Marcus Borg:  DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF JESUS,  Parts 1 and 2- Now available on DVD!
The death and resurrection of Jesus - Good Friday and Easter - are utterly central to Christianity and have been from the first century. But how do we understand them now, in the 21st century? Marcus Borg, much read historian of Jesus and Christian origins, shares his understanding of the death and resurrection of Jesus and their meaning to the early church in this faith-stretching series. Two questioners help him explore the issues. Borg helps us make sense of the events surrounding Jesus' death and resurrection that may have puzzled us. In a straightforward and gracious way, he directs the viewer away from doctrines and toward a relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

THE EASTER PROMISE; THE WITNESS

DVD0300
THE EASTER PROMISE; THE WITNESS
This DVD features two programs in one.
1. Easter Promise: Jerem dreams of being a soldier for a king. He is thrilled to hear about the upcoming arrival of the true King Jesus. Jerem, however, is fooled by appearances and soon rejects Jesus. In a wonderful lesson about truth, appearances, and forgiveness, Jerem ultimately trusts in Jesus and witnesses the fulfillment of the greatest promise of all—the resurrection.
2. The Witness: children will hear the story of what may have happened to Barabbas after he was freed by Pontius Pilate. His journey to faith starts with his doubts about Jesus Christ’s divinity. His secure unbelief is shattered as he tries to prove to himself that Jesus Christ was a man like any other, and he finally comes to faith.
