Movie and Video Recommendations
The following movies and videos may be useful as you seek to communicate the good news about Jesus to others. Ideally, most of our efforts will be in personal relationships with others, but these digital resources can be a good supplement. It is recommended that you preview them both so you’ll know what your friend is seeing and so that you can make sure you feel good about them.
- The Case for Christ (2017). “The true story of an investigative journalist–and avowed atheist–who applies his skills to disprove the faith of his wife…with life-altering results.” This material is appropriate for intellectual skeptics and may be helpful to them. Currently this video can be purchased here, but you may want to search around online because you can find it a few different places. There is also a book form here.
- The Visual Bible: Matthew (1993). A depiction of Jesus, word for word from the NIV of Matthew’s gospel. Currently available on YouTube here.
- The Visual Bible: The Gospel of John (2003). A depiction of Jesus, word for word from the Good News Bible. Currently available on YouTube here
- The True Story of the Kingdom of God (2021). This is a Facebook Live I did just before Christmas in 2021. It is a sample of a detailed (38 minutes) telling of the good news of God’s kingdom geared toward people who haven’t heard it. It may give you some ideas about how you can tell the good news or may in some cases be appropriate to show to someone as a part of your telling the good news to them.
