Two men encounter Jesus on the road to Emmaus.  One man gives the biblical account of the tragic event that occurred during the Passover Feast, while the other man gives a modern day account of the tragedy that is occurring in his life today.

During the season of Advent, Christians celebrate the coming of the Christ. This is not just a time to commemorate Jesus’ first coming, but a time of preparation for His second coming.

This is a powerful presentation to promote the true spirit of the Advent season in our heart and its relevance to our life.

Sin, Death, and the Grave think they have finally defeated Jesus as he is being crucified. However, they are surprised when he rises on the third day.

Love relationships, particularly marriage relationships, are accentuated on Valentines Day.
