00:00This batch looks even better than the last one, Joy.
00:20That's great, Ellie. Set them over there to cool.
00:22Only three dozen more peanut butter chocolate chip,
00:25and then it's on to the caramel delights, everyone.
00:27Giz, where are you?
00:29I need a hand with the CPC-12 auto-frosting unit.
00:32Gizmo!
00:33Oh, Christopher, I have no time for you.
00:37My dessert crepe à terre is ready for the crepe pan.
00:41Joy, joy, joy, I have arrived.
00:45Have no tears.
00:46My gizmo crepe chantilly glacée will save the game.
00:50Uh, Gizmo, what are you doing?
00:52Oh, Joy, it is so exciting.
00:54I have downloaded baking recipes from around the world.
00:56I am ready to go to work for you.
00:58Ze pole, biscotti, canole.
01:01But no, holy canole.
01:02I'm going to make it so good for you, Joy.
01:05Belle dolce.
01:06Come on, Giz.
01:07I need a hand with the frosting machine.
01:09Besides, Giz, all the desserts for the bake sale are almost done.
01:12Joy, I have no idea you have such baking skills.
01:16Thanks.
01:16My grandma taught me.
01:18Oh, but that doesn't buy the frosting machine, Bettina.
01:20Chris and Gizmo should have it running in no time.
01:22Hi, Pastor Aaron.
01:25Hi, everyone.
01:26Hola, Pastor Aaron.
01:26Hey there.
01:27We've got lots of amazing desserts to sell for our missions trip fundraiser.
01:30Honestly, Joy, I don't know what we'd do without you.
01:33Since you joined the youth group, I don't think you've missed a single event.
01:35That's right, Joy.
01:36You've helped me with all the food drives.
01:39You've organized outreach to the elderly.
01:41And not to mention all the volunteering you do at school, too.
01:44Don't forget the Saturday tutoring program begins on the 28th, Joy.
01:47Oh, she is so magnifique.
01:52The organizing's easy.
01:54I really just enjoy hanging out with you guys.
01:57Well, we're so glad you're a member of the church.
01:59Keep up the great work.
02:00Thanks, everybody.
02:01Bye.
02:02All right, Chris.
02:04What do you think?
02:05Are we ready to...
02:06What's happening?
02:10Get home!
02:12I found the problem.
02:14The buttercream swirl wasn't a bad look on Joy.
02:18Better not let her hear you say that.
02:20Hear you say what?
02:21Nothing.
02:22Just, uh, I, uh, uh...
02:24Joy, I want you to know my culinary skills are good enough for the finest of restaurants.
02:28And I'd appreciate the opportunity to...
02:31Wonder who that could be.
02:34Clean-ups looking good.
02:35Thanks, guys.
02:36She did not hear a word I said.
02:38Yeah, you were invisible to her.
02:40Oh.
02:42Hi, Joy.
02:43Jolie, what are you?
02:44Oh, no.
02:46We were gonna watch movies tonight, weren't we?
02:49You forgot?
02:51No, I, uh, I...
02:53Yeah, Jolie, I'm so sorry.
02:56We're having a missions fundraiser and...
02:59Well, why don't you come help?
03:01You can meet the group.
03:02It's okay, Joy.
03:03They're your...
03:04Your church friends, right?
03:07It's not like that.
03:08I've just been so busy with all these commitments I've taken on and...
03:11And you no longer have time for your old non-church friends.
03:16I know it might look like that, but if you'd just come with me one weekend...
03:20Joy, each time it's the same answer.
03:24You know I spend most of my weekends with my dad, and he lives out of town.
03:28So, anyway, I, uh, sent you an invitation to my birthday party.
03:34Oh, I, uh, I was so busy I haven't checked messages all day.
03:37This will be so much fun!
03:41Wait, your birthday is on the 28th.
03:45Is that when the party is?
03:47Yes?
03:48I, uh, I can't come on the 28th.
03:52That's when I volunteered to start the weekend tutoring program at the school.
03:55Twenty kids have already signed up for help.
03:59They're relying on me.
04:01I'm, I'm so sorry.
