Video Illustration

Produced by Coldwater Media

This clip, from Drive Thru History with Dave Stotts "The Gospels" tells the story of the Israelites who had long lived under a variety of oppressors. During the time of Jesus' birth the Jewish people were under the rule of the Roman Empire. While the Roman province of Judea and Galilee was quite small, the impact of the Roman Empire and its culture was quite prominent, and the pagan religion was a great offense to the Jewish people. Under the authority of Rome, Herod the Great was the reigning, "King of the Jews".

The Locusts

Video Illustration

Produced by Sourceflix

In the spring of 2013 a swarm of locusts around 120 million strong had devastated crops in Egypt for several days and was headed toward Israel. I will never forget seeing these locusts carried in on the wind, eating everything in their path. I sat in my car recounting the Exodus story and trying to imagine the swarms that overtook Egypt thousands of years ago. “Never before had there been such a plague of locusts, nor will there ever be again.” Ultimately the Israelites were delivered from the plagues and Egypt by the blood of the Lamb!

Witness His Resurrection: Mary Magdalene

Video Illustration

Produced by Skit Guys

Mary Magdalene knew what it was like to be repulsive to others, ignored, undeserving until she met Jesus. She discovered that other’s perception of her was not the image Jesus saw. When she realized that Jesus believed in her, she believed in Him and was there the morning He rose from the grave. Her story will remind people that Jesus loves them even if they feel unlovable, and encourage your congregation to keep telling others about what He has done for them.
