The First Stone (1993) | Full Movie | Champagne Powell | Matthew Socia | Edward T. McDougal | John Wischner
Under some odd circumstances, the church janitor becomes the leader of an unruly youth group. His unconventional style gains the acceptance of the youth but not the church. This film presents a good message of reaching out to the unloved and also shows some of the inner workings of a religious establishment.
Director: John Wischner
Writer: John Wischner
Starring: Champagne Powell, Matt Socia, Charles King, Paul Lane, Sarah McGowan

Very humble man❤beautiful lesson to youth❤movie left me with tears flowing down😢

[@idamohler6356]

Great inspirational MOVIE!. The true gospel message is evident in the lives that were changed by Christ. It also serves as a 'wake up call' to the ones who need to lay down their lives & serve the Lord with their whole heart. Thank you from 🇨🇦

Thanks for sharing and to add to your point. A prayer of complete surrender using caps as emphasis to help others find THE WAY AT GOD'S MERCY, HIS LOVE GIFT IN JESUS CHRIST. On a balcony of space STEPPED A PURE AND HOLY GOD. IN AWESOME SOLITUDE YOU STOOD ALONE. Not one faint star to give YOU light; just endless darkness, it was blackest night. But somehow in the darkness YOU COULD SEE. YOU SAW mountains high and lofty, YOU SAW valleys lush and green. YOU SAW babbling brooks, and wildflowers grow, YOU EVEN HEARD a robin sing. Then through YOUR COMPASSION STANDING OUT THERE IN YOUR TOMORROW, YOU SAW forum's visitors, their families and friends. 🥰 YOU SAW them as sinners (missing the mark resulting in their weaknesses prevailing causing guilt of wrong doing) because there is no intrinsic righteousness in any of us due to Adam’s sin. YOU SAW them as they grew from a baby into adulthood due to YOUR HANDS OF MERCY. 🥰 YOU SAW them pursuing a career path for the purpose of obtaining the gains of the world not realizing that it is a loss compared to what YOU DID on the cross. YOU SAW them working long and laboring hard to receive the grace by justification even though YOU stated, "This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."(John 6:29 KJV) YOU SAW the unwillingness to accept YOUR PLAN OF SALVATION THROUGH YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST. YOU SAW them living with the guilt of committing crimes to the heart. YOU SAW them enduring personal crisis. YOU SAW the weight of the burden on their hearts with each tribulation. YOU SAW them seeking comfort from the above mentioned topography, ONE OF THE MANY MARVELS YOUR PERFECT HANDS HAVE MADE. 👏👏👏 YOU SAW their worries about tomorrow. If their hearts were a window that they could look through, oh the pains and scars they would see. What a cruel fate the skin gives as a mask to the inward pain. But the skin couldn’t cover THE SUFFERING YOUR ONE AND ONLY SON BORED on the cross as PAYMENT for all our sins because HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ALONE HAD THE MERIT TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR HOLINESS. Indeed, ONLY HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SUFFICIENT TO SAVE us from this present evil world as evidenced by Mary's song of praise. "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." (Luke 1:46-47 KJV) Awesome thanks to YOUR GREAT PARDON for being easy on the heart. 🥰 They have seen a lot of crazy things done in YOUR NAME. For example, the father of lies futile attempts to make crooked the right ways of the LORD to turn people away from faith in the WORKS OF JESUS CHRIST ALONE. How can anyone bear the thought of his or her life story detracting from the GLORY AND HONOR KNOWN TO BELONG TO CHRIST ALONE? As a consequence, YOU ARE A MYSTERY OF GREAT MYSTERY to them. Despite this conviction, YOU ARE MINDFUL of them as evidenced by the fact that YOUR JUDGEMENT is not speedy, allowing them to pursue the desires of the flesh. They are aware of hypocrisy in religious assemblies that like to be seen and heard. In addition, secular education teaches that there is no right and wrong, if GOD exists there is no way of relating to HIM, and moral standards shift according to the whims of fashion. Therefore, their minds are conditioned to question everything this world has to offer including “THY POWER THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE DISPLAYED.” They have accepted the heavy burden of dealing with the troubles of this life and seek to know another way, YOU THE GREAT COMFORTER TO ALL who did receive YOU as their personal SAVIOR. Still, YOU have shown them NEW MERCY every day with each thought they make and each breath they take. Unfortunately, like the prodigal son, we are all guilty of wandering far from YOU LORD because the negative experiences of our lives tend to build roadblocks to the TRUTH. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them to identify the way, truth, and eternal life (that is YOU). Since to know and follow your SPIRIT is more exciting than any 007 movies, and YOU DELIGHT MAKING the ordinary into extraordinary. