do you know how the world began how God created it by hand from mighty mountains to the Raging Sea to every leaf on every single tree it's in the holy book just open up and take a look it's a story for young and all the Greatest Story Ever Told so land and here and you will hear the greatest story The Greatest [Music] Story in the town of Bethany there was a lot of celebrating but not everyone had heard the wonderful miraculous [Music] news excuse me pardon me what's going on haven't you heard a good friend of ours has died really then why is everyone so happy because he has come back to life that's impossible possible 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 sip with us Andrew introduced Jesus to me I liked 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 [Music] there [Music] halfway through the party the 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 [Music] am okay do whatever he tells you to do go and fill six empty jars with [Music] water then pour the water for all the wedding [Music] 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 [Applause] from but Andrew and Peter [Music] knew 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 [Music] 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 fished all night and caught nothing maybe so but now put your nets into the water and see what you catch anything you say [Music] Jesus our Nets are about to break we're going to need another [Music] boat 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 [Music] disciples this is James and John so the boatload of fish was another miracle that's right right I don't know maybe Jesus had a knack for fishing I'm a pretty good fisherman myself you know [Music] oh that was just the beginning there were so many other Miracles oh this is Phillip 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 we'll never get close enough for him to help our sick friend h maybe there's more than one way to get [Music] inside 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 oh my glory to God this really is his [Applause] [Music] son if Jesus can cure a sick man then it's true that he can forgive sins [Music] too 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 [Music] Jesus 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 [Music] while [Music] Jesus the storm is going to sink us grab this rope and pull it [Music] tight peace be still did you see [Music] that Peter why don't you have more faith there's no reason to be frightened when I'm with you it's a miracle even the wind and water obey him I I don't know what to say I hardly believe my ears if only I could see such Miracles with my own [Music] eyes yes I have seen the Miracles I've seen them with my my eyes I've seen my friend named Jesus turn water into wine seeing is believing believe in what I see when you look within your heart you'll see what I mean I

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 [Applause] [Music] Just Keep On Believing first we could only see Darkness now we can see the light of the [Music] 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 [Music] 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 Phillip where can we buy enough food for all these people it would take 8 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 [Music] food 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 [Music] lake look there what is it a ghost don't be afraid I'm coming to help you Jesus is it all right for me to come out to you come ahead [Music] Peter oh he's actually good [Music] I I can't walk on water help me Jesus help [Music] me why did you doubt me [Music] [Applause] [Music] Peter oh look look truly you are the Son of God why did you sink Peter because at that moment I lost my faith I didn't totally believe in Jesus or what he was doing but he showed me how greetings thus 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 PA James told about the time when Jesus heard some very bad news about his friend [Music] Lazarus Lazarus has died oh how 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 sisters waiting 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 [Music] out [Music] Jesus must be the Son of God then Peter told the traveler about Jesus's most important most wonderful Miracle it happened 3 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 what was he saying I don't

it's in the holy book just open up and take a [Music] look it's a story for young and old The Greatest Story Ever Told so land and here and you will hear the great greatest story The Greatest [Music] Story once there was a man named Jacob who lived in the land of Canaan with his 12 sons the oldest was Reuben then Simeon Levi Judah issachar zebulun Gad Asher Dan and [Music] Nepali and finally Benjamin and Joseph they were Jacob's children by his second wife Rachel being the youngest they stayed at home while their brothers worked the pastures Jacob loved all his sons but Joseph was his favorite father when can I tend the sheep with my brothers I dreamed it would be any day now Joseph you and your dreams you start tomorrow and to celebrate the big event I have a surprise for [Music] you now that he's of age Joseph will join his older brothers in the fields hey all right there he is and this will keep you warm oh Father it's [Music] beautiful hey look at these sleeves and the colors father should have given you a cat like that Reuben you're the oldest huh in my [Music] dreams Joseph's brothers were jealous of his gift it reminded them that their father loved him most of all but the beautiful coat wasn't the only thing that made them angry at [Music] Joseph Judah Asher Simeon the other night I had a wonderful dream we were all in a field binding bundles of grain and my bundle stood upright while yours gathered around mine and bowed down bowed down do you huh father May worship you but we don't hey it was just a dream Simeon I'm going to [Music] bed you know last night I dreamed I was a star in the Sky along with 11 other [Music] stars the sun and the moon were there [Music] too and they all bowed down to [Music] me 11 Stars you mean 11 brothers and we're supposed to bow to