Episodes 3 & 4
The year is A.D. 64, and in Rome, the church faces fierce persecution. Driven into hiding, Christians gather wherever it is safe, and together they brave the emperor Nero's fury. At secret meetings, they learn about Jesus of Nazareth, and their faith prospers, thanks to courageous "tellers" like Ben the Baker, who with his wife, Helena, and their "family" of young orphans - Anna, Zakkai the Zealot (Better known as Zak), Justin, Marcus, and Cyrus, a young street juggler - keep the stories of Jesus alive in...
Catacombs Rescue Ben's friend, master-storyteller Ephraim, braves the threat of capture to visit Rome - and his story of the Good Samaritan helps Anna and Justin make a difficult choice. With Nero's soldiers searching everywhere, Ben, Helena, and the kids help Ephraim escape through the catacombs. Amid the excitement, this vivid stories recount Jesus' parables of the Sower and the Unforgiving Servant, lessons that bear wonderful results in the end.
Ready, Aim, Fire! Ben and the gang find themselves the object of Nero's latest neighborhood renovation - firebombing by catapult! Zak is eager to help, but his overzealous attempts to prove his leadership abilities spark disaster. This harrowing adventure is punctuated by three stories of Jesus, who heals a man's withered hand, brings sight to blind Bartimaeus, and teaches his disciples a lesson about children... one that Zak also needs to learn.
