Throughout the year there are always new movies
releasing and specific times for movies to release….like your action-packed big
ticket films release in May and December. Well-March this year seems to be
overwhelmed with amazing movies! Check out the three newest films worth seeing
releasing this month!
I Can Only Imagine- March 16, 2018
This movie is so incredibly special, if you
don’t see it-you will be missing out. As I’ve said before, those of us who were
able to go to Nashville last fall got to see an early cut of the film. There
were definitely some editing issues that had yet to be fixed, but the movie was
inspiring. For those who know me well, know that I am also a musician and
teacher. That alone should have driven me to want to see this movie, unfortunately-I
hate this song-well used to hate this song. It was so overplayed on the radio
at the time of its release, the meaning of the song became lost on me. To be
honest-I wasn’t excited to see the preview of the film or sit in the chairs for
so long that night in September----but I couldn’t get enough!!! This movie will
make you laugh, cry,and hold your breathin awe. As a musician, I have long believed that a huge part of a piece
is at its heart-why, when, and how it was written. As a middle schooler, I
never knew the story. This movie has changed my perception of this song and
made a huge impact on me, and I hope it does the same for you.
Paul, Apostle of Christ- March 23, 2018
With this movie comes the telling of two
stories, both well known in the new testament. Luke ventures to find Paul
locked up in jail, awaiting death. Luke decides to write down Paul’s story from
the beginning, writing of “The Way”, and what will become the church. Paul is
locked in a cell, left to dwell on his life choices, past sins, battling
depression and darkness and searching for light and hope as he faces death.
While I have not seen or heard much of the film until recently, the story of
two courageous men shedding light in dark times and Roman controlled areas is
sure to be inspirational to all who go see this film.
God’s Not Dead: A Light in Darkness- March 30, 2018
This movie is the third movie in the God’s Not
Dead series. If you have not seen the first two-no worries, each of these films
are standalone films and don’t have to be watched in order or at all to see the
third film. If you have seen either of the first two films, several characters
may be familiar to you (especially if you’ve seen the first film as one
character returns!). This series of films have made a huge impact across the
nation, dealing with a fictionalized story that are founded on real cases. In
the first film, a student goes against a professor to prove that God is Not
Dead. His actions affect many other students on campus-showing how one person
can affect many. In the second film, we go to the public school
system-demonstrating how teachers have been persecuted within the schools for
simply being a believer. In this film, Pastor David and his church on campus is
under attack. As good as the first two films were, I can only imagine how
impactful this film will be. Don’t miss out on seeing it in theaters at the end
of March.
These are the three big movies coming out in
March! There are so many great movies out there it is difficult to see them
all-especially to pay to see them all in theaters. My advice-watch the
trailers, visit the websites, determine which movie stands out to you that you
feel God is leading you to see-don’t take my word for it-you decide. I’d hate
to hear-”well I really wanted to see that, but the blog talked this one up so much
I went to it and it just wasn’t the right film for me”-please don’t do that.
Think about which film(s) is right for you, which one interests you the most,
the film God wants to speak to you through. All these films are and will be
amazing! Now it’s up to you.
PS-We are offering a special promo until the end of April-10% off with your movie ticket stub from any of these three movies!

It's a FICTION Book.

Read all the way to the bottom for an Amazing Christmas Video!!!
Christmas Time: what a wonderful joyous time of year!.....Also maybe one of
the most stressful times of year….presents to buy, family gatherings to plan
and attend, decorations to put up, yada, yada, yada. Keeping up with all the
holiday extravagance seems overwhelming at times. I’ll be honest-being a child
at Christmas time is so much more fun than being an adult. Shopping for
presents seemed to be more fun, so did going to the family gatherings. No
arguing or debating-just joy and celebrations.
As adults, while we need to share the real reason for the
season with children, maybe the reason we share is so that in amongst all the
planning and decorating and shopping, we remember the real reason for the
season too. Here is short explanation of our Christmas Traditions:
Christmas Tree: The first Christmas Tree was decorated in
the year 1500 by Martin Luther. While there is a longer history to decorating
trees, Luther decorated the first tree in honor of Christ’s Birth. Over the
next few hundred years, decorating a tree become popular within the Germanic
countries, and later spread to the rest of the world. As the tree is cut down
and erected again, the tree has come to symbolize the Christ’s resurrection.
(Don’t worry-if you don’t have a live tree in your home-the symbolization is
still present).
Candy Cane: The candy cane is purposefully shaped like a
shepherds staff to symbolize Jesus coming as a shepherd of people. The red
signifies Christ’s suffering while the white signifies Christ’s purity. This
year, I for one want to make CandyCane’s out of sugar cookie dough, using food
coloring.
Gifts: The idea of giving gifts came from the Three Wise
Men. The Three Wise Men brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to honor
the Messiah, Jesus. Our greatest gift of course is Jesus Christ-he is the
reason we celebrate and the reason we give gifts to one another.
As you prepare for the coming of Christmas, including buying
gifts, remember the reason for the season. Remember the purpose of the gifts
you buy and buy gifts that those you care for that they both desire and need (And don't forget we are always here and willing to help you!)
Remember to spend time with friends and family, to cherish those you are with
and care most about. Cherish each moment you have and hold tight to the
promises of the Advent season and the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
