Come and See

A series of short films, Glimpse explores the story of Jesus and how His story changes ours.

Each video takes only a few minutes to watch but, like fleeting moments and memories, they evoke something in us, changing us, and causing us to want to look again. They explore topics such as grief, anxiety, relationships, value, purpose, and faith.

Jesus was no stranger to these subjects. Walk with us as we take a look into current day situations, get a glimpse into God’s perspective and offer a response. The films are free for everyone to watch, use and share.

A glimpse is a powerful thing.

Come and see.
