As millions of viewers will tune into NBC's new A.D. series, members of The Assembly in Henryetta are inviting the community to learn more about the stories they're watching and what it means for their lives today.
"We will be holding a 12-week series of sermons that will go along with the television series," said pastor William Jenkins.
"Over 100 million people watched The Bible miniseries in 2013.
The first sermon will be, "Grace Robber," he said.

Now, from the same world-renowned producing team of Roma Downey (Touched by an Angel) and Mark Burnett (The Voice, Survivor) comes A.D.," he said.
The epic television series event picks up where The Bible left off, at the resurrection of Jesus and the action-packed journey of the first followers of Christ.
Rev. Jenkins said the 12-week series premiers Easter Sunday, April 5, 2015, on NBC and runs through June 21.
"Everyone is invited to come to the 10 a.m. services, Easter Sunday and for each of the next 12 weeks," he added. "This unique series will bring the stories of the Bible to life in a new way.
