemies and can't be trusted the boy was taught to fear anyone from a different place always remember beware of the samaritans beware of the samaritans the traveler was completely alone on the road when a stranger approached he was frightened because his father had always warned him to be afraid of people from other places but the foreigner did not bother him [Music] [Applause] [Music] greetings little fellow here's a treat for you [Music] oh sorry i didn't see you [Music] good day stranger how are you hello are you from jerusalem that's a relief it's good to see neighbors so far from home [Music] ow you have a firm grip friend you haven't felt anything yet [Music] grab him what are you doing please stop [Music] no stop please [Music] why are you doing this we're neighbors so give us all your money neighbor [Music] [Laughter] [Music] let's get out of here the thieves took the traveler's money and jewelry and they almost took his life [Music] so cheers [Music] help me can somebody help me [Music] but no one could hear his cries for help so he tried to crawl back to the road oh i know you'd help me if you could little friend [Music] the poor traveler lay in the ditch for hours [Music] someone's coming how fortunate [Music] it's the priest he'll help me [Music] but i'm so so tired the traveler needed help but he was too weak to call out [Music] hmm what's this [Music] oh my goodness someone should help this poor man [Music] the priest passed the traveler on the opposite side of the road [Music] oh the priest where did he go [Music] the levite [Music] he called me friend [Music] help please please please friend no no not me [Music] please like the priest before him the levite passed on the other side of the road what will i do what will i do [Music] isn't there anyone who will help me by late afternoon the poor traveler had grown very weak hello little friend i'm afraid i i won't make it through the night tell me god where are my neighbors now that i need them [Music] at sunset another traveler came down the road [Music] someone's coming [Music] always remember beware of the samaritans [Music] just when i need help the most along comes a samaritan maybe he hasn't seen me who is it [Music] what happened to you ah no matter you need help i'll be right back he won't be back [Music] this is medicine for your cuts and scrapes now this should help i don't understand [Music] i'm going to take you to a safe place tonight but why you're a samaritan ah then you have met my people before travelers passing by couldn't believe their eyes a samaritan was helping an israelite don't talk save your strength for our journey ahead i hope this doesn't hurt too much [Music] the samaritan led his donkey to a small inn was there an accident [Music] is he all right no we must get him inside of course [Music] that man he's alive yes i saw him too but who is that with him why it's a samaritan but a samaritan wouldn't help an israelite would he [Music] just rest now thank you all night the samaritan cared for the injured man he's looking much better i must travel on business today take this money and pay for anything he needs until i get back when i return i'll pay you for any other expenses i can't thank you enough i'll see you in a few days [Music] i asked god where my neighbors were when i needed them [Music] he has given me the answer and the samaritan did as he promised a few days later he took the traveler back to jerusalem [Music] who's my neighbor you are my neighbor i can clearly see that a neighbor is a friend reaching out to me who's my neighbor you are my neighbor now we both agree that a neighbor is a friend helping friends in [Music] a need he will be the one always standing by your side when the day is done look for a neighbor he will be the one always standing by your side when the day is done [Music] who's my neighbor [Music] who's my neighbor you are my neighbor i can clearly see [Music] that a neighbor is a friend reaching out to me when you look with your heart instead of your eyes the neighbor you find will be a big surprise [Music] he will be the one [Music] your always when the day [Music] is done [Music] [Music] so tell me which man was the neighbor to the traveler the priest the levite or the samaritan well that's easy the one who cared for him as we should all do showing kindness to everyone so don't just love the people in your family or your friends love everybody especially those in need live your life like the good samaritan i will jesus let me help you young neighbor the story jesus told that day spread throughout the world and now a person who helps someone in need is called a good samaritan [Music] so [Music] [Music] you
