Join us for a powerful movie – A Great Awakening

By: Lisa Van Houten

As we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, it’s important to look back and see God’s providential hand at work throughout our nation’s history.

Before there was an American Revolution, there was a spiritual revolution.  The compelling film, A Great Awakening, tells the true story of this revival which laid the groundwork for American independence and the establishment of one nation under God.

Without that spiritual awakening, America as we know it would not exist.  People learned self-governance not through laws, but through changed hearts.  As John Adams said, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

While history books focus on political figures and military battles, this movie centers on the spiritual awakening that preceded the American Revolution and explores the God-ordained friendship between evangelist George Whitefield and Benjamin Franklin.

With the colonies on the brink of collapse, God uses Rev. George Whitefield to help spark this first Great Awakening, with his thundering proclamation of salvation and liberty in Christ.  A Great Awakening traces the events leading to the American Revolution, highlighting how Whitefield’s revivals and his surprising friendship with Benjamin Franklin helped unite the colonies.

This powerful film reminds us that spiritual revival is still the only hope for America.

Invite your family and friends and join us for a free showing of A Great Awakening on Tuesday, June 30 at 1:00 PM at American Decency, 203 E. Main Street in Fremont.