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST MAKE them understand that there is no way around YOUR TRUTH, and that there is something about YOUR NAME. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them defeat in their minds what is false in YOUR EYES. LORD GUIDE their thoughts to know that the path of sin is hard on their hearts for the purpose of crying out to YOU to know the joy, peace of having the heavy burden LIFTED by THE GOD OF PEACE I AM, and ANCHOR their souls in THE HAVEN OF REST. In other words, LORD use the storms in their lives to get a hold of them to trust YOU and believe. In truth, YOU ARE THE JOY that seekest them through pain. LORD HELP their fainting hearts to believe that YOU, who was slain on the cross over 2000 years ago has the POWER TO CHANGE lives today through the INSTANTANEOUS GREAT FAVOR from GOD to the house of Israel made known in believers by YOU to make YOUR NAME EVERLASTING. 🥰 For as the statue liberates the citizens so the cross liberates the soul. ONLY YOU can calm the trouble waters of the mind when one admits to wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, JESUS IS LORD, and believes in the heart that GOD RAISED HIM from the dead TO LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt away from the heart in accordance to YOUR WORD found in Psalm 51:1-10 KJV. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 O, the wonder of it all to experience within the flesh the feeling of a tree being cut back/pruned in order for it to grow stronger and more beautiful after meditating on the words of said Psalm. 🥰🙌 LORD MAKE them know that ONLY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, through the experience of a new birth within believers, can prevent the family circle from being broken because THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE YOU HAVE GRANTED means a chapter of their lives is decided. Creation sings the rebirth song for them yearly, through YOUR PROMISE of springtime, giving rise to the idea that by the mention of YOUR NAME flowers grow, and the desert blooms again. 🥰 LORD GUIDE their understanding of words to use to come into YOUR PRESENCE with an honest reverence of WHO YOU ARE to experience the beauty that time can't erase YOUR WISDOM resting on their faces. LORD STRENGTHEN their determination to never waiver in efforts to search for YOU because the wages of sin is too high for anyone to pay. Additionally, THE KING OF KINGS is needed in their hearts to learn how to expand their capacity to love for YOU are LOVE in any language. 🥰 Once they learn to speak it with boldness through YOUR WONDERFUL COUNSELING all the world will hear, and know that LOVE is the language of their hearts. So LORD, KEEP KNOCKING on their door until they let YOU in to know hardships and struggles will end with a GREAT CELEBRATION WITH YOU. 🥰🙌 If one believes faith cannot be forced, YOU WILL GIVE that individual over to the stubborn heart to follow own counsel which will surely fail him or her to the extent that the punishment will last forever found in Psalms 81 NIV. Given this, I pray that YOU WILL MAKE that person see that this feeling is wasted for a world in which we become strangers as we age, gives us thrills instead of peace, aims to solve a problem but creates another, and unrest surges with each passing generation. Shed some light into their broken hearts for YOU ARE THE GREAT JEHOVAH, THE GOD THAT HEALETH thee. Lastly, LORD when they call on YOU in earnest prayer to come into their hearts to be born again (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life), I pray that YOU WILL GIVE them the blessed assurance of their salvation because nothing breaks YOUR HEART, or tears YOU apart like when they cry from the trials of the devil who comes to slander, falsely accuse, steal, kill & destroy. Only by drawing nearer to YOU LORD will put them on a path to a glorious one way trip winding upward to YOU where pain is not welcome because the heart will never break anymore. For ONLY YOU UNDERSTANDS our tears since YOU LOOK at the heart, while humans look at the flesh. O LOVE that will not let them go. When they don't have the strength to try, and have cried all they can cry hear their hearts that need YOU more today than yesterday. Many thanks LORD for speaking TRUTH in our lives TO BLESS those who are not offended by THEE. LET YOUR WILL BE DONE because YOUR LOVE ALONE CONQUERS everything by WAITING for them to cease struggling, and finally surrender to YOUR EMBRACE to learn about YOUR LOVE AND PROMISE TO TAKE CARE of your children exquisitely. 🥰 Since... "at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore"... (Psalms 16:11 KJV), and the nail print for them to know YOU by answering the following question. How did CHRIST LOVE people into a relationship with HIM? 🥰

[@ecastellano5202]

Great example of a humble man that tough how you deal with youth in wisdom love perseverance and show them that the only way to heaven is through Jesus. Great movie. God bless.

