We have put together a list of films to watch over the Easter Weekend. These films tell the true message of Easter, the Good News of our Saviour Jesus. You may want to get some friends together to share with them the truth of Jesus, or you may want to watch these as a reflection.
RISEN is an epic re-telling of Jesus’ resurrection as seen through the eyes of an unbeliever. It follows Clavius, a high-ranking Roman military tribune and his aide Lucius, who are instructed by Pontius Pilate to ensure that Jesus’ radical followers don’t steal His body and claim resurrection. When the body goes missing within days, Clavius’ mission is to find the body, dispel rumors of a risen Messiah and prevent an uprising in Jerusalem.
RISEN is a powerful must see film, that will inspire, entertain and impact through its gripping and unique telling of Jesus’ death and resurrection. This film has the potential to change lives and is one of the most powerful films depicting the resurrection of Jesus.
The Case For Christ is such an amazing evangelistic film that has the potential to change lives, especially for those who are seeking evidence of Jesus, for those with questions such as how reliable is the New Testament? Does evidence for Jesus exist outside the Bible? Is there any reason to believe the resurrection happened? This film will answer those questions and more. This is an inspirational, life changing, not to be missed film.
The movie draws on the true story of Lee and Leslie Strobel, whose marriage struggled mightily as her growing faith collided with his determined atheism. The dramatic retelling of their journey offers heart and a human touch on the in-depth research Lee Strobel conducted. He wrote The Case for Christ to share his personal story and the evidence that swayed him.

THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST
Mel Gibson’s The Passion of The Christ focuses on the last twelve hours of Jesus of Nazareth’s life. The film begins in the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus has gone to pray after sitting the Last Supper. Jesus must resist the temptations of Satan. Betrayed by Judas Iscariot, Jesus is then arrested and taken within the city walls of Jerusalem where leaders of the Pharisees confront him with accusations of blasphemy and his trial results in a condemnation to death.
As we reflect on the death of our Lord Jesus and celebrate His resurrection, we pray you have a blessed Easter and feel God’s grace, love and mercy poured out for you.
