Have you ever heard Mark's story of Jesus--Mark's Good News--in one sitting? We usually hear Mark's story in bits and pieces: Jesus healing a leper, telling a parable, being tried by Pilate, crying out from the cross. Mark's retelling of the Jesus narrative is a story.
Using different backgrounds--wastelands and grain fields, pasture lands and vineyards, lakes and streams, churches and government buildings--Ezell tells Mark's story of Jesus from his baptism in the River Jordan to his crucifixion and resurrection in Jerusalem. The use of these diverse settings, plus an original music score, will change forever your "hearing" of Mark's Good News.
The program is 60 minutes long--perfect for use in churches, small groups, and in homes.
We infrequently hear it in its entirety, the way it was intended to be told. In the first century, the "Jesus story" was recited orally, not in writing, and most often from start to finish. In "The Jesus Story", Roger Ezell, an ordained pastor and gifted actor, presents an abbreviated version of the good news of Jesus "according to Mark" from the New Revised Standard Version.
