Do you know the miracles of Jesus? - 2 HOURS NON STOP - 3 Full Episodes The Beginners Bible

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] she spent the whole night looking for her lost coin [Music] [Laughter] [Music] she told her friends and they celebrated [Applause] 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] 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 [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 what kind of I was riding the finest horse in the city though the city's a nice place to visit but everyone stared at me because I was handsome smart and wealthy yes you are all of those father farm life is fine for you you're a farmer but it's not for me there are things I have to do places I have to see you're leaving home yes you have always promised my brother and me and inheritance money for us but it's for your future please father I want my money now I must see the world starting today but the father did not want his son to leave he would miss him a great deal [Music] oh thank you Father I'm rich hey that's not fair Benjamin can't take his money and leave like this if that's what he wants he could do it don't worry about the farm father Reuben will be here but I care about you I'll miss you my son I'll be alright I'm going to see the world wave goodbye to your brother the father could only hope that one day he'd see his son again [Music] [Applause] no more dirty hands no more back aches and no more work [Music] [Applause] [Music] isn't it magnificent [Music] [Music] it was the sun's first time out in the world and he wanted to buy everything he saw [Music] [Music] well what do you think now all I need is to be seen riding a magnificent horse 37 38 39 40 you have bought the finest horse in my stable well I deserve the best you know now do you want that mule anymore yeah he reminds me of my father's farm none of my horses are worth 40 coins why this mule is worth twice that much the fool doesn't care how he spends his money I see something else to buy [Applause] I don't care what it costs I must be seen riding through the streets today [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] father I've listed all of our animals thanks Ruben that was a lot of work I was just thinking about your brother I'm sure you miss him as much as I

to beg for food [Music] ah no free food [Music] the boy was so hungry he needed to find work any work but the only job he could find was the worst possible watch it don't make well pigs of yourselves

enough to eat wait a minute I'll go home my father won't want me back as a son not after the way I treated him but anything's better than this mess hey he might give me a job on his farm I'm never

want a party you'll get it uh-huh 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 bit as I thought my son was dead but he's alive and now he's safe here with us come celebrate with me Ruben 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] do you know how the world began how God created it by hand from mighty mountains to the raging sea to any every single tree it's just tolling up and take the story Oh [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 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 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 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 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 one two three soldiers that third one is tiny homily count him 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 being quiet dance stop the Sloane's 10c Israelites [Music] [Music] they must be here somewhere [Music] what 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 him 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 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 is 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 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 twelve 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 - 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] [Applause] [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 in 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 they marched one time around the great city [Music] hmmm this is not fighting this is a parade [Music] well I I guess we've 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 why 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 yo 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 with me we'll 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 voice says we will bring bring down the world Jerry calm down lift your chin roll [Music] city to the ground will see the promised [Music] so shoutout ciao that wall around the city will keep yourself alone see too that land we were promised is right behind me down [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 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 has anyone seen turn it for you perfect 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 [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 tree it's just warming up and take a look it's a story Oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] long ago God sent his prophet Samuel to find the future king of the Israelites [Music] Samuel go to Jesse's house in Bethlehem there you will find the new king over all Israel hmm I wonder who that is [Music] [Applause] [Music] my sons come into the house there is a guest here to see you Oh David you stay there and look after the Sheep we're going inside [Music] Jesse you say you have eight sons yes and they are such fine young men here they come [Music] which one could it be surely this must be God's chosen one no satinwood you are thinking too much about what it looks like you must

middle of a vast Valley King Saul led the army of Israelites [Music] but the enemy the Philistines had a giant on their side [Music] [Music] the giant came marching across the valley forked army of the Israelites his lakes burrs biggest tree trunks his arms were strong as iron and his steps made the whole earth tremble I am Goliath the Giant and all of you are nothing but King Saul's little service even if all of you fight me together you can never beat me [Music] I dare you choose just one man rave enough to fight not me not me not me either just one man if he beats me all of my men

for King Saul what news so there's this Israelite champion it was really a young shepherd boy it says he wants to fight for King Saul and the Israelites [Laughter] it says God will help him fight the Giant he's never even been trained as a soldier well tell the foolish lied to the whole king Saul is no use for jokes out here on the battlefield you tell the boy tell the boy to come here but sire [Music] joab bring the boy here to me now I wonder who he is I wonder why he's the only one brave enough to fight the giant [Music] understand his spear appears to be the size of a small tree and all I've got is a slingshot this Philistine is large but I know who's in charge I have a giant [Music] like what the roaring lion with a little faith I was not afraid the fight was God not my this but I know I have a jaw [Music] you see the trouble [Music] [Music] [Music] next to the [Music] with me [Music] so that's the little hero looks like he couldn't fight a flea make way for the little giant

[Applause] [Music] Goliath is dead where is the boy Joab bring him here to me brother it is you our brave baby brother David bring the boy here too painful thank you my son thank God your majesty and that is how 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 [Music] do you know how the world began how God created it by hand from mighty mountains to the raging sea - any every single tree it's just tolling up and take it the story Oh [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 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 banana bites 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] to Nineveh I can't please give me some other job tell them of my love 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 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 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 julen 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 [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 onboard you know the sailors on this ship warn Israelites they believed in many different gods oh hi mate help me with this 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 it'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 you 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 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 [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 guards 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 Jona 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 or 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 it's gone by I promise to be true and oh never your word will be [Music] what can I do to thank you [Music] look in my heart and you my life is charged too in the belly of a whale two days have gone by I promise to beat you and well can you hear my cry you're where I can feel you that you [Music] [Music] in I promise to be true [Music] [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 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 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 ha 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 am 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 John 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 [Music] 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 your man the plant is dead you cared more about this small plan 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 until you tame 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]
