New Beyond Today TV series premiered April 23.

You can view the 30-second ad for the first series on YouTube at https://youtu.be/m24UAmKp3-c.

The first series, presented by Darris McNeely, is on the subject of “Joseph’s Birthright.” Why did millions of people around the world watch the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II? Why in a modern world are people fascinated by the person who wears the crown in Great Britain? Could it be there’s something more than celebrity and glamour that’s connected with this ancient structure called the British Monarchy?

This five-part Beyond Today video series will show you how that monarchy relates to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God. You’ll see how God guides history, and how this story explains much in today’s world. You can watch the entire first series at here.
