Thank you for your comment but I think there is a misunderstanding about what we do. We don’t promote “magic”. In fact we often tell groups that these are called "magic" tricks but there is no magic to them. These are illustrations and visual teaching tools. The needle through the balloon is simple science. We use illustrations like these as a way of engaging people with God’s truth and it is highly effective in engaging people who might not normally walk through the doors of a church. In fact we’ve seen over 50 people receive Christ in the past two weeks. We do not compromise or water down the Gospel and visuals help us to illustrate truths such as how sin separates us from God, or that only Jesus can forgive our sins, or like the needle through the balloon, that only Jesus can take the “sting” out of death. I hope you understand our heart and our purpose concerning what we do and do not promote. May the Lord bless you as only He can.

Let me clarify: There is a punishment for sin ("The wages of sin is death" Roman 6:23) and Jesus willingly became our substitute. Justice was pronounced against Him (who is perfect) so that forgiveness could be given to us (who are not perfect). He paid the price for our sin by His death on the cross. By His death and resurrection, He can give forgiveness and a new life in Him. This is true and is what changed my life. Hope you have a great day. "But God demonstrated his own love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). .

@@330ministries can anyone take seriously the idea of such a psychorigid, intolerant, safistic deity that cannot forgive freely repentant people unless he spills blood, even from a perfectly innocent victim, regardless his masochistic acceptance? This sounds just like gory porno-religion.

We recommend using Qualitex brand 260 balloons. 260 (meaning 2" wide and 60" long) balloons are the standard size for balloon creations. There are also 160 and 360 balloons that come in handy depending on what you're making but definitely the 260 balloons for this one. Hope that helps.

That's AWESOME! We're proud of you. Keep following Jesus!

Thank you for sharing with us. I'm glad the video helped and I'll be praying for the kids who have recently received Christ. May the Lord bless your ministry.

@Kolby King you're welcome. I just did the illustration to them. They had fun learning this lesson. Thank you so much for encouraging me to get creative in teaching His Word. God bless the works of your hands!

That's Not the gospel.

@@endtimesareuponus8930 that is it, tell me otherwiese, if you make that claim 1.cor 15,1-4 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

@@MG-hg1sq That is in a nutshell what Jesus did. If you just believe it intellectually, you are NO WISER than the Demons !!

@@MG-hg1sq You conveniently IGNORED ALL the words of the ALMIGHTY GOD Jesus Christ. Why?

@@MG-hg1sq You Conveniently LEFT out Verse 10 in Ephesians chapter 2. Why?

It's called Flash Paper and you can learn more about it at threethirtyministries.com/product/flash-paper/. It comes with 3 sheets which is enough to do this illustration 3 or 4 times.

I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Keep following Jesus!

Hello! It’s great to hear from you. I’m so glad you were at camp. I had a great time with you all and miss you a ton. I’m praying for you. Keep following Jesus!

Thank you! It’s great to hear from you. And, yes, absolutely we will keep speaking the truth. Jesus changed our lives and there’s nothing better in life than knowing and following Him. Keep following Jesus!

He certainly can be but we’re so close he says he feels empty when I’m not there. Almost like I have a hand in everything he does. Thanks for watching. Also, I was curious about your KZbin name-what’s the story behind it?