04:02I get it.
04:04Well, Jolie, I'll, you know, see you around school sometime, Joy.
04:13You okay?
04:14I forgot that I invited Jolie over to watch movies.
04:18Just reschedule, right?
04:20I guess.
04:21It's only, I've been rescheduling on her a lot lately.
04:25And her birthday party is on the same day we're starting the weekend tutoring program at school.
04:31So, I told her I can't go.
04:34It really upset her.
04:35Everybody would understand if you took a little break from all your volunteering.
04:40I could cover for you.
04:42You'd do that?
04:43Oh, thanks.
04:48Why does it seem like you don't really want to go to Jolie's birthday party?
04:52You do want to go, don't you?
04:54Well, yes, of course.
04:56I mean, I think so.
04:59It's just, well, I don't know what I mean.
05:05Joy?
05:06You know, ever since I...
05:09Chris, since we became Christians, the more we started going to church and hanging out with all our new friends there,
05:17the more I feel like maybe I don't fit in with my old friends anymore.
05:23You do not know how to be the new you around the old them?
05:28Exactly.
05:29And what if we realize we don't have anything in common anymore?
05:33And is it wrong for me to want to hang out with Jolie even though she's not a Christian?
05:37And what will they say?
05:40Super Book!
05:41No, wait, Super Book!
05:47I have to prove to Jolie.
05:48I have a good enough show to...
05:50I am taking you to learn what true discipleship means.
05:59Chris!
06:01Gizmo!
06:01I'm going to do it!
06:04What's happening?
06:15Great.
06:16No Chris, no Gizmo.
06:18But...
06:20The Sea of Galilee.
06:23And if my memory serves me correctly, the town of Capernaum is just a bit of a walk that way.
06:28Joy is gone.
06:47Giz, what's happening?
06:48I do not know.
06:49But it does appear Jesus and his followers are enjoying some first century five-star dining.
06:54When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast...
06:57Oh, Chris, Jesus is giving advice on entertaining.
07:00I will take notes.
07:01There might be some cooking and catering tips that will impress joy.
07:04Giz, Jesus is not giving catering tips.
07:07It's probably a parable about a wedding feast.
07:10But his ideas on cooking, baking, and meal preparation would be very interesting.
07:14I could note and then self-publish cooking with the Master.
07:17Not happening.
07:19Seafood selections from Galilee by Peter and John?
07:22Jesus is not going to give cooking tips, Gizmo.
07:25These are definitely going to be cooking tips.
07:29Do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors,
07:34lest they also invite you back and you be repaid.
07:38But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind,
07:43and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you,
07:47for you shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just.
07:50What a blessing it will be to attend a banquet in the kingdom of God.
07:55A man prepared a great feast and sent out many invitations.
07:59When the banquet was ready, he sent his servant to tell the guests,
08:03come, the banquet is ready.
08:05But they all began making excuses.
08:07Oh, right, Capernaum, exactly where I remembered it was.
08:16Pumicide!
08:18Give us away!
08:19Now!
08:20Oh!
08:21Oh!
08:22Hey, wait!
08:24You dropped some bags!
08:28Oh, huh.
08:29This is thievery!
08:37How can you charge that much?
08:39These are the taxes you must pay to bring your goods through this port.
08:43I'm happy to recount, but I cannot promise the total will not go up.
08:48Take the money, you thief!
08:51All of you!
08:52Your receipt.
08:53Wait!
08:59Hold on!
09:00You!
09:00Come back!
09:01You must show your goods and pay your tax!
09:05Your...
09:06bags!
09:08You will pay the tax on your goods like everyone else.
09:11No!
09:12Wait!
09:12This isn't mine!
09:15That's what I'm trying to tell you.
09:17It fell off someone's cart.
09:18I was just trying to return it.
09:22Wait.
09:23Do I know you?
09:24If you travel this road often, then you have paid me taxes before.
09:28Are you...
09:29Matthew?
09:30My name is Levi.
09:32Now, about the contents of your bags.
09:34Aren't you a disciple of Jesus?
09:37What are you doing here?
