Last Words Of Christ: The Disciples And The Donkey (Palm Sunday)

Video Illustration

Produced by Skit Guys

One of the disciples struggles with the assignment they’ve been given by Jesus — to get a donkey. The other reminds him of the miracles Jesus has performed, and ultimately convinces his fellow disciple that they can trust Jesus, even if they don’t understand why He’s asking them to do this. This video is based on Luke 23:46 and is part of the Last Words of Christ Easter series, and can also stand alone as a Palm Sunday video or sermon illustration on trusting God.

Who Am I

Video Illustration

Produced by Big Pie Publishing

The song Who Am I (That You Would Die for Me) began during a powerful moment of prayer beneath a Colorado night sky. As the songwriter experienced Psalm 8:3-4 in a personal way, the music and lyrics began to flow together. The video combines the song with beautiful artwork and the end result is perfect for messages about the cross and God’s love. It’s also suitable for Easter and Good Friday. The song is available on iTunes or at www.ToddVaters.com.
