Imagine having a baby when you’re 100 years old! That’s what happened to Abraham and Sarah, because God is powerful to keep his promises and gave them a son, even in their old age.
Sarah sent Ishamael and Hagar away but God promised to make Ishmael into a great nation and take care of him, even though he wasn’t the promised son. Abraham trusted God, and God provided a safe place for them to live.
Imagine having to give up what is most precious to you! Could you do it? God asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. Abraham obeyed, even though it was scary. But then God provided a sheep to be sacrificed instead. Because Abraham had not even withheld his only son from God, God gave him a BIG promise of many descendants and great blessing!
God sent a special sign to Abraham’s servant to show that Rebecca was the right choice to be Isaac’s wife! Isaac and Rebecca were married, and God’s promises of a great nation began to be fulfilled! Today, we can look at God’s word to guide us even when things are difficult.
Jacob and Rebecca tricked Isaac into giving Jacob his blessing, instead of Esau. When we lie to each other, there are sad consequences. But amazingly, God is still able to work through people’s sin to keep his promises.
The night before Jacob met Esau, he wrestled with a mysterious man! The man gave Jacob a new name: ‘Israel’, which means ‘to wrestle with God’. The struggle showed Jacob that he could trust God, even when it was scary!
In the 2nd episode of ‘What was it like to be with Jesus?’, we see him walking on water and calming a storm. Wow – only God could do that! Watch to discover what happens to Peter…
Jacob had a dream of a stairway to heaven filled with angels, with God at the top. God made the same 3 BIG promises he’d made to Abraham to Jacob of many descendants to fill the promised land, and enjoy great blessing.
In the last episode of ‘What was it like to be with Jesus?’, Jesus rises from the dead! He has defeated death and we can come to him for forgiveness and eternal life, when we will know fully what it’s like to be with Jesus.
In the fifth episode of ‘What was it like to be with Jesus?’, we see that Jesus’ death was all part of God’s plan to save us from sin. We can say “sorry” to God and “thank you” to Jesus for rescuing us!
In the fourth episode of ‘What was it like to be with Jesus?’, Jesus gives his friends a special meal to remember him by: bread and wine to show his death on the cross to save us from our sins.
In the third episode of ‘What was it like to be with Jesus?’, Jesus asks his followers, “who do you say I am?” Peter answers ‘the Messiah’, which means God’s special king. How would you answer Jesus’ question?
In the first episode of ‘What was it like to be with Jesus?’ we meet Simon, Andrew, James and John who leave EVERYTHING to follow Jesus and have their lives changed and transformed by him!
God made three BIG promises to Abraham to do with the promised land, lots of children, and great blessing. These promises were God’s grace to those who didn’t deserve it but were loved by God.
Laban tricked Jacob the same way Jacob tricked Esau. But despite Laban’s lies and deceit, God looked after Jacob and his family. God’s plans are much bigger than human plans so nothing can get in the way of him keeping his promises.
In the Bible, God made a BIG promise to his people when they were scared about going to a new place. He told, ”be strong and courageous… I am with you, wherever you go”. So whether we’re nervous or excited, we can trust God’s promise to be with us as we go back to school.
Bernie leaves Ben’s house in a mess while he is away. Even though Ben showed great generosity, Bernie still took him for granted. God’s people needed to work hard at living in God’s way, and had to be reminded of God’s Word and their identity once again.
The house is finally done, and there is a ceremony to celebrate! God’s people in Nehemiah’s time also thanked and celebrated God and his provision!
Ben welcomes Bernie into his home, despite the number of times he tried to stop their building work. This episode demonstrates the forgiveness and kindness of God to us, even when we consistently mess up.
Bernie gets caught stealing tools from Tommy, but is immediately sorry for doing so. God loves it when we are sorry and repent, and he continues to love and forgive us when we mess up.
Ben helps Bernie out by reading the instruction manual to assemble a cement mixer. God’s people in Jerusalem listened for hours to God’s Word, so they returned to living in the way that God instructs.
Before Ben properly moves into his new home, he counts up all of his possessions to make sure he has everything he needs (and throws out anything he doesn’t need).
The remarkable story of God’s power and Nehemiah’s faith, as they managed to finish building in just 52 days!
Arguments are breaking out in Ben’s construction site – what will he do to keep the peace? When Nehemiah’s team faced internal quarrelling, he had to remind them of God’s goodness and provision up to that point.
Ben is in danger! Bernie is attempting crazy stunts to try and stop Ben and Tommy from building. He needs to protect his workers, just as Nehemiah had to protect God’s people while their enemies were threatening them.
In the process of rebuilding, Bernie tries to help but he just makes a mess and destroys things. Nehemiah also faced different sorts of people on his team, yet he still knew that God would ensure that the work would be completed.
Ben and Tommy are worried that they won’t get the house done, because Bernie is trying to stop them! As they learn about Nehemiah, they hear of how he trusted that God would do what he promised – he just needed to trust and obey God.
