little David beat Goliath the giant with the help of God this was only one of the many great adventures God had planned for David David the shepherd boy grew up to become a great king who served God throughout David's long and adventurous life he always remembered the comforting words of God do you know how the world began how God created it by the end from mighty mountains to the raging sea to any every single tree it's just tolling up and take a look [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [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 sounds like someone's having an argument [Music] stop fighting never solves anything Oh besides you're making me dizzy my friends please God this and watch you fight me 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 Ninevites 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 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 steel they are not kind to each other the children of Nineveh do not take care of older people [Music] others are lazy 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 be good 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 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 don't 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 Oh 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 huh 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 shops never been cleaner Oh fear do you have any flour for baking biscuits yes yes in that basket there no wait [Music] [Music] [Applause] now that everything's cleaned up goodbye Oh 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 would you go 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 travel 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 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 onboard you know the sailors on this ship warn Israelites they believed in many different gods hi mate help me with a statue sure why not 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 ah did you see that a dove he flew right to Jonah a dove is a sign of good luck captain very good luck but Jonah on board we will have safe passage there right welcome aboard Jonah so Jonah set sail across the vast sea headed to faraway Tarshish Jonah saw that the sailors didn't pray to God they worship 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 was so much in the world you need a lot of God's yeah no one God can rule over everything 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 [Music] captain I've never seen a storm like that we're in trouble [Music] take down the sails [Music] man the ship is sinking help me toss the cargo overboard good we're safe now nothing can save our ship wait what about the cards 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 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 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 [Music] may your God forgive you Jonah Jonah found himself in the whales 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 well 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 I promise to be true and oh please [Music] your word will be [Music] what can I do to thank you [Music] look in my heart and you my life is just too in the belly of a whale two days have gone by I promise to be true and well can you hear my cry never will I hide you were I can feel you that you are set in [Music] promised to be true [Music] you're [Music] [Music] after that Jonah was no longer alone hello Joe oh god I am so glad that you're here with me you trying 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 Harvey 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 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 huh why should I care with your God figs because he is going to punish everyone in this city for being bad Nineveh will be like this great please believe me king of the Ninevites I was sent by the one and the only God you only have a few days I do believe you Jordan then know his love and obey his laws that's all he wants Jonah told the King all about God's laws 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 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 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 and thirsty thank you God thank you for this plant and for saving me 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 the plant is dead you cared more about this small plant 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 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 plan 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 [Music] do you know how the world began how God created it by and from mighty mountains to the raging sea to any every single train it's just talking up and take [Music] Oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] it was a very sad day when the king of Babylon surrounded Jerusalem with his army his name was Nebuchadnezzar [Music] the king of his army stole things that belong 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 our spinasse take the brightest young man 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 are 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 ten 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 it was a good thing too [Music] King Nebuchadnezzar began having a strange dream Arioch 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

done Daniel many years past and after King Nebuchadnezzar left the throne his son Belshazzar 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 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 this wonderful party [Music] Oh orders black [Music]

