Christian Films on Netflix: The Gospel of John (2014 – Rated TV-14)
In the first of four word-for-word film adaptations, The Gospel of John goes through the stories of Jesus’ life as told through the eyes of John the Apostle.

Christian Movies on Netflix: The Gospel of Matthew (2014 – Rated TV-14)
In The Gospel of Matthew, this film adaptation brings to life the former tax collector’s Biblical writings about his time spent working alongside Jesus. Matthew’s main purpose in his writings is to prove that Jesus is the Messiah. He does this by telling about how Jesus has fulfilled the scriptures from the Old Testament.
Christian Netflix Movies: The Gospel of Mark (2015 – Rated TV-14)
You can see Jesus from another disciple’s point of view in The Gospel of Mark. Mark is known for his simple and succinct accounts of Jesus’ life. He tells more about what Jesus did than what he said. How entertaining would be to see this part of the New Testament come to life on your TV screen!