Many people get upset watching a movie with a sad ending, but thinking about this one there is a message in it, Praise God

[@whatever736]

Heartwarming, forgiveness.

[@yvonnetheriault5313]

THIS IS A GREAT CHRISTIAN MOVIE AND WE CAN ALL LEARN FROM OUR MIDTAKES ONLY JESUS CHRIST CAN HELP US THANK YOU FOR THIS MOVIE PLEASE PUT MORE ON HERE LIKE THIS ONE GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

[@betzca25]

What a humble man...if we all loved that way...like Jesus does...

[@kapayachitanika5311]

This movie has taught me never to give up and the key is just to speak the word of God. It never changes. Speak it with love. It may look like you are doing nothing. Morale looked like he was doing nothing but regardless of the challenges he faced including the opposition from parents, nothing moved him from fulfilling his ministry. Lord teach us to be faithful witnesses of Christ and remain faithful despite the challenge we may encounter.

so realisic and relatable!!! loved the Jesus-focus! thank you. Powell was brilliant. quality and authentic Christian movie!!!

This movie was a great Inspirational movie I thought at the end that they would tell Morrell not to leave the church but I guess they ended it and you get to think of what will happen next maybe in the pastor in the youth group will come back to Morrell tell him that we really want you back.Morell is a example of a great youth pastor.Morell faced his weakest moment that the devil can put out for him like the man with the drugs and then he found the drugs in his front pocket of his jacket but he did not take the drug. Morell stayed strong even through the temptation and did not yield to taking the drug.God bless all youth Ministries that are like Morell.

[@camillahunter-blair9433]

This guy was a great example of how to lead like Christ Jesus.He was an example to the youth showing them compassion,love and forgiveness.He didn't judge them but showed them uncondtional love.

What a beautiful movie. At the end he pointed them to Jesus and not men. Really powerful

[@carollorraine3835]

Didn't like ending at all

[@ln9119]

The ending wasn't what I expected, but it was realistic. Yes, I would have liked to see what happened next. Would the adults consider what the teens said and realize he had been awesome and ask him to return? Not likely, since they had a "proper" one coming from Fuller Theological Seminary. The ending made think of how when Jesus left the disciples it was up to them what happened. Would they let the Holy Spirit speak and act through them?? Or would they become like the pharmacies or what? Jesus took a big risk, leaving the Great Commission in our hands.