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 man a God has counted the days until your kingdom will end - Cael you are not good enough to be king any longer who far seen 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 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 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] [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 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'd like it a holiday for 30 days yes a great holiday a feast like no other I must help Daniel it's a wonderful new law [Music] Daniel heard about the new law but he was still loyal to God he's breaking the Kings new law my plan worked Daniel is praying to his God let's throw him into the lion's den wait I don't wasn't your plan it was my plan what's not I'm much wiser than you [Applause] [Music] old 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 adviser and more importantly my friend but King Darius as you know the law says no law given by the king can be changed all right take Daniel to the lion's den my dear friend what if 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 [Music] the next morning King Darius ran to the lion's den O'Daniel as 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 that was to King Darius wrote a letter to everyone in the world peace and happiness to all from now on all of you will respect the god of Daniel he is greater than any other God because it 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] do you know how the world began how God created it by the end from mighty mountains to the raging sea to any every single tree it's just talking up and take a look [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [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 men 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 he looked and looked [Music] until one day [Music] [Music] [Applause] [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 ninety-nine people who don't need to change Jesus then told about a woman who had ten silver coins but she lost one of them when the woman discovered she had lost the one coin she was very upset [Music] [Laughter] [Music] she spent the whole night looking for her lost coin [Music] [Laughter] [Music] she told her friends and they celebrated because she had found what she had lost 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] whoo Thank You Reuben but where is your [Music] 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 [Music] but as the younger son grew up he dreamed of distant places he didn't want to stay on his father's farm

[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] God separated the water from the dry land God made all kinds of things to put on the land there were rocks and mountains valleys deserts and beaches [Music] there were big islands and little islands there were oceans and seas rivers and lakes but there was still more to come on the third day because God wasn't done yet it was time to make all the plants God made tall trees and short bushes vines ferns leaves and flowers God gave all the flowers a different size color shape and smell [Music] and all the grasses and plants and trees that make seeds and fruits were made on the third day too [Music] do you know how the world began how God created it by the end from mighty mountains to the raging sea to a leaf every single tree it's just tolling up and take it's a story [Music] [Applause] [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 he looked and looked [Music] until one day [Music] [Music] [Applause] [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 ninety-nine people who don't need to change Jesus then told about a woman who had ten silver coins but she lost one of them when the woman discovered she had lost the one coin she was very upset [Music] [Laughter] [Music] she spent the whole night looking for her lost coin [Music] [Laughter] [Music] she told her friends and they celebrated because she had found what she had lost 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] well thank you Ruben but where is your [Music] 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 [Music] 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 father I had a wonderful dream last night really

God created it by hand from mighty mountains to the raging sea to every every single tree it's just torn up and take it's a story [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] 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 forty years 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 boys 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 turnip what will happen to our people now that Moses is gone who will guide us to the promised land why not use with Joshua turn it 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 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 rivers very Swift crossing won't be easy this is foolish hmm 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 cross that little one oh come on it's just a little water [Laughter] who are you go away I am Joshua leader of the Israelites God has promised us this land well I'm the king of Jericho and you can't enter we are protected by the 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 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 what do we do Joshua have faith and cross the river when God tells us to you heard Joshua let's tell the others [Music] I'm worried about this king of Jericho he's like the waters of this river dangerous Joshua yes God don't be 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 now that third one is tiny homily count'em is half a soldier a rom we're spies that means we have to be quiet Oh quiet right [Music] 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 been quiet [Music] stop the spies 10c Israelites [Music] [Music] they must be here somewhere [Music] what I 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 to 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 to 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 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 we promised 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 spies did his Rahab had said after hiding in the mountains for three days they ran back to camp with their report [Music] that's what ray have 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 