Hope for Sinners

My name is Dorcas. This is the name I adopted after I met Jesus. My life has been full of toil, an endless search for that which would give me peace—until now. Familiar With Fear I was born into a family that practiced a traditional African religion; we prayed to dead people through spirit mediums. I grew up making endless sacrifices in this religion. Because of these practices, I was afraid I could be attacked by evil spirits at any time. I had no peace! When I was 14 my country went through ... Read more

Why Is the Resurrection of Jesus So Important?

Without the cross and empty tomb, there is no Christian faith. Christ’s death and resurrection are that integral to Christianity. But the cross often seems to take center stage. In Corinth, Paul focused his strategy on preaching Christ crucified. And the cross, the picture of Jesus’ sacrifice, is ultimately the symbol that represents Christianity. But that shouldn’t take away from the victory of Jesus rising from the dead. In fact, it’s the resurrection—not the cross—that has its own triumphant holiday celebrated by Christians and non-Christians all over the world. So ... Read more

No Argument Left

God has His own timing and His own special way of calling each person to repentance. For some people, a large event with powerful speakers and emotional music is what works. For others, a patient conversation with a trusted friend is the key to unlocking a heart. And for others, God uses pain as His attention getter. C.S. Lewis said "God whispers to us in our pleasures, He speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world." This story from Eastern Europe ... Read more

Who Is Jesus?

There's no question that Jesus is one of history's most significant figures. His name has reverberated throughout the last 2,000 years, and His contribution has been felt worldwide. As the renowned historian and philosopher, Will Durant, has said, "The triumph of Christ was the beginning of democracy." To gauge the impact of Jesus from Nazareth, one only needs to consider the schools, hospitals and humanitarian works that have been started in His name. We should also consider the number of important universities like Harvard, Yale, Oxford, and Dartmouth that were started by ... Read more

Was Jesus God?

On a trip to Caesarea Philippi with His disciples, Jesus struck up a conversation about who people believed He was. After some discussion about how Jerusalem perceived Him, Jesus asked them the most critical question, "Who do you say that I am?" (Mark 8:27–30 (NIV). What we believe about Jesus's identity has dramatic implications for understanding the gospel. Was Jesus merely a good guy with a strong connection to God? If so, the Gospels are a tale about an influential man suffering a tragic fate—from which he somehow recovered. But ... Read more

Who Are Today’s Widows?

"My husband died from Ebola," said Jartu. Jartu lives in the African country of Sierra Leone. She depended totally on her husband to provide what she needed. Since his death, she was struggling to meet her basic daily needs. In many countries, widows are often devalued, ignored—even cast out of society. Thankfully, Jartu has a kind neighbor who invited her to watch the "JESUS" film. The film team showed the film in her village several nights in a row. In the film, Jartu saw how Jesus loves everyone, how ... Read more

What Does It Mean to Pray in Jesus’ Name?

The entire Old Testament is full of examples of prayer and encouragements to pray. In the gospels, Jesus builds upon that foundation by establishing the importance of praying in His name: "I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If in my name you ask me for anything, I will do it." (John 14:13–14, New International Version) "Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may ... Read more

Finding Freedom Through Prayer

Here at Jesus Film Project we are in a season of intense prayer focus. Prayer is how Christians communicate and hear from God. I’m often encouraged when I hear how the Lord answers prayer among his followers around the world. Here’s one story: Rest evaded Chetana* as she tossed and turned in her bed in a village in south Asia. Relenting once again, she sat up—there would be no sleeping that night. Her head heavy with exhaustion, Chetana buried her face in her palms as she cried. Nightmares from this evil spirit ... Read more

4 Potential Missteps When Sharing the Gospel

It never fails. After we share the gospel with someone, we tend to look back and wish we would have explained things better or said things differently. That's OK. Too many people keep their faith to themselves out of fear of messing up. It's better to evangelize imperfectly than to never share at all. That said, there are some common missteps that should be carefully avoided when sharing the gospel. 1. Sticking to a script There are so many great tools out there for explaining why the gospel is important. People have had ... Read more

Opposition Can Be Terrifying

"Warning!" the radio blared. "Please change your plans. Come another night. There is danger in the area." Gentry and his Jesus Film® team in the Solomon Islands sat still as they listened to the radio call. Discouraged, Gentry pondered their course of action. This was the third time they had tried to send a film team to this area, and again, the village's enemy tribe was too close for comfort. Gentry knew in his heart this village needed to hear the story of Jesus, so he gathered his team and ... Read more