LORD GUIDE their thoughts to know that the path of sin is hard on their hearts for the purpose of crying out to YOU to know the joy, peace of having the heavy burden LIFTED by THE GOD OF PEACE I AM, and ANCHOR their souls in THE HAVEN OF REST. In other words, LORD use the storms in their lives to get a hold of them to trust YOU and believe. In truth, YOU ARE THE JOY that seekest them through pain. LORD HELP their fainting hearts to believe that YOU, who was slain on the cross over 2000 years ago has the POWER TO CHANGE lives today through the INSTANTANEOUS GREAT FAVOR from GOD to the house of Israel made known in believers by YOU to make YOUR NAME EVERLASTING. 🥰 For as the statue liberates the citizens so the cross liberates the soul. ONLY YOU can calm the trouble waters of the mind when one admits to wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, JESUS IS LORD, and believes in the heart that GOD RAISED HIM from the dead TO LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt away from the heart in accordance to YOUR WORD found in Psalm 51:1-10 KJV. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 O, the wonder of it all to experience within the flesh the feeling of a tree being cut back/pruned in order for it to grow stronger and more beautiful after meditating on the words of said Psalm. 🥰🙌 LORD MAKE them know that ONLY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, through the experience of a new birth within believers, can prevent the family circle from being broken because THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE YOU HAVE GRANTED means a chapter of their lives is decided. Creation sings the rebirth song for them yearly, through YOUR PROMISE of springtime, giving rise to the idea that by the mention of YOUR NAME flowers grow, and the desert blooms again. 🥰 LORD GUIDE their understanding of words to use to come into YOUR PRESENCE with an honest reverence of WHO YOU ARE to experience the beauty that time can't erase YOUR WISDOM resting on their faces. LORD STRENGTHEN their determination to never waiver in efforts to search for YOU because the wages of sin is too high for anyone to pay. Additionally, THE KING OF KINGS is needed in their hearts to learn how to expand their capacity to love for YOU are LOVE in any language. 🥰 Once they learn to speak it with boldness through YOUR WONDERFUL COUNSELING all the world will hear, and know that LOVE is the language of their hearts. So LORD, KEEP KNOCKING on their door until they let YOU in to know hardships and struggles will end with a GREAT CELEBRATION WITH YOU. 🥰🙌 If one believes faith cannot be forced, YOU WILL GIVE that individual over to the stubborn heart to follow own counsel which will surely fail him or her to the extent that the punishment will last forever found in Psalms 81 NIV. Given this, I pray that YOU WILL MAKE that person see that this feeling is wasted for a world in which we become strangers as we age, gives us thrills instead of peace, aims to solve a problem but creates another, and unrest surges with each passing generation. Shed some light into their broken hearts for YOU ARE THE GREAT JEHOVAH, THE GOD THAT HEALETH thee. Lastly, LORD when they call on YOU in earnest prayer to come into their hearts to be born again (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life), I pray that YOU WILL GIVE them the blessed assurance of their salvation because nothing breaks YOUR HEART, or tears YOU apart like when they cry from the trials of the devil who comes to slander, falsely accuse, steal, kill & destroy. Only by drawing nearer to YOU LORD will put them on a path to a glorious one way trip winding upward to YOU where pain is not welcome because the heart will never break anymore. For ONLY YOU UNDERSTANDS our tears since YOU LOOK at the heart, while humans look at the flesh. O LOVE that will not let them go. When they don't have the strength to try, and have cried all they can cry hear their hearts that need YOU more today than yesterday. Many thanks LORD for speaking TRUTH in our lives TO BLESS those who are not offended by THEE. LET YOUR WILL BE DONE because YOUR LOVE ALONE CONQUERS everything by WAITING for them to cease struggling, and finally surrender to YOUR EMBRACE to learn about YOUR LOVE AND PROMISE TO TAKE CARE of your children exquisitely. 🥰 Since... "at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore"... (Psalms 16:11 KJV), and the nail print for them to know YOU by answering the following question. How did CHRIST LOVE people into a relationship with HIM? 🥰

Just when you do good for God, the devil comes along and uses someone and something from the past to lure you and to bring you down. James 4: 7 Submit yourself to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

So true. Enemy always trying to steal, kill or destroy. Don't you want to yell at devil drug dealer- GET AWAY!!! LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!

[@MD-hg9dq]

