Friends & Heroes Ep 27-28 DVD

Description

Episode 27 - Gladiator School Macky and Portia finally arrive in Rome, but under very different conditions: Portia is welcomed as the niece of Rome's famous General Tiberius, while Macky has arrived in chains... and that's just the beginning of his problems. He has been sold to a school for gladiators! Macky tells the Bible story of Amos speaking out, and recalls the preaching of John the Baptist, to remind us of brave men who spoke out against corruption. Episode 28 - School's Out When Macky refuses to kill another trainee during practice, the gladiator school manager decides to send him to the arena the next day. Because he won't kill, he will almost certainly be killed. Portia goes to Senator Antonius, who has spoken out on behalf of the Friends of Jesus in the Senate. But Antonius seems unwilling to help. We hear the Bible story of King David and Three Soldiers, and Antonius tells Portia about Jesus speaking in Nazareth.
