Looking for 1 Corinthians 10:31
Here’s a link. I did this very informally, but did want to get back with you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vx9_IIDmueg
Looking for John 1:1
Here is a quick video talking about John 1:1
Jan, I did record a version of John 1:1 right after your request, but I didn’t write you back…so my apologies. I hope you saw it posted, but now I don’t know. I hope you did see it.
Can you please show me Colossians 3:23?
Hello Julie,
I am so sorry that I didn’t get to this. I was just looking through because I had some recent questions and saw this. I hope you got a good answer. But just in case, I just recorded this on YouTube “Colossians 3:23 American Sign Language”….always remember that you want to fully translate the verse into its purest meaning and not do a word for word transliteration.
I want to teach the kids JAmes 1 in English this year. I wanted to add ASL. Can you help?
I don’t think I could do a whole chapter….I am sorry. If you come upon some trouble spots or verses, give me a shout. Sorry for the delay in my response.
Hi I was wondering if we could learn the signs for 1 Chronicles 16:8-36? It has my husbands life verse in this passage and he’s like to memorize it and so I’d like to with him with our 6yr old daughter and it would help with the signs. Thank you:)
Sure Kellie.
Give me a day or so and let me look at it.
Will you show 1 John 1:9 and Philippians 4:4-8? Thank you! God bless
We are looking to learn Psalm 46:1
Hi there Tanya,
I am just uploading a potential translation for you to consider. Give it a few minutes.
Hi there, I’m wanting to present Colossians 3:3 to a group of women who speak Nepali. I wish to show them in sign… as it is really nice visual from my memory. But I’m not sure of the signs. Could you possibly create a video or point me to where I could find one? The women thank you, Sarah from
WISE WOMAN PROJECT
I am traveling and won’t be home until Saturday. Does that give you enough time??
Oh Joy, Thank you for replying, … I am so sorry that I didn’t see this, I ended up finding, a way to do it… I used the aus sign website . Which was pretty helpful. I have now taught it in two Nepali Churches
God bless,
I am teaching a community bible study class and we are using ASL to sign Exodus 3:14. Would you be able to help with that?
Hi Tiffany. I am happy to help. The interesting thing about ASL is there is no “to be” verbs. No “state of being” verbs (is, am, are, etc…) so I AM THAT I AM is definitely a challenge. Think about it as a concept of THIS is ME. There is no question, no specific description. It’s just ME. So…in the video, I try and go through that explanation. I hope it is helpful. Thanks for looking me up! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jyl6I1lRM8

Hi Joy! Thank you for the Bible verses! I teach Sunday School and am using ASL to teach memory verses. Could you please post a video of Isaiah 9:6? I would love to teach my students this verse during the month of November! Thank you!
I will try and do this tomorrow. “Government on his shoulders”….I looked up many different translations for that today and in essence, it means “run the world” or “care for the world”….I think. (LOL) It’s hard sometimes to really get to the meaning. Will post tomorrow.
I am trying to learn Philippians 1:27 for a leadership convention that our church is involved in. Can you help?
I did post a translation for Philippians 1:27.
Thank you! This will help greatly
Hi, I’m looking for john 14:6
I will try and do this for you tonight. I apologize for the delay.
how to sign ”Lord, send out your Spirit and renew the face of the earth.” I’m in need of this information before Pentecost Sunday, May 23rd!
I will post a video in just a few minutes. But, I want to say, I came across this beautifully interpreted song about the Holy Spirit here. It’s really lovely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3Qoitsl_ZQ
I WATCHED YHAY VIDEO, Ms. JOY! THAT’D GONNA BE ME ONE DAY IN SILENT PRAISE! Our church is VERY inclusive! We have blind parishioners, representative citizens from 19 countries (each country flag hangs on the wall of St. James! So, if you’ve never ‘traveled’, St. James will get ya there with the help of those who worship with us AND representing their country. Most times, these sweet souls are in native dress!
It is helpful to say what the verse is, to try and establish context. I am not sure if you are referring to Psalm 104:30? I will go on that.
I REALLY need your help! I was in an ASL101 class but the virus scraped school. I have been given the privilege of signing a particular response during Mass this Pentecost Sunday. (3 days from now) It’s a short response but I want to present it correctly. Apparently, there will be QUITE a few deaf folks that’s gonna be there’ and I don’t want my efforts to disrespect because of my lack of fluency. ASL classes returns next month so that I can get back on track but in the mean time, I need your help, meow! <= I can at least sign 'meow '.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…YOU GOT BACK TO ME QUICKLY! THANK YOU! . . . .btw, I can sign ”thank you”, bless my heart! The service will be streamed so if you go to St. James (Midtown) here in Kansas city, Missouri. at the 10:00am service. I am to sign this response 6 times (after every participant signs theirs in their mother tongue.) So, there’ll be Somali, Arabic, Ibo, Tagalog, South Pacific, German, Chinese, French, English, Scot -Gaelic, Spanish and ASL. Can I GET an ‘a-MAN’ for all of us who will be Pentecost Proclaimers at St. James this coming Sunday?!?!.. and all the believers say ”YAAAAAA HOO!” i’ll come back and letcha know how everything went, Ms. Joy!. . . . . . .Sharon .and, fyi? I’ll be tha chick in a red dress, denim jacket and a REALLY nice natural tan;
I’m sorry, Ms. Joy! the whole sentence is ”lord, send out Your Spirit and renew the face of the earth.”. . . . . again, Sharon Wallace apologizes!
James : 3 : 6 – And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
Psalm : 34 : 13 – Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

Please explain video ASL

Let me know soon. Gary
Is there somewhere I can print bible verses in sign language so that I can have handouts for my students to take home?
Cassie,
No. I don’t have that. I am sorry about that.
Ok. Thank you for you’re reply.
Thank you for ASL video with Bible verse. I cannot find video for Psalm 6: 1-5 Can anyone use ASL ? Thank you. I would appreciate this.
Do you have an ASL video for Isaiah 41:10?
Hi there. I can try and record that tomorrow afternoon.
Thank you so much! It is a favorite verse and I have been asked to sign it but it is God speaking and I was unsure how to sign it. I will look forward to the video.
Sorry. I think I spent too much time explaining and not enough time signing. I hope it works for you…but if I can clear anything up….I can’t believe I actually recorded a video right after a run. I must not care at all anymore what I look like. LOL.
