Episode One
"I Have Called You By Name"
Two brothers struggle with their tax debts to Rome while a woman in the Red Quarter wrestles with her demons.

"Jesus Loves The Little Children"
Jesus befriends and teaches the group of children who discover His camp on the outskirts of Capernaum.
Episode Five
"The wedding gift"
Nicodemus interrogates John the Babtizer while Jesus and his students make their way to a wedding celebration in Cana. When the wine runs low, Mary asks for a favour. Simon drops everything to follow Jesus. When someone decides to give up their career and devote their life to ministry, it’s scary and impacts others, especially their family.
