The new movie COURAGEOUS has just been released by Sherwood Baptist Church, Albany, Georgia and is showing in your local theater nationwide. Sherwood are the creators of the powerful FIREPROOF and FACING THE GIANTS movies. This new production revolves around four county deputies, who are also Fathers in different seasons and places with their children. It is such a powerful drama that it will take you on a roller-coaster of emotions – from laughter to tears – all in less than two hours!

However this is not a review of the movie.  What I wish to key in on is the INTANGIBLE which each of these Four Flawed Fathers filtered to their children. This intangible is their Faith.

The four law enforcement men in this movie have a lot in common with the heroes of Hebrews 11. These men of verses 20-22 are called the Patriarchs – or fathers of an entire people. It is written: ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.

Today is the Second day of the Feast of Trumpets. It is New Year’s Day for our Jewish brethren!

First of all – HAPPY NEW YEAR (Rosh Hashanah) ! It is now the year 5772! While the western world uses the Julian Calendar, the Jewish calendar is closer to correct Biblically.

Many Christians neglect the Jewish Holidays as a lot of pompous American churches from American Baptist to Charismatic and the unbiblical mainlines religious organizations believe in something called “Replacement Theology”  (Click here). This is not only wrong but blasphemous of the Lord Jesus Christ.

It is Christ Himself who instituted the Jewish Feasts and celebrated them Himself! Not just that, but in the Milennial Kingdom, when He reigns from Jerusalem, Trumpets and Tabernacles (Succot) are coming back according to Biblical Prophesy!

Let us all celebrate the Coming New Year with my brothers in the Jewish Community today, because spiritually this date is closer to the Creation of Man by God, in the Book of Genesis.

Happy New Year! Next up – Yom Kippur and the Feast of the Tabernacles. Tabernacles is most important because Jesus will reinstitute this in the coming Kingdom Reign of 1000 years! Stay tuned!
