The Kingdom of Jesus came with power. It spread from Jerusalem, throughout Judea, to Samaria, and even reached the hearts of Gentile believers. The ministries of Peter and Paul take center stages, as the Gospel spreads throughout the world, from the holy city where Jesus died and rose, to the capital of the Empire, Rome itself. Journey back to the first century, to the beginning days of the church of Jesus, as a movement of twelve believers becomes a Kingdom of thousands, turning the world upside-down in the process!

"Have you considered My servant Job?" Those are the words spoken by the Lord to the Accuser. They were spoken with Divine confidence. God knew the character of Job, and knew that he would not forsake his Maker, even in the midst of unimaginable persecution. From a study of Job's inspired book, the Bible student can learn about evil and suffering, about the character of godly people, about the futility of human reasoning, and about the blessed assurance we can have in the midst of trials. God is not dead, nor does He sleep: Wrong shall fail. Right shall prevail. The Lord is in control. Trust...

In 1997, creator Joss Whedon revisited a screenplay that had previously been adapted into a relatively forgotten horror-comedy film: Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Dissatisfied with how the film turned out, Whedon developed his own version of the story as an allegory for the "horrors" of growing up. For seven years, Buffy and her friends (the Scoobies) battled demons, both of the metaphorical and literal kind and, along the way, took part in a series that defines the term "cult classic."

With each lie, and each insistence on sin, Jeremiah's consternation turns to frustration and bitter sadness, mirroring the emotions of God.

When a cruel Governor goes too far to root out troublemakers, he stirs up a rebellion led by a thrill-seeking, mischievous hero.
