NEW! Passion of the Christ, The (DVD - WIDESCREEN)
Includes FREE Bible

From Academy Award-winning director Mel Gibson comes a profound story of courage and sacrifice depicting the final twelve hours in the life of Jesus Christ. Featuring stunning cinematography and an inspired performance by Jim Caviezel, The Passion of the Christ is a triumphant and uncompromising filmmaking achievement that touches the lives of everyone who sees it!

We are approaching what could be one of the greatest opportunities to share the Gospel of Jesus our Lord that we will ever have as a church. When was the last time the whole nation was talking about the crucifixion of our Lord? What is the Gospel? "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son and whoever would believe in Him would not die but have everlasting life."

Would it change your life if you could go back and have been there the day Christ died for you? The answer is easy: everyone who has seen the movie "THE PASSION" has said that is exactly what has happened. "I am a changed man, I will never be the same again" is typical of the comments that flow from those who have experienced this portrayal of Christ's death. My response, was "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.

The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me." (Gal. 2:20). This movie is going to change the church. You will feel the love of God as you have never felt it before as you see with your own eyes, that while you were still a sinner Christ demonstrated His love and died for you. Do you know anyone else who needs to know how much God loves them?

I am convinced if you know how much you are loved, you will love others as you have first been loved by Christ. This is the power of this movie-love.

This movie is rated "R" because of the crucifixion. It is not intended for those under 12 unless their parents have already seen it and prepared their children. Even some 12-year-olds may not be mature enough to handle the concepts. Karl Bastian said it well, "It is brutal, but it is not gratuitous violence. It is bloody, but it is not gory. It is heart wrenching, but it is not disqusting. It is distressing, but not depressing. It will shock you, and jar you, and cause you to cringe, but it will also force you to deal with the reality of what Jesus voluntarily suffered for you...Mostly it will change you.

The Passion: Reflections on the suffering and
death of Jesus by Paul Thigpen

The Passion devotional is a great way to continue to mediate on the suffering and death of Jesus (click here for sample pages). In this 40-day devotional, author Paul Thigpen takes the reader on a journey through the heartrending last hours of Jesus. He uses scripture and the vivid meditations of Anne Catherine Emmerich who long ago wrote about the harsh reality of Jesus' death on the cross (Mel Gibson used Anne Catherine Emmerich's visions to help produce the movie!)