happy we're all small let's pray to God and thank him he is done as he said the promised land is ours the next day the 12 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 waters too fast how will we get our children and animals across don't be afraid God has shown me away bring out the Ark of the Covenant [Music] 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 art 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 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 priest stood carry the rocks and put them down where you stay tonight in the future your children will ask what to these rocks me 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 [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [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 an 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 [Music] they marched one time around the great city [Music] hmmm this is not fighting this is a parade [Music] well I I guess we won when do we attack the city Joshua we don't tomorrow we march around it again and just like today everyone must be quiet no shouts of war the only sounds can come from the ram's horns so the Israelites marched once around Jericho [Music] every day for six days and for six days nothing happened 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 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 Shelton yell scream so that the heavens can hear you shout for God has given us Jericho [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] for 40 years we wandered through the deserts and 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 wall bring down the walls of Jericho city to the ground will see the promised land [Music] we believe in God that he is with us here his power is much greater than that Arni over there our enemies are laughing but their kingdoms who will fall when we raise our boy says we will bring down the world Oh Jerry down lift your chin roll [Music] Oh [Music] to the ground we'll see the promised land [Music] so shoutout ciao city will keep us out along c2 that band we were promised bring down the line [Music] [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 don't touch me as you like how dare you treat me this way why I've 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 Turner for you perfect [Music] my friends our days of wandering are over we're home 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 do you know how the world began how God created it by the end from mighty mountains to the raging sea to any every single tree it's just tolling up and day [Applause] the story [Music] long ago word spread throughout the land of a wonderful teacher in Jerusalem it was Jesus the Son of God [Music] he helped people who were sick and encouraged 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 due 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 I was wrong Jesus will bless your children [Music] [Applause] [Music] Jesus was never too busy for anyone young or old sick or well [Music] teacher if you really know all the answers tell me how can I get into heaven 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 there's the story of a young man [Music] he left Jerusalem on a trip to Jericho the young man checked his money carefully as his father had always told him to 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 a LED light Levites help the priests in the temple 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 Oh papa can we look at the birds we always do son don't you just love the birds come on your mother sent us to buy almonds for our dinner they live down the street from us don't they yes they're our neighbors they're good people [Music] him he's not from Jerusalem he's from Samaria that's a Samaritan stay here self 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 oh sorry I didn't see you 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] oh you have a firm grip friend you haven't felt anything yet [Music] wrap him what are you doing please stop [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 travelers money and jewelry and they almost took his life [Music] can somebody help me but no one could hear his cries for help so he tried to crawl back to the road [Music] I know you'd help me if you could little friend the poor traveler lay in the ditch for hours [Music] someone's coming how fortunate it's the priest he'll help me [Music] so tired the traveler needed help but he was too weak to call out what's this oh my goodness someone should help this poor man the priest passed the traveler on the opposite side of the road [Music] the priest where did he go [Music] the lab ID he called me friend [Music] help please please please friend no no not me [Music] please like the priest before him the Levesque past on the other side of the road isn't there anyone who will help me by late afternoon the poor traveler had grown very weak I'm afraid I I won't make it through the night tell me God where are my neighbors now that I need them at sunset another traveler came down the road [Music] someone's coming always remember beware of the Samaritans 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 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 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 as Samaritan was helping an Israelite don't talk save your strength for our journey ahead I hope this doesn't hurt the Samaritan led his donkey to a small Inn [Music] was there an accident [Music] is he alright no we must get him inside of course that man he's alive yes I saw 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 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 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] it's my neighbor you are my neighbor I can clearly see that a neighbor is a friend reaching out to me who is my neighbor you are my neighbor now we both agree [Music] is a friend helping frenzy for a neighbor he will be the one