We live in some truly tumultuous times. With threats of a nuclear war, worldwide famine and supply chain breakdowns, duplicitous politicians constantly breaking their word (and even engaging in outright illegal behavior), preachy Hollywood “celebrities,” and the rise of transhumanism, people are increasingly looking to spiritual guidance for inspiration and divine fortitude. However, articulating scripture can sometimes be a challenging proposal.

However, thanks to faith-based media company Cenacle (founded by writer and producer Rick Rotondi), we are offered a condensed version of biblical salvation history that is not only well-told but also easy to articulate. This near-hour long documentary-style film focuses on Jesus as savior, shepherd, and king. It is the distillation of an eight-part series titled “Messiah,” and is filmed across multiple locales within the holy land.