Meet Ben the Builder and Tommy the Toolbox as they begin their adventure into rebuilding a whole house. They find out about Nehemiah’s plans to rebuild Jerusalem, and how he prayed to God for people to help them.

Lot moved to Sodom which had an impressive town and lots of green spaces. But Abraham didn’t focus on what looked best. Instead, he trusted in what God had in store for him. Today, we can trust God and turn to him when making decisions by reading God’s word in the Bible and praying.
The story of the Flood teaches us how S.I.N. makes God feel, how God punishes sin and how God provides a rescue for those who trust in him. Whenever we see a rainbow in the sky, we can remember God’s promise to rescue those who trust in him through Jesus!
The Fall is when S.I.N. came into the world. Sin is when we say ‘Shove off God, I’m in charge, No to your rule.’ In the garden, the man and woman lived happily in relationship with God – until the crafty serpent tempted them to eat fruit forbidden by God.
Genesis means the “beginning”. When the world began, God didn’t need any ingredients or art supplies – there was nothing there. Instead, God created the world by speaking.
Are you heading back to school soon? Did you know that God promises to be with anyone who is trusting in him!
This 12-episode, ancient Rome-themed series effectively combines Horrible Histories-style humour and accessible gospel content to help children learn and rejoice in the Lord, and recall these truths for years to come.
Romulus Ratus learns Paul’s secret to being content, even when things go well for others or even when they don’t go well for you. With Jesus’ help, we can be happy with what we have, rather than envying others and grumbling.
Instead of being united, Romulus Ratus and Epaphorditus argue about missing apple pies! Instead of worrying, we can rejoice and take all our worries to him in prayer.
Postman Petros is a Roman citizen and he wants to return to his people and his family. In the same way, Christians are citizens of heaven and they belong to God’s family. One day they will all be united together!
Postman Petros knows that he doesn’t need to be the strongest or cleverest or fastest or bravest. Living for Jesus is about putting him and other Christians first, and he is willing to risk his life for Jesus.
Aside from having good table manners, Epaphroditus lives for Jesus in all he does and honours God with how he treats people. That means he’s a godly example for the Philippians Christians, just like Paul says in his letter.
Postman Petros and Philippa help Romulus Ratus understand that Jesus wants us to shine like stars not because life is all about ‘ME’, but so he gets the glory! Grumbling puts ‘ME’ first, not Jesus.
After Epaphroditus gets stuck in a cave, instead of being selfish Romulus Ratus goes back to rescue him! Knowing Jesus should change the way we live, because we can follow his example of putting others first.
Postman Petros and Romulus Ratus meet Epaphoroditus, a Christian who can show them the way to Phil and Philippa’s house, and is very excited to read Paul’s letter!
Postman Petros is beginning to despair that he will ever escape prison, but Romulus Ratus reminds him what Paul’s priorities were. Paul’s life was all about Jesus and telling others about him.
Postman Petros is stuck in prison after being chased by the Roman guards! Take a closer look at Paul’s letter – instead of being discouraged that he was locked up, Paul used the opportunity to tell the guards and prisoners about Jesus!
Postman Petros feels like giving up on his mission to deliver Paul’s letter to the Philippians Christians. But Romulus Ratus knows where to look for encouragement – at the letter Postman Petros has from Paul!
Meet Postman Petros and Romulus Ratus! Postman Pete has just arrived in Philippi to deliver a letter from Paul. Paul is in prison in Rome, so he should be sad but he is full of joy. Discover why…
The 2020 Olympic games in Tokyo bring together athletes from different ages, classes, race and countries. Sport gives us a wonderful picture of running the race of the Christian life alongside Jesus and knowing he has already secured our victory.
When we gather together for teaching, prayer, community and remembering Jesus’s death and resurrection, God’s promise is that he will grow his church. How will you see his work continues?
Followers of Jesus have believed his message and accepted his invitation. If you’re not yet a follower of Jesus, having now heard his message, will you accept his invitation to follow him as Lord and receive the Spirit?
How ready are you to speak up and speak out about Jesus? The same Holy Spirit from Acts is sent to live in every follower of Jesus, so God can work through us, and enables us to say the things that need to be said so people can be saved.
Jesus has left us with an important job to do: continue his work, by being his witnesses, while we wait for him to return from heaven. We’re not alone: armed with the Bible and the Spirit, we have God’s words and God’s power.
The most important decision is the decision to follow Jesus as Lord – or not. This is a decision should be made carefully, based on what God has said about Jesus, and prayerfully, asking him to help you to make the right choice.
Resolutions seem designed to show weakness. This poem explains Jesus kept his resolution to free us from failure as he cried “It is finished!”
This 11-episode, lab-themed series introduces children to the books of Job, Proverbs, Psalms, Ecclesiastes and Song of Songs, and gives a thorough, accessible overview of what they have to say about God and living wisely for him.
