    I had a cassette of this when I was younger and I loved listening to this musical over and over again through the years until it got worn out and lost it.Thank God that I’ve found this on your channel after looking for it for along time. It’s ageless to me and it stirs my faith in the Lord God the same way when I was younger. Joseph was one of my top favorites in the Bible whose life and character had inspired me till now. Another one was Elijah. And what a blessing that I’ve found the musical too on your channel. Thanks so much. You’re a blessing! God bless!❤🙏 God bless The Continental Singers!❤🙏

    Thank you for uploading this! I have been searching for this album for years. I sang with the Continental Singers on the Fall Tour of 1983, where we performed this musical through the Western and Midwestern United States, and then Singapore, Indonesia, The Phillipines, Hong Kong, The Republic of China (Taiwan), South Korea and Japan. I noticed that a couple of the reviewers made mention of attending a concert that we performed in a couple of these countries. That was an incredible experience and one of the life changing events of my life! Other than the memories and a box of Kodak Instamatic photos, I only ended up with a cassette that I had purchased along the way, which has seen better days in the last 36 years. Having been in a storage unit in Texas for an untold number of years has not helped the quality. Your upload is much better quality than what I can squeeze out of that cassette! Thank you for providing me with a touchstone to my youth.

    This a a perfect project. Perfect topic, arrangements, performance, projection, and yes, it should be played today. It should be sung today. I challenge all the BIG Churches which money and people, GET IT, SET IT UP, and DO IT!!!! My favorite saying is this: "If it was good once upon a time, it's still good today!!!" Thank you, LORD, for The Dreamer, for Joseph, and his total yieldness to You! Joseph is a great story because he is a perfect Old Testament illustration of Jesus. Here's a tidbit: Jesus was sold by Judas for 30 pieces of silver, and Joseph was sold for 20 pieces of silver. Why the difference? Because Jesus is worth way much more than any other man. Thank you, Lord, for You, Your Word, and for Bible events that illustrate Bible truths!!!!

      Ron when I was 11 a group of theatre ppl came to my school and introduced us to acting workshop. This is the soundtrack of our play "Joseph the Dreamer".
      The most significant thing is that I MET GOD during this time. Not physically but this was the start of our strong relationship. Today I pursue learning about the great commission and moving in it at 36 years old.
      I love this and I can only say, the Lord destined me to participate in that play and put this music in place for His purpose for me today. PRAISE HIS NAME!!!!

    Performed this with the Singers & Orchestra the summer of 1987 all over the U.S. and in the UK. The tour gave me a thorough overview of American Christendom (72 shows in 69 days). I still think back to all the kind, generous and just all around wonderful people I met. American Christians are fantastic people. God bless them all and all the churches we played in... :)

      @junior2404 7 років тому +1

      Hmm! I was disappointed with it actually. It focused too much on entertaining the audience, where as Dreamer did more than that, by making us hear, see and feel the lessons God wanted us to get from the Biblical narrative.