Oh when the day is done look for a neighbor he will be understand your side when the who's my neighbor you are my neighbor and [Music] strangers we may meet along the winding [Music] you are my neighbor I completely [Music] a neighbor is a friend reaching out to me when you look with your heart instead of your eyes the memory you find will be a big surprise he will be the one miles when the [Music] he will be the one Oh [Music] when [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 [Music] yes let me help you son neighbor [Music] 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] do you know how the world began how God created it by hand from mighty mountains to the raging sea to a leaf every single tree it's just talking up [Applause] it's a story [Music] Oh [Applause] [Music] once there was a man named Jacob who lived in the land of Canaan with his twelve sons the oldest was Reuben then Simeon Levi Judah Issachar Zebulun GAD Asher Dan and Naphtali [Music] and finally Benjamin and Joseph they were Jacob's children by

[Music] we'll keep him down there until we figure out what to do next Reuben planned to free Joseph when no one was looking and sent him scurrying home Oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] ruben and Neftali rounded up the flock while the others ate their supper while they ate a caravan approached would it be funny if we sold joseph to those merchants why not we'd finally be rid of the pests and have money from the sale everyone agreed to the terrible plan and Joseph was sold for 20 pieces of silver brothers why are you doing this [Music] god whatever happens to me I still have my faith in you [Music] you did what - Joseph calm down Reuben I'll calm down when you figure out what we're going to tell father we have figured it out we ripped Joseph's coat we'll just make up some story we looked everywhere for him but only found his coat Oh Joseph what has happened to you my son the brothers lied and Jacob believed them Joseph was taken to Egypt and accused of a crime he hadn't done anything wrong but he was thrown into the Pharaohs prison anyway even in prison Joseph trusted in God God I didn't do anything bad but I'm in here for some reason I know in my heart that it's all part of your plan Joseph was right and part of God's plan was to bless him with a special gift the ability to understand other people's dreams oh what a terrible life if I only knew what my dream meant ah my dream was four times as confusing as yours I can tell you what it means you understand my dreams ha not I only God can explain them I believe you tell me about my dream I was Pharaoh's cup Bearer until I displeased him in my dream I saw a grapevine on the vine were three branches with grapes I squeezed them into Pharaoh's cup and put the cup in pharaoh's hand [Music] the three vines mean that in three days Pharaoh will set you free and you'll be his cup bearer again Thank You Joseph No thank God my friend and when you're free please tell Pharaoh about me tell him I shouldn't be in this awful place I promise I promise Oh enough about you I'm next in my dream I had three baskets on my head in the top basket were baked goods for Pharaoh suddenly three birds came and ate everything out of the basket what's that all about in three days you will also leave this prison I knew it I'm too important to stay here any longer wait there's more everything you own will be taken away and you will be given Pharaohs harshest punishment I'm sorry [Music] everything Joseph said came true but the cupbearer forgot to tell Pharaoh about him Joseph stayed in prison for two long years then one day [Music] oh what a strange dream [Music] Pharaoh met with the wisest man in his kingdom maybe they could understand his dream [Music] but not one of them had an answer then the cupbearer remembered his promise to Joseph and Pharaoh there is a very wise man in your prison who might explain your dream Joseph I dreamed that I was standing on the banks of the Nile when seven fat cows came out of the water then seven skinny cows came out of the river and suddenly the skinny cows ate the fat cows [Music] what does it mean my God is telling you what he plans to do the seven fat cows mean that there will be seven years with plenty of crops and food for everyone but the seven skinny cows mean that after that for seven years no crops will grow and your people will have no food this is horrible terrible no Pharaoh God has sent you this message so that you can prepare build barns to save some of the food that grows in the seven years of plenty your people will have plenty to eat it is true you are filled with the Spirit of God this is the wisest man in my kingdom we'll build these barns and save our food and there is only one man who I trust to do such an important job this man Joseph Joseph went right to work [Music] and soon the barns were bursting with grain and filled with cattle but Joseph's greatest achievement was that the people loved him God had helped Joseph do these wonderful things and Joseph never forgot to thank him [Music] seven years later the terrible drought that Joseph had warned about arrived no crops grew anywhere not even in Joseph's old home Canaan we're out of food father there's a wise leader in Egypt who has stored food for seven years he's selling it to anyone who needs it then we'll go meet with him and buy his grain not Benjamin I want him safe here with me [Music] Joseph recognized his brothers bless you great one but they didn't recognize him so he pretended to be a stranger where are you from Canaan great one seeking food for our family your spies no we're brothers from a family of 12 please believe me [Music] liar there are only 10 of you one brother was killed and Benjamin the youngest was left at home I'll sell you my grain but to prove that you are innocent and honest bring this younger brother of yours the next time you come I am going to keep one of you here until you return [Music] do you promise