Welcome to Ephesus part two as we continue our amazing trek around this strategically important and influential city.

In this collection of films, Andrew Ollerton takes us to the Dead Sea region – the lowest point on earth at 1,300 ft below sea level. In this series, we visit the Qumran Caves where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in 1947 as well as the caves of En Gedi where David hid from Saul. We also get to see the region from the hilltop of Masada and look out over the Jordan Rift Valley where the continents of Asia, Europe and Africa meet.

Welcome to our latest trek as we visit Nazareth. Today it is a bustling city in northern Israel. Back in Jesus’ day, it was a poor, insignificant hamlet with a small population – famously derided by Nathanael, who questioned: ‘Can anything good come out of Nazareth?’ (John 1.46, ESV). Yet this was the hometown of Jesus, the backwater place where he grew up and learnt the family business...
In this trek, our guide Andrew Ollerton takes us to the location of Jesus’ teaching on the Beatitudes, and to places like Bethsaida and Chorazin where Jesus performed incredible miracles like feeding the 5,000 and healing a man from blindness.

Welcome to our new series – and a new location, as we explore Galilee. As you watch this set of films, we hope you will get a real sense of the importance and significance of this special place. It was here that Jesus began his ministry as he performed miracles, healed people and taught in the synagogue. It was here that he called his first disciples, calmed the storm and walked across the water. It was from the Galilee region that Christianity would emerge and eventually spread across the world.
