Sometimes the Bible is hard to understand. So we started to make these Overview Explainers to help understand the meaning of every book of the Bible. To make this happen we collaborated with our good friends at BibleProject- combining their illustrations with our art-style, music and voicing. First off, we think you’ll enjoy them but also you’ll learn while watching! A big plus is that they pair well with listening to the STREETLIGHTS’ Audio Bible too.

Join us as we learn about the most well-known collection of Jesus' teachings, the Sermon on the Mount.

Sermon on the Mount

A docudrama on the life of Jesus Christ, the “JESUS” film has been translated into more than 1,400 languages since its 1979 release. It remains the most translated and viewed film in history. Pastor Rick Warren, author of “The Purpose Driven Life,” says “The ‘JESUS’ film is the most effective evangelistic tool ever invented.”

More than 450 religious leaders and scholars evaluated the script to ensure historical and biblical accuracy. The script is closely based on Luke's Gospel, so almost every word Jesus speaks is from the Bible. Rigorous efforts to portray the Jewish and Roman culture of nearly 2,000 years ago include: hand-woven clothing in only the 35 colors used then, pottery made with first-century methods, and removal of modern telephone poles and power lines from the landscape.

JESUS was filmed entirely at 202 locations in Israel in 1979, with a cast numbering more than 5,000 Israelis and Arabs. Whenever possible, scenes were filmed on the sites where they took place 2,000 years ago.

The Bible is a very long book that tells a story with complex layers of plots and subplots, and it’s written in a variety of ancient literary styles. All of these factors make the Bible a formidable and often frustrating book for modern readers, including religious readers. And yet, the Bible still has a magnetic draw in our culture which motivates people to overcome these hurdles and attempt to understand what the Bible is all about.  This series will explore the origins, content, and purpose of the Bible, and it will introduce people to some of the basic skills necessary for reading the Bible effectively. The first few videos will provide an overview of where the Bible came from and what its storyline is all about. After this introduction, the rest of the series will explore all the various kinds of ancient literature found in the Bible and will offer practical skills for reading them with greater understanding. The How to Read the Bible series assumes no previous knowledge about the Bible, and is an ideal way to introduce people to the Bible for the first time. It’s also aimed at people who are familiar with the Bible but haven’t yet learned how it communicates as a piece of literature.