09:38I'm a tax collector.
09:40I require levies on all goods traveling either direction on this road.
09:44Now, shall we check your bags?
09:46Do whatever!
09:49I have no money and those aren't my bags!
09:54Are you just going to sit there?
10:00Why?
10:00Are you going to tax me for using your shade?
10:04No.
10:05But it is three shekels for sitting on my rock.
10:09I'm joking!
10:11It's four.
10:12I'm joking!
10:14You're mean.
10:16I'm just going to wait until some friends of mine show up, and then I'll be on my way.
10:20All right.
10:21Next, please.
10:23You steal!
10:24Adding more than you are due!
10:26You thief!
10:29Take it all!
10:30Food from the mouths of my children!
10:33I pay Rome what is Rome's!
10:35And you steal the rest!
10:36How do you even sleep robbing from your own people!
10:43You unclean thief!
10:51Does everybody who comes through here yell at you?
10:54Nobody likes to pay taxes.
10:57But I am not a thief.
10:58The money I take, I am allowed.
11:00Super book!
11:05Super book!
11:14I, uh...
11:15I think my friends are here.
11:17What about your bags?
11:19They're not my bags, Matthew!
11:22Deal with it?
11:23I'll hold them until that card comes back.
11:29And if they don't, these are mine.
11:33Chris, super book has taken us backwards in time.
11:36Just a short while, to the city of Capernaum.
11:38Oh, joy!
11:39Are we glad to see you!
11:41Super book sent us to Galilee with Jesus!
11:43Meanwhile, I've been here with Matthew, but you're waiting for Levi right now.
11:46Let me tell it to you.
11:47Hold on, Giz.
11:48Matthew's a tax collector, and he hasn't even met Jesus yet.
11:51Don't worry, Gizmo!
11:53Fine, shut me down.
11:55I'll just go over here in the corner like your friend, Jody.
11:58Hmph!
12:03Giz.
12:04No, he's right.
12:06What did you want to tell me, Giz?
12:08I'm listening.
12:09Oh, Jesus told the story...
12:11Parable.
12:12...about a spectacular wedding feast that I could have catered.
12:15You could not have catered a parable.
12:17Let him tell it.
12:19So, Jesus set the scene.
12:20A man prepared a great feast and sent out many invitations.
12:25When the banquet was ready, he sent his servant to tell the guests...
12:28Come!
12:29The banquet is ready!
12:30But they all began making excuses.
12:33One said,
12:34I have just bought a field and must inspect it.
12:37Please excuse me.
12:38But the banquet features Gizmo's world-famous butterfly lamb shanks, seared in coconut dust and drizzled with...
12:45Hold it, hold it, hold it!
12:46Hold it, hold it!
12:47Gizmo, you're not in the parable of the great feast.
12:50That is not how Jesus told it.
12:52It's just not.
12:53What he said was people made excuses, like the man who bought five pairs of oxen and wanted to try them out.
12:59Right.
12:59And another said, I just got married so I can't come.
13:02So the servant returned and told his master what they had said.
13:05His master was furious and said,
13:07Go quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and...
13:11Invite the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.
13:16After the servant had done this, he reported,
13:19There is still room for more.
13:21So his master said,
13:22Go out into the country lanes and behind the hedges and urge anyone you find to come so that the house will be full.
13:30For none of those I first invited will get even the smallest taste of my banquet.
13:36So, the moral is to let Chef Gizmo cook for you if you want a successful event, Joy.
13:42That is not the lesson, Gizmo.
13:45Well, Superbook whisked us out of there before we could even ask Jesus.
13:49So, I believe it has something to do with food because Jesus was at a banquet when he told the parable, which was about another banquet.
13:57Am I the only one seeing a pattern here?
13:58What was the reason Jesus told that parable then?
14:02He has healed and done great miracles!
14:05Jesus has come to Capernaum!
14:08Come on!
14:08Woo-hoo-hoo!
14:28Who is now?
14:34He sounds next to me
14:37Amazing!
14:38Follow me and be my disciple.
15:08Guys, Levi was a tax collector taking money from people when they paid their taxes, but Jesus came and called him.
