The Kingdom of God

Video Lesson Ideas

lessons from Neil MacQueen

This is Part 2 of 3 lesson posts featuring Neil's Kingdom of God lesson set at rotation.org

I'm recommending four of Nest's Bible videos for these stories. Some cover the story perfectly, others include related stories, which is fine. I like all them because Jesus is the main storyteller. You can purchase these videos direct from Nest.

Nest's Animated Bible Video almost need no introduction. High Quality, Nicely Animated, True to the Word. You will find other video suggestions at this board as well by searching for your particular parable's forum.




1. Where Is It? The Short Kingdom Parables: mustard seed, leaven, pearl, treasure.

  • Begin by reviewing what the kids know (or don't) about these stories.
  • Write on the board several Questions they'll need to answer after the video.
  • Show: The Nest Video The Kingdom of Heaven ...this video doesn't focus on the Seed/Leaven, but does include other short parables about the Kingdom of God. In summary, the Kingdom is like a field where people work for a just master.
  • Debrief the Video and have the students answer the questions.





2. WHAT are WE supposed to DO in the Kingdom? The Parable of the Talents: what you do with God's gifts to build the Kingdom.

  • Begin by reviewing what the kids know (or don't) about these stories.
  • Write on the board several Questions they'll need to answer after the video.
  • Show: The Nest video The Parables of Jesus "Three of the best loved parables, The Talents, The Rich Man and Lazarus, and the Two Sons, are presented together to reinforce important principles."
  • Debrief the Video and have the students answer the questions.



3. WHO is WELCOME in God's Kingdom ...Jesus called Zaccheus into the Kingdom.

  • Begin by reviewing what the kids know (or don't) about these stories.
  • Write on the board several Questions they'll need to answer after the video.
  • Show: The Nest Video Treasures in Heaven "Learn the difference between money and riches. Jesus tells how God wants to give us the eternal treasure of salvation. Story of Zaccheus, and the rich young man."
  • Debrief the Video and have the students answer the questions.



4. How Cane We Bring It? ...Mumble the Lord's Prayer now and you'll realize it is an Outline for the Kingdom.

  • Begin by reviewing what the kids know (or don't) about these stories.
  • Write on the board several Questions they'll need to answer after the video.
  • Show the Nest Video: The Lord's Prayer
    "Jesus teaches His followers the importance and great power of sincere prayer. Journey with Jesus as He teaches His disciples about prayer through the Parable of the Friend at Night and the Parable of the Unjust Judge (also known as the Parable of the Importunate Widow)."
  • Debrief the Video and have the students answer the questions.



You can purchase these videos direct from Nest.

Alternate videos: Use the Matthew DVD from Visual Bible. It's verse for verse from Matthew, and the actor who portrays Jesus is absolutely wonderful. You can also find other video recommendations for these various parables/passages in their particular forums here at Rotation.org

Hope you enjoy my recommendations.
