Summary

Segment 1

• Todd reviews King of Kings with Dalton Teal.

• Based on Charles Dickens' theology, the movie is ecumenical, trying to please everyone, but lacks clear Gospel proclamation.

• Big Eva supports it, but the film’s moralistic approach distorts the core message of Christianity.

Segment 2

• Review of King of Kings continues: The film oversimplifies Jesus' story with a moralistic lens.

• New York Times: "Christianity is about doing good," but this misses the true Gospel.

• Todd critiques the low view of God, reducing Jesus to a character for children’s accessibility.

Segment 3

• Ray Comfort's evangelism is as powerful as his preaching.

• A look into his militant style of preaching and how it can impact the Church.

• Ray Comfort doesn’t just preach the gospel, he calls for action.

Segment 4

• Ray Comfort's Hell's Best Kept Secret is a must-read before Easter for pastors.

• The tragedy: most will not hear the real, robust gospel this Easter.

• Romans 8: The importance of delivering the Gospel message with power.
