Exploring the real meaning of Easter (DVD)
Popular evangelist Rico Tice gives a short talk on this DVD that gets the heart of the Easter message - what difference does Jesus' resurrection make to my life?
In it, he explains that if we still lived life as if Jesus never rose from the dead; there would be no hope, no justice, no forgiveness and no relationship with God.
This resource can be used as a video flyer, to distribute as publicity before events. It can also be given away to people afterwards, and comes packaged with space for personalised details to be included.
There is no direct charge, but we are asking for a donation towards cost as appropriate (based on a cost of £28 per 100).
DVDs can be ordered through your regional gospel partnership co-ordinator - click here for more details - click here for more details

Prepared for Mission
"Prepared for Mission" is a set of three training DVDs for local church groups on the important themes of "Pray!", "Engage!" and "Prepare!" Each DVD contains four sessions each with a lively Bible talk of 15-20 minutes together with questions for group bible study. Each DVD is accompanied by a leaders' guide and the DVD contains downloadable talk outlines and study questions for church members. It is envisaged that churches could plan to include these DVDs into their small group programmes in a variety of ways over 2009 e.g. each DVD straight after the other, or just one DVD or selected parts of it in each "term". A church could provide a special series that combines groups or join with another church locally to watch the DVDs on a big screen before breaking into smaller groups for the bible studies. Or again, it could be more useful for all home or cell-groups to watch their own DVDs. Each church will need to consider what is most helpful for equipping its own members for mission. These DVDs are available for order from The Good Book Company.
