Easter is a time of remembering and celebrating Christ's sacrificial death and resurrection. This year, Easter is on April 17th which is approaching soon. Pure Flix has a wide range selection of Easter movies that will help you and your family prepare for the Easter season.  Here are some examples of available Easter films on Pure Flix : - Risen - The Passion of the Christ - The Case for Christ - The Chosen - Penitent Thief I have watched the top three on the list above. The most recent one was Risen . It's the epic Biblical story of Christ's resurrection, as told through a non-believer's eyes. Clavius (Joseph Fiennes), a Roman tribune, is assigned by Pontius Pilate (Peter Firth) to find the missing body of Yeshua/Jesus Christ, in order to disprove the rumors of a risen Messiah and prevent an uprising in Jerusalem. What Clavius finds changes his life forever. Even after he witnesses Jesus alive with his own eyes, he still struggles with doubt and fear. Jesus understand

  When asked what the greatest commandment is, " Jesus replied, 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself .'" (Matthew 22:37-39) Sounds simple enough, right? Besides, obeying the second commandment should flow naturally from obeying the first commandment. If we love God, we will love people. In reality, we still struggle to love people like Jesus...with agape love that is unconditional, sacrificial, and selfless. We are to love everyone regardless of their racial or economic backgrounds.  Neighborliness is a call-to-action book that challenges readers to actively seek friendship with people who come from different backgrounds, cross dividing lines, and transform their communities. I like the definition of neighborliness given by the author: " Neighborliness is the embodiment of Jesus to those around us; it me

  " The Great Commission is not an option to be considered; it is a command to be obeyed ." (Hudson Taylor) Matthew 28:19-20 is not a suggestion but is Christ's command. My family is familiar with this book and Gospel for Asia (GFA). GFA serves in over 20 countries worldwide, focusing on reaching those who have never once heard the Good News of Jesus Christ -- those in the 10/40 window. Glad to see that the book continues to be offered for free . I highly recommend it. It will inspire you and convict you at the same time. Revolution in World Missions is a true story of K.P. Yohannan's journey from India to America...from being a travelling evangelist to being the founder of Gospel for Asia. It all started with his mother's prayers. Through many obstacles and challenges, doubts and discouragement, K.P. and his wife (Gisela) have witnessed God's miracles, power, presence, providence, and faithfulness. My family shares their passion for reaching the unreached w

Inspired by a real boy, Tyson's Run is a heartwarming film about an unathletic teen on the autism spectrum who tries to win the approval of his father, a successful, well-respected high school football coach. When 15-year-old homeschooled Tyson (played by Major Dodson) attends public school for the first time, he meets and befriends Aklilu (played by Barkhad Abdi), a champion marathon runner. Tyson is determined to run his first marathon and prove to his father that he can be a champion. It's a beautiful story of overcoming obstacles and challenges in order to achieve a goal. Tyson's father (played by Rory Cochrane) learns to put his family first. I enjoyed this inspiring film of courage, grit, perseverance, faith, family, and friendship.  Tyson's Run  (rated PG) releases in theaters nationwide on March 11th. You can buy tickets here . • Four-time Grammy Award-winning gospel singer Yolanda Adams recorded If You Believe , an original song, just for Tyson’s Run . GIVEAW