you who do you think you are a [Music] king if we're the stars who are the Moon and Sun his mother and I Joseph you don't think your family should actually worship you father it was just a get to sleep you and your brothers leave early in the morning if you sleep late they won't wait for you father's got that right and I don't want to hear anything more about dreams the next day Joseph was left behind hello uh-oh the dreamers found us get ready to bow my brothers look at him strut around like a peacock in his new coat sometimes I wish we could get rid of him no you don't but I do if he mentions one more dream Simeon he's our brother we couldn't hurt him but you've given me an idea what were you trying to do lose me Joseph began to tell his brothers how smart he had been to find them but they weren't listening they had their plans hey careful with a coat Reuben Judah [Music] no 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 send him scurrying home oh [Music] no [Music] a [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] wo [Applause] [Music] Reuben and nef T rounded up the flock while the others ate their supper while they ate a caravan [Music] approached wouldn't it be funny if we sold Joseph to those Merchants yeah why not we'd finally be rid of the pest 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 [Music] this God whatever happens to me I still have my faith in [Music] you you did what to 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 RI 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 pharaoh's 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 night if I only knew what my dream meant my dream was four times as confusing as yours I can tell you what it means you understand my dreams H 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 grape vine on the vine were three branches with [Music] grapes I squeezed them into Pharaoh's cup and put the Cup in Pharaoh's [Music] hand the three Vines mean that in 3 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 [Music] basket what's that all about in 3 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 Pharaoh's harshest punishment I'm [Music] sorry everything Joseph said came true but the cup Bearer forgot to tell Pharaoh about him Joseph stayed in prison for two long years then one [Music] day oh what a strange [Music] dream Pharaoh met with the wisest man in his [Music] kingdom maybe they could understand his [Music] dream but not one of them had an answer then the cup Bearer remembered his promise to Joseph oh Pharaoh there is a very wise man in your prison who might explain your [Music] 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 [Music] cows 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 Rob this man Joseph Joseph went right to [Music] work and soon the barns were bursting with grain and filled with [Music] 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 [Music] him 7 years later the terrible drought that Joseph had warned about arrived no crops grew anywhere not even in Joseph's old home Canan we're out of food father there's a wise leader in Egypt who has stored food for 7 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 [Music] me 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 Kanan 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 [Music] return 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 [Music] you take your grain and [Music] go and remember your promise father we had no choice oh Simeon my son a prisoner in Egypt but look father we got the [Music] grain hey my money's here in the [Music] sack 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 [Music] food but soon it was all [Music] 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 grave [Music] rain 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 [Music] you and you kept your promise so I'll keep [Music] 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 stop why did do you repay good with evil one of you has stolen my silver cup understand [Music] good thief for this crime you will remain here in Egypt as my [Music] slave please if Benjamin doesn't return home with us our father will die of grief he stays no 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't you tell it's me look closer and you'll see the eyes of your lost brother I am so glad to have my family gathered here it's so good to know your name again it's really me even I can hardly believe you are standing here after all these years it was God's plan for me to be just to who I am it's true you see it's really me what's done is over oh Brothers dry your tears it was God who sent me here and my heart holds no anger what you meant for evil then God has used for good who have thought he would choose me it's really me even I can hardly believe you are standing here after all these years it was God's plan for me to be just who I am it's true you see it's reallying me it's really me it's really [Music] me gather your families and our father and come live with me in Egypt Joseph God be praised you're alive and well 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 do you know how the world began how God created it by hand from mighty mountains to the Raging Sea to every leaf on every single tree it's in the holy book just open up and take a [Music] look it's a story for young and old The Greatest Story Ever Told so land and here and you will hear the greatest story [Music] The Greatest [Music] Story a long time ago Jesus travel 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 is going on don't understand 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 lamb safe he looked and [Music] looked until one [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] day the shepherd had a big celebration because he had found what he had lost 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 Jesus then told about a woman who had 10 silver coins but she lost one of them when the woman discovered she had lost the one coin she was very [Music] [Laughter] [Music] upset she spent the whole night looking for her lost coin [Music] [Laughter] [Music] a [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 beli 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 [Music] love there was once a man who was both a wealthy farmer and a loving [Music] father [Music] the father tried to teach them how to take care of [Music] things 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 hardworking [Music] Farmers but as the younger son grew up up he dreamed of distant places he didn't want to stay

