- Jesus, the Son of God
E1Jesus, the Son of GodSpeechless. That’s often how people found themselves when they came face-to-face with astonishing wisdom of Jesus of Nazareth. From the learned rabbis in the temple whose jaws dropped open at the words of a 12-year-old Jesus, to the wilderness defeat of Satan who unsuccessfully tempted the Savior even after He had grown pale with hunger from a 40-day fast, this compelling and swiftly moving video takes you on a remarkable tour of Jesus’ early years. Walk where Jesus walked and you, too, will find yourself speechless as you witness these remarkable episodes taken from the life of Jesus, the Son of God. - Bread from Heaven
E2Bread from HeavenBread from Heaven is an account of how Jesus has compassion for the multitudes that have come to hear Him minister. The story begins with a young street urchin named Jonas who is begging for each bit of food he can get. After an incident of trickery, he takes bread from the local bakers, Zeke and Jethro. He refuses to share his bread with an old man who is weak and clearly in need of nourishment. Later Jonas finds himself listening to the words of Jesus on the mountain. He is inspired by His message. When Jesus asks for food to feed the people, Jonas unselfishly offers the five loaves and two fishes. After Jesus prays over the food, the disciples feed the people. Zeke and Jethro are amazed at the miracle of feeding the masses and come up with a plan to make Jesus king. They want Jesus to perform miracles so they will no longer have to work. When Jesus tells them He is the Bread of Life, the bakers think He is joking and return to their ovens. - The Lost Is Found
E4The Lost Is FoundThose who recognize their won sins often rejoice that Jesus would want to help anyone so lost. Three such sinners – Matthew the Publican, Miriam the harlot and a sick man name Jonah come to Jesus in needs of hope, healing and forgiveness. Weaving together many New Testament stories, including the parables of the Lost Coin and the Lost Sheep, this tale shows how Jesus generously extends His mercy to each sinner and lovingly brings the repentant back to the fold. - Lazarus Lives
E5Lazarus LivesMortal’s greatest fear is death. Lazarus Lives gives assurance that Jesus has all power over death. This is miraculously shown when the Master travels to meet Lazarus’ sisters, Martha and Mary, after Lazarus has lain dead in the tomb for four days. When Jesus comes to Bethany, He mourns Lazarus’ death and His friends witness the deep love He has for His friends. Martha and Mary’s tears of sorrow are changed instantly to joy when their brother Lazarus’ life is restored, and they understand the Savior’s promise of eternal life to all who believe in Jesus. - Lord, I Believe
E6Lord, I Believeord, I believe is an inspiring collection of three stories where Jesus teaches His disciples through word and deed the magnificent power of faith. Witness the kind Roman centurion who kneels before the Master and pleads for his dying servant. The servant is healed instantly because he asked in faith without doubting. Jesus’ words of comfort are as powerful as His miracles. Saying “weep not,” He raises the son of a poor widow of Nain. Lastly, a man with weakened faith begs the Master to make his son whole. Jesus answers, “all things are possible to him that believeth,” Jesus teaches that if our faith is only the size of a tiny mustard seed, nothing shall be impossible. - The Lord's Prayer
E7The Lord's PrayerEveryone who watches The Lord’s Prayer will know how to have the great power Jesus promised every believer. On many occasions Jesus taught His disciples the power of prayer through parables and His personal example. After Jesus’ resurrection and ascension into Heaven, His disciples find their faith greatly tested when Peter is arrested and cast into a Roman prison. As Herod plots Peter’s death, the believers gather together and follow the example that Jesus taught. Through faith and persistent prayer, Peter’s chains are broken and the Angel of the Lord opens the prison gates. The united prayer of the righteous saves Peter and is still a power on Earth without equal. - The Messiah Comes!
E8The Messiah Comes!In His final days on earth, Jesus’ disciples struggle to understand His mission. They are blinded by their expectations of the Messiah, thinking He would deliver them from Roman rule. “The Messiah Comes” makes the message plain while teaching children that Jesus offers deliverance from the bondage of sin and death and gives hope of eternal life through His atonement. - Parables of Jesus
E9Parables of JesusThis story reinforces the principles of forgiveness, compassion and stewardship. The parables teach us to be good stewards of our time and the things we have been given. The Parables of Jesus includes three of the most loved parables: The Two Sons, The Rich Man and Lazarus and The Talents. The video begins with Jesus telling the story of the two sons. It is harvest time and the two sons cannot be found. Their father searches out to find his sons so the harvest would not be lost. The oldest son, who is suppose to inherit the vineyard, is found relaxing by the shore and promises to come help but does not. The younger son is frustrated about doing all the work since his brother will inherit the land. He refusing to come help, but changes his mind and returns to the vineyard to ask his father for forgiveness and to help with the harvest. In the end, the father rewards the youngest son with the vineyard because he was always there for him and used his time wisely. Next, the parable of The Rich Man and Lazarus is told by Jesus. Lazarus is very poor and is searching for food in front of a rich man's house. He begs for the scraps from the rich man's plate. The rich man refuses to help Lazarus. Both Lazarus and the rich man die and find themselves in two very different places. Father Abraham welcomes and comforts Lazarus while the rich man is in torment because of his actions on earth. The last parable, The Talents, is a teaching about the Kingdom of Heaven. A master is preparing to go on a long journey and leaves his three servants entrusted with his property and money. He instructs them to multiply their coins and that there will be an accounting upon his return. All will receive the same reward if they do their best. Two of the three use their time wisely, multiply their coins and help others while investing their money. The third servant does not use his time wisely nor invest his money. Upon the master's return, he rewards the two servants whom used their time wisely and for the good of others, while the third is not rewarded because he did not use the talents that he was given. - Worthy Is the Lamb
E10Worthy Is the LambExperience the Passion of Christ. Witness the fulfillment of ancient prophecies. Pray with Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, “Not my will, but thy will be done.” Feel the betrayal of Judas’ kiss. Endure the trial and crucifixion as Jesus willingly submits. Rejoice in the knowledge that Jesus’ death and resurrection provides pardon for our sin. - Built Upon the Rock
E11Built Upon the RockJesus is asked to judge an inheritance dispute, but instead he uses this divisive conflict between brothers to affirm the eternal ideal of His Beatitudes which He taught in the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus teaches the wronged brother to forgive and love his brother. All who follow Jesus must learn that what we own has little to do with who we are. Important ideals of stewardship and preparedness are emphasized through the parable of the House Build Upon the Rock. - Signs of the Times
E12Signs of the TimesJesus uses the parables of the King's Wedding feast" and the "Thief in the Night" to teach his disciples to have humility, to repent, and to be prepared for the day He will come again. Jesus teaches his followers to patiently watch for the significant signs that will precede His Second Coming.
