The Wonder Of His Love

Video Illustration

Produced by Skit Guys

Picturing Mary’s reaction to her supernatural pregnancy, it’s hard to imagine how she’d handle it. What would she tell her parents? How would she feel? The angel told Mary not to be afraid. She dared to trust God as He arrived as a baby and eventually died as a criminal, but nothing would prepare her to understand how God’s love would impact her life and the world.

The Locusts

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!

The Beautiful Celebration

Video Illustration

Produced by Skit Guys

That first Palm Sunday was a day of celebrating what is, with no idea of what’s to come. People cheered for Jesus – a good teacher, a divine prophet, and a miracle worker. But they couldn’t imagine that He would be the fulfillment of a prophecy, heal sin, and show the world what love truly is. This video allows us to join in the chorus of the voices of those on Palm Sunday, celebrating what God has done and what He will do. This video is part of THE BEAUTIFUL EMPTY Easter series.

Easter Upside Down: Mara

Video Illustration

Produced by Skit Guys

As we imagine what the preparation for the Last Supper may have been like, we hear Mara share her story, revealing what she witnessed from outside the room where Jesus and the disciples gathered. She expresses her shock at Jesus washing the feet of the other men, and her amazement at Jesus’ words. She realizes that Jesus — the living bread — was about to turn the world upside down. Use at any point during your Easter series, or as part of a Maundy Thursday service.

A Message For Dad

Produced by Freebridge Media

It’s hard to imagine where I’d be without you Dad. The truth is, I’ve learned so much by simply watching you. I’ve learned what it means to care about people and put others before myself. I’ve learned how to live a life of integrity and have the heart of a servant. I’ve learned to honor God in all I do and seek His will for my life. As I look back I can see moment after moment where your strength, your wisdom, and your love made all the difference. There is so much of you I carry with me, memories I treasure and lessons I cherish. Today Dad, I want to say thank you and let you know just how much…I love you. Happy Father’s Day!

Scripture: Psalm 103:13, Proverbs 3:11-12, Proverbs 10:9

New

Video Illustration

Produced by Freebridge Media

The New Year is often a time of reflection. A chance to look back on the past 365 days and remember. Sometimes the memories bring a smile and other times they break our hearts. Chances are, you’ve experienced a bit of both this past year. The New Year is also a time to look ahead. To imagine what could be. To scan the horizon with expectation and seek God’s guiding hand. It’s a time to strive for better. To live louder, love stronger and be more of who God has created us to be. It’s an opportunity for new beginnings. A chance to start fresh, pursue God with a renewed passion, and to press on with all our hearts. The truth is, God has been faithful this past year and that faithfulness promises to carry us through the next. As a new year begins may we remember this one simple truth; In Christ we are a new creation, the old has gone and the new has come.

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17, Philippians 3:14, Isaiah 40:31, Lamentations 3:22-23
