MEDIA FOR THE KINGDOM
OF GOD
For Children
In Discovering the Kingdom: Jesus’ Kingdom Parables (VC or DVB-308.6), through The Parable of the Sower and other Kingdom Parables, Jesus explains to people of His time and to all of us what this mysterious kingdom is all about. Children will discover that they are members of the greatest kingdom ever—the Kingdom of God.
For Youth
VCY-519 is a Bible Study series for youth. In this series Ted and Lee, a well-known comedy team, bring humor and new insight into familiar Bible stories. In Episode 2, Big Enough for You: God’s Amazing Acceptance, Ted and Lee bring to life the Apostle Paul, jailed and struggling with a letter he’s writing to the Colossians.
