LOS ANGELES, March 27, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Without a doubt, Easter Sunday is the most important date on the Christian calendar, the day congregations small and large across the earth commemorate the glorious resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ — and His victory over sin and death on behalf of every believer.

And at Trinity Broadcasting Network, America's most-watched faith-and-family channel, this Easter week will be ablaze with excitement and expectation as TBN features a one-of-a-kind lineup of movies and programming specially selected to help individuals and families celebrate Christ's resurrection.

"Easter has always been a special holiday here at TBN as we join our viewers across the earth in thanking Christ for His incomparable sacrifice on our behalf," said TBN Vice President Matthew Crouch. "And it is a privilege for us to offer an exciting schedule of programming that will help make this Easter week extra special for our viewers and their families."

Among the special movies TBN will be broadcasting March 29th through Easter Sunday, April 5th, are:

King of Kings. This classic Hollywood biblical epic recounts with intense drama the life of Jesus from His miraculous birth to His agonizing death and glorious resurrection. (Click Here for broadcast times.)

The Robe. Starring Richard Burton, The Robe tells the story of Marcellus, the Roman military officer who oversees Christ's crucifixion and whose life is forever changed after he takes possession of the Savior's homespun robe. (Click Here for broadcast times.)

The Passion of the Christ. One of the most successful big-screen movies of all time, The Passion of the Christ follows the path of the suffering Savior from his agonizing intercession in the Garden of Gethsemane and savage scourging at the hands of the Romans, to the final moments of his brutal crucifixion. Throughout this intense and emotion-packed film, Jesus is portrayed in all of His humanity while flashbacks of his life reveal his true divine nature. (Click Here for broadcast times.)

Apostle Peter and the Last Supper. An unforgettable depiction of the apostle's final days, as Peter reflects poignantly on his time with Jesus and his fellow disciples — and reaches out one last time to share the gospel with his jailer. (Click Here for broadcast times.)

The Final Inquiry. A Roman official sent to Judea to dispel the "myth" of the resurrection of Christ finds himself compelled to consider the possibility that the man who claimed to be the Son of God did indeed rise from the grave. (Click Here for broadcast times.)

In addition to these inspirational movies for the whole family, TBN will also host the powerful Joseph Prince Easter Special Wednesday, April 1st, at 7 p.m. Pacific Time (9 p.m. Central, 10 p.m. Eastern), featuring a life-changing message of God's grace from Pastor Joseph Prince and passionate worship from the New Creation Worship Band.
