House Church Talk - Biola Project

[Janet Murphy]

Oh, I think "Jesus of Nazareth" captured all the elements necessary for a
good movie about our Jesus.

The actor that played Jesus got saved during the movie.  Earnest Borgnine,
who played the centurion broke down many times on the set, along with other
actors.

I have always felt God's annointing was on that movie