This 11-episode, hospital-themed series makes Jesus’ healing relevant and accessible and doesn’t shy away from the big questions children (and adults!) have about whether the miracles really happened, what we make of evil spirits, whether Jesus heals today and why God allows people to be ill.
Doctor Folly is finally defeated by Stu Dent and Professor Wise in the Wisdom Lab! Being wise isn’t about being clever and knowing lots, it’s about being right with God and sticking with him even when times are hard.
In God’s Big Book of Wisdom, we see that when bad things happen, God hasn’t abandoned us. In fact, he cares for us so much that he has always had a plan to destroy sin, pain, and death through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross.
Doctor Folly is jealous of Professor Wise and tries to get rid of all the praise she receives! The Pharisees tried a similar thing with Jesus on Palm Sunday. They tried to shush the crowd and stop them from cheering Jesus, God’s special king.
Doctor Folly mischievously tries to trap Stu Dent while Professor Wise is away! Sometimes we have people around us to rely on, but sometimes we don’t. Whatever our situation, God is always looking after us.
Doctor Folly has a problem! She can’t work out what the point of life is: is it about having fun, working, going on holiday or eating food? We can trust God to help us through each day, whether they’re good or bad.
Stu Dent and Doctor Folly get into a spot of bother with some love potion! What does God’s Big Book of Wisdom have to say about love and following our feelings? In the Song of Songs, we learn about God’s love for us and how we should love other people.
In today’s video, Job loses something much more important than Stu Dent’s forgotten science formula: everything he owned, his health and his family. God teaches Job and us that’s it’s easy to think we have all the answers and are in charge. But in reality, only God knows exactly why things happen as they do.
The one place we can trust to find the truth is God’s Big Book of Wisdom, which helps us unpack what’s going on when we suffer, how sin fits in, whether we’re being punished and where God is when things go wrong.
Professor Wendy Wise and Stu Dent take a look at the book of Job in God’s Big Book of Wisdom. Sometimes, even when we live God’s way, our life can be very hard. But Job shows us that God is good and worth following even when life is hard and bad things happen to us.
Stu Dent, Doctor Folly and Professor Wendy Wise look at God’s Big Book of Wisdom and see what it has to say about being lazy and working hard. God has designed us to work hard as well as rest in his world!
Meet Stu Dent, Doctor Folly and Professor Wendy Wise and join them on their quest for a wisdom formula! In God’s Big Book of Wisdom, we learn that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10).
Jesus healed Bartimaeus so he could see, and instead of going off to celebrate after years of blindness and begging, he followed Jesus! That’s a bit weird, isn’t it? But Bartimaeus had now seen who Jesus was with his heart and his head. He wanted to follow his Saviour wherever he was going!
Nurse Left learns a lot about what trusting those in charge looks like, just like the disciples do in our Bible story. They couldn’t drive an evil spirit out of a boy because they hadn’t prayed to God. But we can have confidence that God is always listening and loves to answer our prayers!
Jesus healed the blind man in two stages, so he could see! But it’s possible to be able to see clearly but still be blind to who Jesus is. How can that be? Lots of people today only clearly see things that don’t really matter and won’t last forever. They miss that Jesus is God’s Son!
Jesus healed a man who couldn’t hear OR speak so that he was better, and so he understood about Jesus in his heart! He was AMAZED because he knew Jesus was God’s son and he had power and authority from God.
Death can be a scary thing to think about, but the truth is that we all die one day. But Jesus had power and compassion to bring other people back from the dead – and he didn’t stay dead after he died on the cross for us either!
Jesus had power and compassion to totally transform the man who was trapped by a scary evil spirit, so the man could be happy, free and follow Jesus! This is a picture of how Jesus frees us from our sin to follow him!
The Pharisees were the goody two shoes of their day. But Jesus shows us that God’s law is about loving others and God, not obeying rules. We don’t keep the rules perfectly or love God and others perfectly. But Jesus died for proud law-breakers like you and me so that we can be forgiven.
Come and hear today’s story about a paralysed man who came through a roof! But although the man was sick, what he needed more than anything else was to be forgiven and to have his insides or his soul fixed by Jesus.
Jesus wasn’t just powerful – he really cared about people. Jesus didn’t just care about their broken bodies and sicknesses, he also cared about their insides or their souls, which were broken because of sin. That’s why Jesus came to preach about forgiveness, as well as heal people!
Jesus SHOCKED everyone when he chose to go and preach to different people, rather than stay and heal sick people. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be made better. But it’s important we see that the most important thing to God is that we know and love him, not our own health, wealth or happiness.
Come and meet Doctor Wright, Nurse Left and Consultant Klutz who work at JC Hospital – and Jesus, who has authority over everything! Jesus has power over every situation, could heal all sorts of people of all sorts of illnesses and he even has authority over the Devil and evil spirits because he is the Son of God.