we promise God is punishing us for selling Joseph into slavery he pleaded with us and we betrayed him I have no more time for you take your grain and go [Music] and remember your promise father we had no choice Oh Simeon my son a prisoner in Egypt but look father we got the grain [Music] hey my money's here in the sack [Music] now we'll be accused of being thieves as well as spies Jacob didn't want to lose another son to Egypt so the family tried to save their food [Music] but soon it was all gone we're leaving for Egypt and we must take Benjamin no he'll wind up in prison like Simeon we promised father if Benjamin doesn't come Simeon will stay in prison and the Egyptian ruler won't sell us his grain [Music] Benjamin will come home unharmed I promise if he doesn't Judah I'll die of sadness is your father well yes sir good God has blessed you [Music] and you kept your promise so I'll keep mine [Music] [Applause] [Music] then the brothers left but Joseph had told his servant to secretly place his silver Cup in one of their sacks why do you reap a good with evil one of you has stolen my silver cup [Music] for this crime you will remain here in Egypt as my slave please if Benjamin doesn't return home with us our Father will die of grief he stays Oh No take me instead no me please great one when you threw me down that well you meant it to be a bad thing but in the end God has turned it into something good I came to Egypt and helped keep a nation from starving it's me Benjamin Joseph it's true I'm Joseph oh can you tell it's me look closer and you'll see the eyes of your loss I am so good to have my family gathered here it's so good to know [Music] even I can [Music] to us [Music] what's done is Oh mothers driving it was God [Music] God is used for good who defied me [Music] you are for me to be just too [Music] it's really it's really [Music] gather your families and our father and come live with me in Egypt [Music] Joseph God be praised you're alive with Joseph and his family were never apart again and God who helped them survive the famine raised up a great nation from this family so Joseph learned that even when bad things happen God can turn them into something good [Music] do you know how the world began how God created it by hand from mighty mountains to the raging sea - every every single tree it's just tolling up and take [Applause] [Music] Oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] in the town of Bethany there was a lot of celebrating [Music] [Applause] but not everyone had heard the wonderful miraculous news [Music] excuse me pardon me what's going on haven't you heard a good friend of ours has died really - why is everyone so happy because he has come back to life that's impossible that would would be a miracle I'd sooner believe that my donkey talks who is this man no ordinary man that's for sure his name is Jesus and he's the son of God we don't blame you for not believing us we'd think the same thing if we didn't know Jesus and hadn't seen the miracles ourselves oh excuse me I'm Peter and I'm Andrew come sit with us Andrew introduced Jesus to me I like him the very first time I met him Peter told the traveler that a few days after meeting Jesus they were all invited to a wedding even Jesus's mother Mary was there [Music] halfway through the party that groom saw that the wine was almost gone without wine there wouldn't be anything to drink and the party might end early they have no wine is there anything you can do to help but it's not time to let people know who I am okay do whatever he tells you to do go and fill six empty jars with water [Music] then pour the water for all the wedding guests I don't believe it this is the best wine I've ever tasted huh the groom didn't know where the wine came from [Applause] but Andrew and Peter noon [Music] it was Jesus first miracle that could have been some trick don't you think no it definitely wasn't a trick we saw it with our own eyes and that was just the beginning of his miracles like the time we were about to fish Peter explained how Jesus was teaching a large group of people about the kingdom of God hello again please no pushing may I join you of course let's go out into the water Jesus spoke to the crowd on shore for a little while longer then said Peter sail out into deeper water and let's fish but Jesus we've fished all night and caught nothing maybe so but now put your nets into the water and see what you catch anything you say Jesus our nets are about to break we're going to need another boat [Music] this is fantastic we have so many fish we're going to sink Peter Andrew it's time to stop fishing now what come with me and I'll teach you how to be fishers of men so Andrew and Peter quit their jobs they stopped fishing so they could be with Jesus and learn from him after that they met James and John who also joined Jesus they became Jesus's closest friends and followed him wherever he went to teach people we were the first of his followers his disciples this is James and John so the boatload of fish was another miracle I don't know maybe Jesus had a knack for fishing I'm a pretty good fisherman myself you know oh that was just the beginning there were so many other miracles oh this is Philip and Thomas there was the time Jesus was teaching inside a friend's house James told how the house was packed with people who had come to hear Jesus will never get close enough for him to help our sick friend hmm maybe there's more than one way to get inside [Music] so remember with faith you can do anything what are they doing away go away do you hear no wait don't you see how hard they work to get their sick friend inside the house what's going to happen all of the bad things you have done in your life no longer matter I forgive you of your sins what Jesus can't forgive this man everyone knows that only God can forgive someone who is bad who does he think he is when I say I forgive your sins there's no way of proving that I've really done