15:38Healthy people don't need a doctor, but sick people do.
15:50Go and learn what the scriptures mean when they say,
15:53Instead of offering sacrifices to me, I want you to be merciful to others.
15:58I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.
16:12I am telling you guys, there is no way around it. Superbook definitely has us on a tour of first century banquets.
16:19Look, it's Superbook.
16:20Where is Superbook taking us now?
16:26Come back! Sinner!
16:28You will be punished!
16:31Maybe this way! Sinner!
16:38Where are we now, Giz?
16:40Is that her?
16:42Something's moving. Sinner!
16:44No! Gizmo! Get us out of here!
16:55Point! Boomerang belly!
17:04Guys! In here!
17:05According to my geo-sensors, Superbook has brought us to a wealthy home near Jerusalem, and the time is...
17:16Guys, look! There's Jesus!
17:19At another banquet? Does he ever eat at home?
17:22What is that lady doing?
17:40She's washing Jesus' feet.
17:42With her hair?
17:44Oh, my God!
17:46Oh, my God!
17:47Oh, my God!
17:48Oh, my God!
17:50Oh, my God!
17:52If this man were a prophet, he would know what kind of woman is touching him.
17:57She is a sinner.
18:05Simon, I have something to say to you.
18:08Go ahead, teacher.
18:11A man loaned money to two people, 500 pieces of silver to one, and 50 pieces to the other.
18:18But neither of them could repay him, so he kindly forgave them both, canceling their debts.
18:25Who do you suppose loved him more after that?
18:28I suppose it would be the one who had owed more, and didn't have to pay it back.
18:32That's right.
18:34Look at this woman kneeling here.
18:37When I entered your home, you didn't offer me water to wash the dust from my feet, but she has washed them with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.
18:47You didn't greet me with a kiss, but from the time I first came in, she has not stopped kissing my feet.
18:55You neglected the courtesy of olive oil to anoint my head, but she has anointed my feet with rare perfume.
19:02So I tell you that all her sins are forgiven, and that is why she has shown great love.
19:10But anyone who has been forgiven for only a little will show only a little love.
19:17Your sins are forgiven.
19:20Who is this who even forgives sins?
19:33Your faith has saved you.
19:36Go in peace.
19:37It is always so good to get back safely after a Superbook trip.
19:55Discipleship.
19:56What?
20:00Superbook said, I am taking you to learn what true discipleship means.
20:07I think true discipleship is thinking, feeling, and acting just like Jesus.
20:17Yeah?
20:18Guys, the parable, Matthew, the woman who washed Jesus' feet.
20:24We saw how Jesus reached out to everyone.
20:28Tax collectors, sinners, the rich and the poor.
20:32He would have made time for our church friends.
20:35And for Jolie.
20:38Joy!
20:38We're ready to start the caramel delights!
20:40Be right there!
20:45Giz, I'm sorry for ignoring you.
20:48I want you to help me finish the baking.
20:51Really?
20:53You will not be disappointed!
20:55But there's something I need you to help me with first.
20:58Jolie!
21:07Wait!
21:09Joy?
21:09Joy?
21:09Joy?
21:09Joy?
21:09Joy?
21:10Joy?
21:10Joy?
21:10Joy?
21:11Joy?
21:11Joy?
21:11Joy?
21:12Joy?
21:12Joy?
21:12Joy?
21:13I haven't been a good friend.
21:14I really do miss hanging out with you and I really do miss hanging out with you and I don't know what I was thinking.
21:20Of course I'll come to your party on one condition.
21:24On one condition.
21:26Okay, what condition?
21:28You let me make your birthday cake.
21:29I was hoping you would.
21:30And I happen to have the greatest French chef in the world assisting me.
21:32Aha!
21:33Chef Gizmo at your service.
21:34Jolie!
21:35That is so French.
21:36I know you love chocolate.
21:37So we could go with the chocolate lava mousse royale.
21:38That sounds delicious.
21:39Or, if you are feeling adventurous, perhaps raspberry lemon berengue?
21:41I have won many awards and...
