Why the Nativity?
In our culture today, it is common for people to forget the true meaning of Christmas—and its significance. The occasion has become less spiritual and more materialistic over the years, and many might not even fully know the original story of Christmas. But this celebration is much bigger than a secularized holiday. Christmas is about God’s plan of salvation, which He set in motion before time began.
In Why the Nativity?, Dr. David Jeremiah looks in detail at the people and events that surround the Christmas story and why each of them was chosen for their specific purpose. This year, celebrate this special season by revisiting the story of the first Christmas and join in worshiping Him for His great gift to us. Set a reminder and join us on Thursday, December 22 at 8 pm ET/ 7 pm CT and again Saturday, December 24 at 6 pm ET/ 5 pm CT for Why the Nativity?
The Census and The Star
Explore the mysterious circumstances of Christ's birth in this captivating look at the first Christmas. Joseph and Mary traveled to Bethlehem by order of the Emperor, Augustus Caesar. This census has long confounded historians seeking to reconcile the Bible with recorded history. The evidence to address that is both intriguing and insightful.
The mysteries continue when a star appears to announce the birth of the King of the Jews. What was the star? What did it look like? When did it appear? Foreign Magi, or Wise Men, saw the star and followed it to Jerusalem and Bethlehem seeking Jesus. These little-understood figures were among the first to discover Jesus in what was surely a life-changing, as well as history-making, event. Explore the star as the Magi did, following it to better understand Christmas. Trace what the Magi did as they gazed into the night sky those thousands of years ago. Find answers to these questions and more... What really happened on the first Christmas?
Tune in on Thursday, December 22 at 10 pm ET/ 9 pm CT and again on Saturday, December 24 at 5 pm ET/ 4 pm CT for The Census and The Star.

No Ordinary Shepherd
As the sun beams brightly on the hills surrounding Palestine, a young shepherd boy thoughtfully considers the significance of the day. The boy, crippled in a terrible accident, has always treasured his shepherd father's tale of that starlit night so many years before - a night filled with the wonder of angelic heralds and a tiny Bethlehem stable sheltering the chosen Messiah.

Join us starting Thursday, November 3 at 8 pm ET/ 7 pm CT, as Patterns of Evidence joins our lineup!
Is the Bible the Word of God or is it just the invention of men? Investigative filmmaker, Timothy Mahoney, had similar questions despite being raised as a Christian. In this Bible Series he sets off to seek answers by traveling to the locations where biblical events were said to have happened. Along the way, he interviews archaeologists and scholars from all over the world who argue all sides of the debate about the credibility of the Bible. The biblical stories are retold, accompanied by dramatic re-enactments and special effects. The series presents powerful evidence and arguments that then lets the viewer draw their own conclusions. This refreshingly balanced approach has proven to be universally accepted, intellectually challenging, and effective in the building of faith and the affirmation of the Bible.
