I am dyslexic which makes it really hard for me to read. Right now in college I am taking a new testament history class and these videos have helped me so much throughout the class. Thank You!

this is my second time reading 1 peter and v. 5:7, specifically 'for HE CARES FOR YOU' really had stuck out to me.. its like it all of a sudden hit me that God loves me. idk why it's so difficult to get the idea through my heart.. but im starting to really see jesus as a friend and god as our loving father...

I can't believe how much I have learned from these videos I love it

I always watch these videos before starting a new book of the Bible. They're so helpful for me to get my bearings, especially in long and complicated ones like Genesis and Isaiah. I'm on track to have read the Bible cover to cover by the end of this year, and I have you to thank for that, at least in part! (The videos are especially helpful because I have ADHD, and therefore a lot of stuff gets jumbled in my head really quickly)

I use these to train my kids as we study books of the Bible! Here are some questions I created as a guide for them, hope it helps! Bible Project questions: 1. When he made his confession that Jesus was the Messiah, Jesus changed his name to _____________, which is Aramaic for ______________, & was later translated into Greek as ______________. 2. Peter’s writings are to mostly non-Jewish Christians who were being persecuted, facing _______________ & ______________ from their Greek & Roman neighbors. 3.

Baptism is a sacred _____________ showing that Christians are _____________ to _____________. 11. According to Peter, what is “The real enemy?” & how do we resist this evil?

Bible project is the answer to my prayers thank you

There was a time in my walk with God that my love and will to serve him was shaken, I had trouble finding myself in him. Then God sent the Bible project to me. Thank you Jesus!

I love how I have been raised in the church but yet never have I heard (or made the obvious connection myself) that baptism alludes to The Flood ...🧠💥. Thanks y'all!

Students are conducting online Bible test series in our college during the quarantine.Whenever they announce the portions, they suggest to watch Bible project videos for quick overview. Your works are very useful. God bless.

Love these videos. They not only bring God’s word alive to me, they help me see ideas I had not seen before! Thank you for all you are doing in spreading God’s Word of love!

Perhaps the friendliest male voice I have ever heard. I greatly enjoy listening to your explanations.

Yes, life’s hardship deepens our faith, thank you.

I've studied scripture for most of my life. These videos really help me focus on key points instead of just getting lost in just story telling.

I really like the picture of the big Jesus comforting the suffereing Christians.

This epistle has a great deal of validity and importance (as does 2 Peter) because it was written by one who confessed Jesus as the promised Messiah, then denied knowing Jesus on the eve of the crucifixion. Therefore, Peter really knew about the pressure of persecution among believers. He could really connect with his audience and sympathize with them.

I watch these after I read the book , thank you for these. God bless 🙏🏽

I lead family devotionals and this is where I go when we start to read a new epistle. Thank you so much for your work!

A message hope in the midst of confusion, persecution and strife. God bless you and your ministry.

These Bible explanations are so deep and yet easy to understand. Thank you for all the work and thought you put in each one of these videos. Thank God for his love compelled you to produce this awesome work.

4:30 - "I wasn't finished oppressing you!" LOL

Humble servants of God, you are really serving God through helping people understand His Word better.

I really enjoyed the video! Jesus is the way to everlasting life!

Praise the Lord Jesus the King of kings and Lord of lords for raising you in His grace, and blessing you with all spiritual blessings. These videos have been a major help. May you reach more lost souls in your witness for Jesus, until He comes! These videos rock!

4:45 a.m. Woke w/ inspiration to go to “1 Peter.” Honestly wasn’t even sure there was a 1 Peter to go to. Now I’m just praising God & reveling in His love for me. I am blessed! The other cool thing is… of all the options to read this scripture, I scrolled down & selected one ( past the 1st video link I saw) it too offered this video link, which I then followed. I immediately recognized the voice of the man I just watched 2 days ago explaining ‘what most people believe Christians believe vs what the Bible truly teaches’ ( clear dry erase board/ linear life experience). I was greatly impressed by that first encounter w/ the BibleProject & now this. 🙏🏼 Thank you.

Wonderful work, as always, creators of the Bible Project. Thank you for combining the knowledge of scholars, pastors and artists to break down the Lord’s word so that others may read it and comprehend it more easily. I use your videos as I read my bible to help me understand more complex passages in ways I have never thought of before. I am broken-hearted for my country as I watch this video. Divisions exist so deeply between Christians and non-Christians, and anger and bitterness exists on both sides. This is an opportunity for Christians to show that we are different- we have the Lord’s spirit in us, and we are full of love and generosity. However I feel like many people who wear the title “Christian” fight back instead of forgive.

Thank you so much for your ministry to the Body of Christ! The Lord bless and prosper you more.