    I have a few words of encouragement in the midst of what's going on. It might sound wierd, but it is for real and I thought that it would be important to say it.
    Its long because I've tried to and any faqs!
    Hopefully this will answer some of those nagging questions -
    Why can't evil be forgiven and let off, how is the whole "Jesus dying" thing really relevant to anything?
    To you? if you still have any questions let me know x
    Do you ever struggle? Or doubt that God Loves You After what you've done? Do you wonder if He even exists for that matter? Read this:
    Every one of us have lied, stolen (even tiny things count as stealing), spoken badly to our parents and had embarrassing and detestable thoughts in our thought life. The Bible calls this "sin", the breaking of God's laws. You might think, so what? Everyone lies and thinks bad things about others! Its human!
    You're right. That's exactly what the Bible says, we're "born into sin" and that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" - Romans 3:23
    What is that "glory", morally speaking?
    Well, the opposite of human nature and desires.
    Not lying, not stealing, and having a perfect thought life is God's standard for us.
    But if its God's standard and we were made in "God's image", Why don't we meet it?
    Well, Remember Adam and Eve and when they sinned. Before sin they were perfect in thought word and DEED completely, but after the first sin occured due to Satan's tempting in the Garden, it destroyed that part of us that was morally perfect and in perfect harmony with God's morals, standard, and love. So while we kept certain things, the ability to be thinking individuals with unique personalities, the moral part (affecting how our thoughts, actions and personalities operate) was damaged. To the point where we are "opposed" to God, hence His nature and standards being the opposite of what we see as reasonable or possible. The Bible even makes it clear that "apart from God you can do nothing" - John 15:5. Without Him, it will 100% feel "opposite", unreasonable and alien to us. Only WITH Him can we gain victory in these things.
    Why doesn't God just let sin off and leave it?
    The Bible describes God as a "righteous judge", many wonder why God doesn't just let sin off and leave it, but He can't. Why? That's like a if a judge let off a
    murderer who broke the state law. Everyone would attack that judge and call Him corrupt, saying that he had not done right and should be fired for failing to punish the murderer for his evil. AND to completely love and be good as God is, means you need to, in turn, hate all forms of evil. You can't truly love good unless you hate the existence of evil.
    This means that God needed, as a righteous judge to punish sin with the ultimate penalty of death - expressing His hatred of evil - and separation from His presence forever. Hence Hell.
    "The soul that sins shall die (in Hell and suffer damnation)" - Ezekiel 18:20
    But God, who is also love, did not want to see His creation tortured and cut off from Him. He cares so much for is that He couldn't bear to see us fall into Satans hands and suffer death, even though we broke the law and deserve to bear the guilt, pain and be cut off from perfection forever through damnation.
    Because of justice, God could not leave sin and evil unpunished, BUT because of LOVE, God provided someone else to take that punishment on our behalf, satisfying both justice (by punishing the evil committed), and love (by sparing OUR lives) despite our sin.
    God sent His own SON - think about that. His *Son*, the one whom He loved infinitely (the same way He loves us).
    God allowed Him to take the pain we deserved, He took ALL of Gods wrath for every single sin you and I have committed. He was punished brutally and completely as if He was the picture of mankind's sin itself so that we do not have to be punished.
    Back in the courtroom scenario: He paid the "fine" at His own expense (His life had to be morally perfect on this Earth, then He had to be killed as a sinless sacrifice on our behalf).
    So when He returns to remove all evil from the face of the Earth, we can be spared and free because Christ has already BEEN punished on our behalf. He then rose again on the third day, conquering not only life and sin and temptation, but DEATH.
    "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live (immortally and eternally in Heaven when I return)" - John 11:25,26
    ALL we have to do is accept it by faith. Faith alone in Christ alone.
    Religion = rules to be saved
    The gospel = Christ saved us already we just have to believe it by faith. If you lack faith (as I did before), pray. He will make it strong it time. Trust Him as you would trust those close to you. He knows you even better than that. He created you and knows you inside out.
    ...WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
    What does it actually mean for us?
    It means we can be completely free from the penalty of damnation.
    Not only that but we can be restored to Him and recreated into His moral image AGAIN as long as we accept Jesus having paid the price for us and accept Him as our Lord, the one who is in the front seat of our lives. He has a plan for your life, He's created you for a purpose. Just remember that. A purpose that includes being recreated into His image, one you can only accomplish through Him and reliance on His power and by following HIS way of life.
    What does this new way of life entail?
    It entails love, true love and service and aid to others, to "love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength" and "love your neighbour as you love yourself" Matthew 22:37, 39.
    Sharing the message of Christ's death, resurrection and soon return on this Earth to give justice OR mercy depending on what the person chose.
    Sound "opposite" again?
    God knows it sounds opposite, which is why, as The Bible states, this is NOT something we can do alone. It's not in our nature.
    We need a new nature in the front seat, and the first step is to repent (turn from and reject our sin, pursuing the opposite direction and drawing close to God)
    Christ will give us an actual DESIRE to do these things. Through the Holy Spirit, sent by Him to us after the ascension. He speaks to us through thoughts of love and truth and conviction, verses, ideas, prayers and He guides us so that we gain a desire to follow God and be able to do these "opposite" things through Him.
    "With man it is impossible, but with God, NOTHING is impossible!" - Matthew 19:26
    What is the way FOR though?
    Firstly its to save you from sin - the only way to gain victory over sin and not have it as your master is through having Christ as your master and following His aid to resist the devil's temptations.
    Christ lived down here for 33 years suffering EVERY FORM of temptation that you have ever faced - "who in every respect [has] been tempted as we are, yet without sin" Hebrews 4:15.
    Therefore He is able to help us through our struggles. When the devil knows people have left his camp, he always tries harder with more temptations and evil attacks. BUT - His way is also there to guard and teach you daily in the midst of this (and despite this) sinful, selfish world.
    The path He wants you to walk is a path of committment and love - its not about rules and regulations to save us - what Christ did GAVE us salvation.
    All we need is faith.
    The rest, the "fruits of good works (the will to obey and follow Him)", are what come through true, maturing faith. It's all about faith and the relationship God wants with you just like before sin arrived.
    God preferred His own Son to be tortured And *killed* to give a chance to us (who broke His law of perfection) so that we can live as His children again. He wants us to love and trust and worship Him.
    What if I still find myself sinning after I have accepted Christ?
    That's why Christ died, For our sin. His death doesn't fix us in a snap like that, but it does protect us from the damnation that our past, present and future sins would bring without Jesus.
    It's a process - a lifelong process - of God bringing you back to Him, away from the destructive pleasures of sin (greed, selfish temptations, trampling on people to gain). This process takes a *lifetime*, as it does for all, but NEVER give up, when you fall, know Christ paid for that sin you committed already - just acknowledge your sin and ask for forgiveness - and you can get back up again because He already bore your guilt and shame.
    Regardless of the darkness you are in or the extent or frequency of the sins you have committed or will commit, regardless of how doubtful you may feel, know that Jesus UNDERSTANDS completely and He is faithful.
    "those who come to Me, I will by no means cast out" - John 6:37
    ...HOW DO I LEARN MORE?
    Don't know where to start?
    Note down the Gospel of "John", or "Luke" (if you want a more detailed account of it all).
    Remember that He will "NEVER - and that means never - leave you, NOR forsake you" - Deuteronomy 31:6
    Regardless of what goes on down here, God knows, Jesus has been down here and felt all the emotions you are feeling.
    You can go to Him with them and be assured that He loves you and is for you.
    Even in the storm, God is still there, walking on the water alongside you!
    Keep your heart open to Him and remember that if we pray for Christ to enter our lives, He will.
    "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son, that whomever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life". - John 3:16
    Thanks for reading if you did. I just felt that I should tell you regardless.
    Let me know if you have any more questions or if you need any clarification on anything.

    As wondertful as a production as this was, the graphics on the cd cover had zero to do with Jesus ! Anyone who seen the graphics would've thought it was about Moses! Where's the CROSS!
