A Stirring in Jerusalem

Monday - Friday, March 30-April 3 at 8:16am and 3:54pm

What if the events of Holy Week took place in front of today’s cameras and microphones? Imagine a recording of the throngs cheering Christ’s Jerusalem entrance. Or a reporter embedded in the mob outside Pilate’s Hall. That’s the premise of Moody Radio’s production, A Stirring in Jerusalem.

 

Secrets from the Garden

Thursday, April 2 at 8pm

For many Christians, Gethsemane is a brief rest stop on the way to the main story — the cross. But there are critical questions that demand explanation. What is the truth about Jesus’ sweating “as it were drops of blood?” When Jesus prayed, “Not my will but thine be done” exactly what did He want us to learn? The answers to these questions and more are revealed through interviews and sounds from Israel, combined with vignettes and original music score to paint a dramatic Easter.

A young boy, abandoned by his parents because of a ghastly facial birthmark, is taken in by Roman soldiers.

He learns of a man called Christ, the healer, and seeks to find this miracle worker to remove his birthmark.

Thus begins Vinegar Boy's odyssey with the Christ of the Cross.

 

The Christ Episodes 2&3 “The Wait Was Over” & “A Different Kind of God”

Long before the cross, prophecy had promised a messiah. Now, in the wilderness, John the Baptist heralds his coming—and Jesus of Nazareth begins his ministry. From temptation in the desert to the miracle at Cana, the Son of God steps into His calling, revealing a kingdom unlike any the world expected.

As Jesus heals the sick, forgives the sinner, and preaches mercy over vengeance, His message overturns every earthly notion of power. But His compassion ignites conflict among the mighty and sows doubt even among His followers. This is the rise of a Messiah defined not by strength—but by sacrifice.