anything true true but you will see my power if I heal this man's body too time to get up and walk home glory to God this really is his son [Applause] [Music] if Jesus can cure a sick man then it's true that he can forgive sins too [Music] look Jesus has healed me and then the man and his four friends shouted for joy and sang all the way home that sounds like a miracle but maybe the man wasn't really sick and he just tricked Jesus [Music] what's this someone who doesn't believe Jesus miracles he thinks they're just tricks a minute ago you said you were a pretty good fisherman once I caught a camel fish this big but have you ever been able to make a storm go away no one can do that [Music] there was the time when all of us were sailing across a lake I'm tired and need to rest a little while [Music] [Music] is going to sink us grab this rope and pull it tight [Music] please be still [Music] Peter why don't you have more faith there's no reason to be frightened when I am with you it's a miracle even the wind and water Oh baby I I don't know what to say I hardly believe my ears if only I could see such miracles with my own eyes [Music] yes I have seen the miracles I've seen them with my eyes I've seen my friend name Jesus turned water into wine seeing is believing believe in what I see when you look within your heart you'll see what I mean I can almost see the miracles right before my eyes he feels the Nets of fishermen turns water into wine he feeds the hungry cures the lame give sight to the blind when my heart miracles come mama I believe in miracles I believe in Jesus [Music] because the power of God is believin [Music] I can say that miracles happen I can almost toss my doubts Paro if I had seen sometimes you got there is a man in Israel he's doing wondrous things they say he is the son of God Jesus is his name [Music] because I behaved in Jesus I [Music] are not we do believe [Music] I [Music] [Music] [Music] the disciples then told about the day when Jesus was stopped by two blind men Jesus please please heal us do you really think I can make you see again oh yes we've heard all about you you are the true Son of God we know you can make us see again then what you believe can happen will happen [Music] [Applause] [Music] just keep on believing first we could only see darkness now we can see the light of the world oh what a miracle that must have been please don't stop there the disciples then explained the more people learned about Jesus the more they hungered for his teachings like the day in Galilee when he spoke to a crowd of 5,000 people it was a wonderful day almost like a big surprise picnic can't everyone go home now so they can get something to eat but Peter there is so much more I want to tell them Philip where can we buy enough food for all these people it would take eight months of work to pay for all the food for a crowd this size Jesus I found a boy who has five loaves of bread and two fish the boy gladly gave Jesus his food [Music] after blessing the food Jesus gave it to his disciples to hand out it was just a little bit of food but it filled every basket they had and kept filling them and after everyone had eaten they collected the leftovers and found that there was enough to still fill every basket Jesus had performed another miracle but the day wasn't over yet right after the wonderful picnic Jesus sent his disciples back across the lake [Music] [Music] look there what is it a ghost don't be afraid I'm coming to help you Jesus is it alright for me to come out to you come ahead Peter [Music] Oh [Music] hey I can't walk on water help me Jesus help me [Music] why did you doubt me Peter [Music] [Applause] [Music] truly you are the son of God [Music] why did you sink Peter because of that moment I lost my faith I didn't totally believe in Jesus or what he was doing but he showed me how greetings that is oh for such wonderful things to happen Jesus must truly be the Son of God but we haven't told you about one of the greatest miracles of all James told about the time when Jesus heard some very bad news about his friend Lazarus [Music] Lazarus has died sad we're sorry Jesus don't be my friends he's dead but I'm going to bring him back to life when I do it will help you to believe in me they found Lazarus's sister's wedding in front of the burial tomb Jesus I'm sure Lazarus wouldn't have died if you had been there Martha anyone who believes in Me will live again even if he has died do you believe that yes because I believe you are God's Son then take away this stone [Music] God may everyone now see that you have sent me to give life Lazarus come out [Music] [Music] Jesus must be the son of God then Peter told the traveler about Jesus's most important most wonderful miracle it happened three days after his own death it was on a Sunday when John and Peter went to where Jesus was buried but he was gone Jesus came back to life he then visited his disciples they first saw him down by the water what are we supposed to do now we should become fishermen again what else can we do sea is completely empty yes we fished all night and we haven't caught a thing hello have you caught any fish not even one try again throw your net over the right side of the boat [Music] Hey look it's Jesus quick let's row to shore you go ahead I can't wait [Music] good morning Peter call to the others let's have fish for breakfast in all Jesus has been here with us for 40 days now telling us about the kingdom of God oh how wonderful I only wish that I Peter there you are I give you my blessings and now it is time for me to return to heaven so I can be with my father now go out into the world and teach everyone you meet about me remember I'll always be with you through the Holy Spirit [Music] we must leave now my friend I and the others are going to Jerusalem to begin our life's work to tell others like yourself about Jesus remember everything that we've told you today and believe in the miracles of Jesus I believe [Music]