Much knowledge and wisdom.. Positive out come everytime we are doers of the word and not just listers..Victory for sure! Yes! Amen to God's truth being Told ❤

Peter is an even cooler book than I remember. 😍 Thanks for the amazing summary. I gotta read this again!

Amen! I Love this, connect Them ALL, GOD BLESS YOU IN JESUS'S NAME! Amen!!!

These videos help me understand the Bible! The short video length isn't overwhelming, but keeps you engaged

Thank you Lord I really like the Bible project thank you and I will try and read the Bible more .

So many of the earlier posts made me cry with joyous compassion I had to stop reading them several times and then continue. BibleProject has a wonderful platform going and I hope God continues to bless the work and the followers.

Bless you for providing this wonderful service to seekers and believers alike. I am already retired and still have not read the Bible from start to finish! Now that daunting task is no longer ahead thanks to your "overviews" of just about every single book in the Bible (have not correlated yet but I'm sure if anything is not there, you will make sure it gets there! Thank you so very much for your commitment and your sterling artwork!

please keep these videos up FOREVER. I want to show them to my kids when I have them.

@BibleProject Love everything about Project Bible. This team has worked hard to demonstrate the Bible's complexities and simplicities. Peter is amazing! Make no mistake... I've failed God 3 times and he still has a story written for me.

I've gain more insight and understanding of the Book of Peter. I'm so so delighted. Blessings

That was such an amazing breakdown of the book. Thank you guys so much for all the effort and time you put into these wonderful, educational videos ❤️.

I'm already looking forward to 2 Peter! Thank you so much!

Nailed It! Again... every video is so right on point, with no extraneous dogmatic doctrines. I love it. I pray for your continued blessings The Bible Project, so you may continue the great work of The Kingdom of Heaven. 🙏🏼🛐✝️💜

Just like The *3 Phases Of Truth* “All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as self-evident.” - 19th century German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer

Blessings in an abundance of the faith. I salute you. 😘🙏Grace and peace be unto you and to this place. Thank you. God bless you. 😊Will you believe and receive Jesus Christ as your LORD and personal saviour??? I do. 😊

I'm brasiliam, You is incredible, continue with your project!

Blessings and prayers to all pray for each other a lot of power in prayer🙏🌷😇💞 Thank you so much BibleProject for all you do I the pray the lord continue to keep you safe and protect🙏🙏

Thank you so much for these videos. They help me understand the bible so much more. God has truly used you to bless people!

ik bidt dat GOD julie verder mag gebruiken. Jullie zijn een zegen voor anderen. God bless

Love your series. I do not think he was writing to Gentiles but to the Jews in dispertion, a continuance of the Old Testament dispensation.

Praise God for this explanation.

Peter's teaching is DEFINITELY the power and truth of the HOLY SPIRIT! I TOTALLY AGREE WITH AND UNDERSTAND THE THEME OF LOVE! LOVE CONQUERS ALL! ALSO, its so beautiful and amazing how the people who suffered the MOST and treated the worst, become GOD'S CHOSEN! LOVE IT!! THESE TEACHINGS STAND THE TEST OF TIME BECAUSE PETER IS GUIDED AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, IN WHICH IS THE TRUTH, THE WAY AND THE LIGHT. AND ALWAYS WILL BE FOREVER AND EVER..........TIMELESS. PRAISE GOD, THANK U JESUS

I just wanted to say thank you for taking time to make these videos, I always learn something new. ❤️❤️

Hope - this word used today means, wishful (thinking) or unsure optimism. The biblical usage, Hebrew/Greek, is much different. Here, hope is an indication of certainty, akin to Trust and a confident outcome. Love these videos!!!

Also very much appreciated is the length of the videos. It's long enough to teach & short enough not to lose ones attention. That is a rather crucial key to retain me in a regular basis. If a video drags out, I forget what I just heard. So if I can old unto a key thought; I can retain just about enough to ponder after the video is over. Thanks so much.

You guys should really make a nice Bible movie because it will be 👍🏽

This is a brilliant video as always. So clear and concise; providing a perfect overview before reading the actual book. It also highlights this idea that suffering for a Christian is not random, but is part of God’s redemptive plan for us. Bishop Bob Barron says it in this way - “there is no such thing as dumb suffering”. “In the world you will face tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

Such a relevant video and chapter of scripture for this week of events.

Your videos is like manna from heaven. THANK YOU

Awesome teachings! God bless you for the good work you are doing.

really appreciate these videos, helps me out before I start to study and teach Gods word

Amen 🙏❤‍🔥. Good Afternoon Bible Project ☀. Thank you for today`s video, keep up the good work as always. May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you all and your families as well. Happy Holidays. 🙏❤‍🔥
