Davie County High School Movie Night

Davie County High School Movie Night A moving and inspirational film based on the true story of how love and unity overcame hate and division in early 1970's Birmingham, Alabama.

Tony Nathan lands in a powder keg of anger and violence when he joins fellow African-American students at Woodlawn High School after its government-mandated desegregation in 1973. The Woodlawn football team is a microcosm of the problems at the school and in the city, which erupts in cross burnings and riots, and Coach Tandy Gerelds is at a loss to solve these unprecedented challenges with his dis

ciplinarian ways. It's only when Hank, an outsider who has been radically affected by the message of hope and love he experienced at a Christian revival meeting, convinces Coach Gerelds to let him speak to the team that something truly remarkable begins to happen. More than 40 players, nearly the entire team, black and white, begin following Jesus, and the change is so profound in them it affects their coach, their school, and their community in ways no one could have imagined.

So here we are — fully into what I like to call the Thanksgiving System. About thirty years ago, I started something small that’s turned into one of my favorite traditions: a Thanksgiving Playlist. At the time, my only goal was to make sure Christmas music didn’t completely take over November. It felt like Thanksgiving deserved its own soundtrack — something that carried the mood of gratitude and calm before the rush of December....

Finding Life in What Fades A leaf falls to the ground. Maybe it falls slowly.Maybe the wind takes it a bit quicker—maybe even a bit farther.Maybe it doesn’t hit the ground right away but hangs out for a moment—caught on a branch, or resting on another leaf. But eventually, it makes its way to the place it was destined for—the ground—to decay and disappear....

(Acts 1:6–11) When Jesus was about to ascend into heaven, His disciples still didn’t quite get it. They asked, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” They were thinking about power, politics, and national restoration — in other words, activism.But Jesus gently redirected them. “It’s not for you to know the times or the dates the Father has set by His own authority....

The Morning of Day One: When the World Changed Forever The resurrection of Jesus isn’t just a story—it’s the pivot around which history turns. On that first morning, before the sun fully rose, a group of women, including Mary Magdalene, approached the tomb to honor Jesus’ body with the final burial customs (Matt 28:1; Mk 16:1; Jn 20:1). But what they found stunned them: the tomb was open....

I’ve been in a lively discussion with other pastors on social media lately about Halloween — should we celebrate it, ignore it, or avoid it altogether? The answer is both NO … and YES. Let me explain. It’s true that Halloween has deep spiritual roots that tie back to darkness. Some of its traditions stem from the night before All Saints’ Day…...
