The Best Christmas Pageant Ever trailer

The Herdman kids are absolutely the worst. They lie, they steal, they bully…and they’ve hijacked the town Christmas pageant. Directed by Dallas Jenkins (“The Chosen”) and based on the international bestseller by Barbara Robinson, THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER follows six siblings who sneak into church searching for snacks and walk away with the lead roles in the town pageant. Grace (Judy Greer) is directing the performance for the very first time; she and her daughter Beth (Molly Belle Wright) and husband Bob (Pete Holmes) are less than amused. But the play’s mischievous stars might unwittingly teach a community the true meaning of Christmas. Featuring Lauren Graham. Screenplay by Ryan Swanson and Platte F. Clark & Darin McDaniel.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever will be releasing in theaters on November 8th.


I remember seeing the version in the 1980s and I am super-excited to see this version directed by Dallas Jenkins! It's sure to become an annual Christmas classic!

God's Not Dead: In God We Trust

"God's Not Dead: In God We Trust" is the 5th movie in the faith-based GOD'S NOT DEAD franchise.

Synopsis: "In God We Trust" is set amid political and spiritual turmoil. When an incumbent unexpectedly dies weeks before an election, Reverend David Hill (David A.R. White) is persuaded to run for Congress. Battling against Peter Kane (Ray Wise), who aims to erase religion from policy, David's fight becomes a beacon of hope and optimism for people seeking moral leadership in a divided world.

The film stars David A. R. White, Isaiah Washington, Dean Cain, Samaire Armstrong, Ray Wise, Scott Baio, Charlene Tilton, with guest appearances by Governor Mike Huckabee and Newsboys, plus Kevin Downes, Brad Heller, and Paul Kwo. Vance Null is the director and the writer is Tommy Blaze. "God's Not Dead: In God We Trust" opens in theaters September 12th. BUY TICKETS HERE!


My Review: I enjoyed it.
Using the same premise as the previous 4 movies, this story can be ripped from current headlines. The movie is more 'good vs bad' than reality, but the makers know their core audience. Not everyone is going to like or agree with the story being told but many will find it encouraging and inspirational. "In God We Trust" takes a serious story, but tells it with touches of comedy that I find appealing. I also like seeing some of the same characters as well as the introduction of new ones. It's not a documentary on American politics, but it opens the door to a conversation that we should be having, especially among Christians. How involved should we be in choosing our leaders? Should Christians stay out of politics? It's a question we must ask ourselves. Do you believe your voice and values should be heard?

Don't miss your chance to witness the inspirational and powerful story of
"God's Not Dead: In God We Trust" in theaters! Experience the faith, hope, and triumph of this film and be moved by the message to stand up and be heard in the public square.

LIFE IN CHRIST Bible

God has a purpose for your life in this moment. You have a part to play in what He is doing in the world. But knowing why you are here starts with knowing who God says you are. The Life in Christ Bible invites you to embrace your identity and purpose as you.

Order your copy of The Life in Christ Bible today!

 

• Discover why you matter-not because of anything you do, but because you are made in the image of God.
• Explore how the gospel of Jesus Christ makes you a new person.
• Learn how who God says you are changes how you think, speak, work, and move through the world.


REVIEW: The NKJV Life in Christ Bible is an average-sized Bible that is packed with information to bring added clarity with maps, a topical index, charts and tables, "30 Days of Getting to Know God," "30 Days of Getting to Know Jesus," and the words of Jesus are written in red. I saw a description given on one site: "Discover who God says you are—and who Christ makes you to be—from the pages of Scripture." I love that! I also loved the "My Identity In..." sections. These are available throughout this Bible, but also as part of each chapter info section.

As a Pro and Con opinion, I would like more note-taking space. HOWEVER, if additional space was included, the Bible would weigh more and be more awkward for handling to read. Spiral-bound notebooks are inexpensive, so that works well. And there is room to write less-detailed notes. I do recommend the Bible and there are choices of covers available.
