Monday Movie Nights

FACING THE GIANTS, 2006, is a real winner (and one of the first movies produced by the Kendrick Brothers, of Georgia)! In this movie, we meet Coach Grant Taylor. In his six years of high school football, Grant has never led his Shiloh Eagles to a winning season. When faced with seemingly insurmountable professional and personal crises, the idea of giving up has never come easier. It’s only after an unexpected visitor challenges him to trust in the power of faith that he discovers the strength to persevere. The results of his renewed faith change the lives of many! Even if you’re not a HS football fan, you must come and see Coach Taylor and David face the Giants in this 111 minute film. This is rated PG and suitable for any audience!

COURAGEOUS, 2011, also rated PG (a few intense fight scenes), is another highly acclaimed Kendrick Brothers film! As law-enforcement officers, Adam Mitchell, Nathan Hayes and their partners willingly stand up to the worst the world can offer. At the end of the day, they face the tough challenges of fatherhood. While they consistently give their best on the job, they quickly discover that their children could easily begin to drift further away from them. When tragedy hits home, these men are left with a newfound urgency to renew their faith and reach out to their own children. Will they be able to find a way to serve and protect those who are most dear to them? In this 129 minute film, you, too, will be moved to step up your game as a role model for what it means to be Courageous. This is a must see for parents and grandparents!

WAR ROOM! (A few years back, many of our members watched and enjoyed this movie in the Fellowship Hall! It made quite an impression!) This 2015, 2 hour film is rated PG and is another Kendrick Brothers film. With great jobs, a beautiful daughter and a dream house, the Jordan‘s seem to have it all. Appearances can be deceiving, however, as husband Tony flirts with temptation and wife Elizabeth becomes increasingly bitter under the strain of a failing marriage. Their lives take an unexpected turn for the better when Elizabeth meets her newest client Miss Clara, who encourages the couple to find happiness through learning the power of prayer.

FIREPROOF (2008) From the creators of Facing the Giants, Courageous and War Room comes another powerful tale of triumph, honor and forgiveness. Perfect for engaged couples and married couples of all ages! Caleb Holt is a heroic fire captain who values dedication and service to others above all else. But the most important partnership in his life, his marriage, is about to go up in smoke. This gripping story follows one man’s desire to transform his life and marriage through the healing power of faith and fully embrace the Fireman's code: Never Leave Your Partner Behind!

OVERCOMER (2019) This is another Kendricks brother’s hit. Life changes overnight for Coach John Harrison after he loses his basketball team and is challenged by the school’s principal, Olivia, to coach a new sport he doesn’t know or like… Cross country. As John questions his own worth, he dares to help the least likely runner take on the biggest race of the year. Filled with a powerful mix of faith, humor and heart, this inspirational story will have you on the edge of your seat.

That’s right! We’ll show a Bonus movie, in honor of Summer winding down. Join us as we watch SOUL SURFER, a 2011 movie based on actual events!
