Long long time ago there lived a farmer one day he planted some seeds in his field
he took a handful of seeds and carefully tossed them onto the soil and covered the seeds with more
soil and waited for the plants to grow since the farmer tossed the seeds onto the soil
the seeds fell into four different kinds of soil fuel fell on the pavement where people walked
where the soil was hard and packed the seeds which fell on the pavement just rolled on the top
of it and birds came flying and ate them up there were few seeds which fell on the rocky soil these
seeds sprouted very quickly and in a few days they had leaves and roots sprouting out of them
but soon the plants were dead because the roots could not grow through the rocky soil
when the roots died the plants died too there were few seeds which fell onto the ground which
was full of weeds and thorns these seeds sprouted and began to grow but they never got very big the
weeds entangled and covered the plants and took up all the sun and the nutrition from the soil
these plants could never grow or produce any grains the seeds which fell onto the fourth kind
of soil which was the very fertile soil started sprouting and leaves began to appear these plants
grew healthy roots and the plants began to grow every day healthy and nourished grains began to
appear on the stalks and when the right time came the farmer picked the grains to sell them
or crush them to make flour for bread what did jesus want to teach through this parable holy
through this parable what jesus wanted his followers to understand was that his
teachings about the kingdom of god are like the seeds which the farmer had tossed onto the soil
not everyone who heard jesus believed what he said just like not all of the farmer's seeds
grew healthy and nourished every person is born with different kinds of hearts just like there are
different kinds of soil jesus further explained the hard soil of the pavement is like the hard
hearts of the people who heard jesus's teachings but did not even care to understand the meaning
their hard hearts are not open to follow god and they just go away like the seeds which were taken
away by the birds the seeds which fell on the rocky soil are like the people who are very happy
to find out about god but eventually change their minds and turn away from him like the plants whose
roots die the ones which fell on the soil with weeds and thorns are the people who have hurt the
word of god but get busy making money and having fun that they do not have the time to worship him
finally jesus explained about the seeds which fell onto the good soil these seeds represent
the people who have a good heart and the kind of heart we should all have the good heart
listens to god's word and tries to obey and follow him which helps him to grow just like the plants
which grew well on good soil that was some story deep and profound yes
and i hope all your children have a good heart to take in god's words and teachings
and that will help you to be a good person oh yes yes gumbo tubby and i have good heights
because we love listening to bible stories i am glad you love the stories okay we'll be back soon
the holy tales today i'm going to tell you a story about a wedding and it's ten bridesmaids
i love weddings one day i want to get married too
i'm sure you will freckles now let's begin with the story once there was a big wedding the wedding
was so big that there were ten bridesmaids who were all helping the bride to get ready
weddings in those times used to happen at night the ritual was that the groom would come at night
and call out for his prize the bridesmaids would then hold up their lamps so that the bride and
the groom could see each other and the groom would be so happy to see his beautiful pride
all the invited guests had lamps in their hands and they would hold up these lamps
so that everyone could walk down the streets all the way to the groom's house then all the guests
would get together dance sing and make merry to celebrate the bride and groom's matrimony
in jesus's parable the ten bridesmaids were helping the bride to get ready
there were five bridesmaids who were very wise they knew the groom often would wait for a long
time before he came to get the bride so the five wise bridesmaids brought extra oil for their lamps
so that they would have enough oil for the lamps to burn even if the groom was late to come in the
night on the other hand the other five bridesmaids didn't think of any of this and so did not bring
any extra oils for their lamps the ten bridesmaids finally got the bride ready and waited for the
groom to come they kept their lamps lit so that they were ready whenever the groom came
minutes and hours went by but the groom did not come the bride and the bridesmaids fell asleep
waiting for the groom the groom finally came and called out for his bride quite late at night
the bride and the bridesmaids woke and started fixing their lamps to make them nice and bright
as they started fixing their lamps the five foolish bridesmaids realized
that their lamps had run out of oil and the lamp had burned out they asked for some oil from the
five wise girls who were carrying extra but there wasn't enough so the five foolish bridesmaids
went out to look for some oil and missed out on going out with the bride to meet the groom
the wise bridesmaids and other invited guests arrived at the groom's house and
began with the celebrations the guards shut the door thinking that everyone had arrived
and so that no strangers could come in and disturb the wedding when the foolish
bridesmaids came they were not allowed inside the wedding the guards didn't even know who they were
so jesus wanted to teach his followers through this parable that no one of us knows exactly the
day and the time when jesus is going to come back hence we should always love and obey god
so that everyone is ready whenever he comes so are you children ready oh yes we are i am so ready
i always obey god and i love him with all my heart me too me three
but i'm wondering about those foolish bridesmaids they missed out on their friend's wedding
i would never ever miss out on your wedding tubby and gumbo
the holy tales haven't you heard the story of gideon the story of ian yes come gumbo i'll
tell you the story of ian and you will understand god always makes us strong if you believe in him
there was a young boy called ian who lived with his father ian's father was a lion tamer at the
circus they were quite poor ian was not a strong boy he was rather weak and small
one day ian's father felt very ill he lay on his bed and in a very feeble voice said
ian i do not feel very well i cannot work very much today but we need
money for food all right father i'll go and borrow some food from our neighbors
no ian today you go to the circus and do my work that way we'll get some money for food
you must be joking father how can i go and tame a lion like you i have no idea about taming lions
you learn my boy once you see the lion you'll understand how to control him ian was not
very convinced but father look at me i am so small and weak how can i tame a lion ryan is
wild and ferocious he will attack me and eat me up immediately i cannot do what you're asking
me to do father ian's father realized that ian not only thought himself to be weak and small
but also did not believe in himself ian always remember that god is with you god will help you
and guide you through every step there is no reason for you to be afraid go and tame the
lion and you will see how strong and brave you are have faith in god and believe in him and yourself
so ian left he had to listen to his father once ian was inside the cage all his fright went away
he prayed to god and started with his work the lion attacked him for the first few times
ian was not afraid at all he hit the ground with his whip a few times the lion snarled
at him then when the lion was just about to jump on him he cracked his whip one last time
his surprise the mighty lion was entirely in his control he was like a little cat in front of ian
ian walked out of the cage with not a single scratch on him
so gumbo next time when you are afraid of something always remember that god is always there
to help you to be strong and brave god will always love you and be with you come tubby fight me i'm
not afraid of you or anyone or anything i'm strong and brave because i love god and god loves me
yes tubby me too come and fight us no no i don't want to fight with my best friends
i am sorry for laughing at you gumbo to watch more videos please subscribe hidden plants and trees
on the fourth day god created the sun to shine in the day the moon and stars to come out at night
one day moses went to mount horeb with his sheep there god appeared to him
as a flame of fire in a bush since there was no room anywhere else they decided to spend the night
in a stable here mary had her baby jesus she wrapped him in a blanket and put him to sleep