old The Greatest Story Ever Told so L any and you will hear the greatest story The Greatest [Music] Story [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the 12 tribes of Israel were LED out of Egypt by [Music] Moses 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 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 [Music] sadness their leader Moses had died so they didn't have anyone to lead them to their new [Music] home boys be save yourselves today we are remembering Moses Joshua who helped Moses for those 40 years was remembering the great leader in his own special [Music] way come to cheer me up turnup what will happen to our people now that Moses is gone who will guide us to the promised land why not you Joshua turn up 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 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 [Music] you 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 [Music] Ark the river's very Swift Crossing won't be easy oh this is foolish h f following Joshua as if he were Moses are you coming Aram come let's see what will happen how about there Joshua I'll see how deep it is do you think you can cross it little one oh come on it's just a little water [Laughter] no who are you go away I am Joshua leader of the Israelites God has promised us this [Music] land didd he 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 protects Ed Moses our [Music] leader yes I've heard that your God part of the Red Sea but he has no power here stay away from Jericho or my Army will destroy [Music] you what will 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 [Music] dangerous Joshua yes God don't be afraid of the king if you trust me I will protect you Joshua did trust in God he selected two men to sneak into Jericho and tell him about the king's [Music] Army one two three soldiers now that third one is Tiny I'll only count him as half a soldier a ram we're spies that means we have to be quiet oh quiet [Music] right 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 catch [Music] them stop the spies catch the Israelites get those the they must be here [Music] somewhere you man try up that street God help us what do we do this way [Music] hurry my name's Rahab I want to help this [Music] way 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 [Music] them the king will be very unhappy if you let them get [Music] away 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 from Moses now our men are afraid to fight you [Music] go hide in the hills for 3 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 promise [Music] Rahab 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 as Rahab had said after hiding in the mountains for 3 days they ran back to Camp with their [Music] report that's what Rahab told us Joshua everyone in Jero 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 12 tribes marched towards Canaan But as God had told Joshua entering their new Homeland wasn't going to be [Music] easy how can we cross this River safely please God give me an answer the water's too fast it's too fast I'm not going anywhere no know 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 [Music] happened the priests held up the ark and God held back the [Music] waters it's just like when Moses parted the Red Sea it's true then God must be with Joshua as he was with Moses Joshua 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 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 [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] this [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] man [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 Jer 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 law 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 [Music] men they marched one time around the great [Music] City H this is not fighting this is a [Music] parade well I I guess we've [Music] [Laughter] won when do we attack the city Joshua we don't tomorrow we March around it [Music] again and just like today everyone must be quiet no shouts of war the only sounds can come from the Ram's [Music] horns so the Israelites marched once around [Music] Jericho every day for 6 days and for 6 days nothing happened you Israelites are fools and the biggest fool is your leader [Laughter] Joshua 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 and last day who will come with [Music] 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 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 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Jericho 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 Jero Bring Down the Walls lift your horns and blow sound we make it's going to shake this city to the ground we'll see the promised land when the walls come [Music] down 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 break Bring Down the Walls Bring Down the Walls of Jero Bring Down the Walls lift your horns and blow the sound we make is going to 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 us out for Long Sing to God one and all that land that we were promised is right behind those walls Bring Down the Walls bring down the wall of Jero Shadow down bring down the wall lift your horns and [Music] blow sad we make is going to shake the city to the ground we'll see the Promise stand when the walls come down we'll see the promised land when the walls come [Music] down with their voices a few Rams horns and their faith in God the Israelites captured Jericho [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 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 you can't [Applause] no has anyone seen [Music] turnup 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 hand from mighty mountains to the Raging