Thanks for sharing and to add to your point. While it may seem like no one is watching, there are actually two, one that would like to keep you in your struggles, and one that wants to help you overcome them. Which one will you choose? With caps as emphasis, a prayer of surrender to GOD using JESUS CHRIST AS THE MEDIATOR to urge the broken, wounded, empty, desperate and guilty to be mended, healed, filled rescued, and pardoned by HIM. On a balcony of space STEPPED A PURE AND HOLY GOD. IN AWESOME SOLITUDE YOU STOOD ALONE. Not one faint star to give YOU light; just endless darkness, it was blackest night. But somehow in the darkness YOU COULD SEE. YOU SAW mountains high and lofty, YOU SAW valleys lush and green. YOU SAW babbling brooks, and wildflowers grow, YOU EVEN HEARD a robin sing. Then through YOUR COMPASSION STANDING OUT THERE IN YOUR TOMORROW, YOU SAW forum's visitors, their families and friends. 🥰 YOU SAW them as sinners (missing the mark resulting in their weaknesses prevailing causing guilt of wrong doing) because there is no intrinsic righteousness in any of us due to Adam’s sin. YOU SAW them as they grew from a baby into adulthood due to YOUR HANDS OF MERCY. 🥰 YOU SAW them pursuing a career path for the purpose of obtaining the gains of the world not realizing that it is a loss compared to what YOU DID on the cross. YOU SAW them working long and laboring hard to receive the grace by justification even though YOU stated, "This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."(John 6:29 KJV) YOU SAW the unwillingness to accept YOUR PLAN OF SALVATION THROUGH YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST. YOU SAW them living with the guilt of committing crimes to the heart. YOU SAW them enduring personal crisis. YOU SAW the weight of the burden on their hearts with each tribulation. YOU SAW them seeking comfort from the above mentioned topography, ONE OF THE MANY MARVELS YOUR PERFECT HANDS HAVE MADE. 👏👏👏 YOU SAW their worries about tomorrow. If their hearts were a window that they could look through, oh the pains and scars they would see. What a cruel fate the skin gives as a mask to the inward pain. But the skin couldn’t cover THE SUFFERING YOUR ONE AND ONLY SON BORED on the cross as PAYMENT for all our sins because HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ALONE HAD THE MERIT TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR HOLINESS. Indeed, ONLY HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SUFFICIENT TO SAVE us from this present evil world as evidenced by Mary's song of praise. "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." (Luke 1:46-47 KJV) Awesome thanks to YOUR GREAT PARDON for being easy on the heart. 🥰 They have seen a lot of crazy things done in YOUR NAME. For example, the father of lies futile attempts to make crooked the right ways of the LORD to turn people away from faith in the WORKS OF JESUS CHRIST ALONE. How can anyone bear the thought of his or her life story detracting from the GLORY AND HONOR KNOWN TO BELONG TO CHRIST ALONE? As a consequence, YOU ARE A MYSTERY OF GREAT MYSTERY to them. Despite this conviction, YOU ARE MINDFUL of them as evidenced by the fact that YOUR JUDGEMENT is not speedy, allowing them to pursue the desires of the flesh. They are aware of hypocrisy in religious assemblies that like to be seen and heard. In addition, secular education teaches that there is no right and wrong, if GOD exists there is no way of relating to HIM, and moral standards shift according to the whims of fashion. Therefore, their minds are conditioned to question everything this world has to offer including “THY POWER THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE DISPLAYED.” They have accepted the heavy burden of dealing with the troubles of this life and seek to know another way, YOU THE GREAT COMFORTER TO ALL who did receive YOU as their personal SAVIOR. Still, YOU have shown them NEW MERCY every day with each thought they make and each breath they take. Unfortunately, like the prodigal son, we are all guilty of wandering far from YOU LORD because the negative experiences of our lives tend to build roadblocks to the TRUTH. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them to identify the way, truth, and eternal life (that is YOU). Since to know and follow your SPIRIT is more exciting than any 007 movies, and YOU DELIGHT MAKING the ordinary into extraordinary. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST MAKE them understand that there is no way around YOUR TRUTH, and that there is something about YOUR NAME. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them defeat in their minds what is false in YOUR EYES.

[@debracarrabba1656]

This was a good movie, showing the difficulties of life & overcoming. Also showing a church not walking with God & his Love. When we pray, we need to pray in Jesus name. It seems that praying in Jesus name at the end of prayer, being not important enough to put it in some Christian movies. Jesus is the only way to come to the father, he is our bridge; so we pray to the father in Jesus name & ask him for what we need.

Even 40+ years later I still miss working with youth. The church has become anything but a place for people to heal. Numbers and money rule it all. It is not what God intended, such a shame.

Saving repentance is realizing that you are a sinner deserving of God's just punishment in Hell and turn (repent) from whatever you trusted in before, if indeed you trusted in anything; to trusting in the person and finished work of Christ alone for salvation.

Repent literally means "turn away from." Just sayin.

@@deborahcollins8963 Turn away from unbelief to belief. True that Repentance of sins is a 180° turn from them. However that's a lifetime of works and has never saved anyone or contributed in any way to salvation. That's for service, not salvation.

Salvation Prayer for you, LORD JESUS, I am a sinner and I Repent of all my sins, Please wash my sins with the Precious Blood of JESUS today, I turn away from all sin, and I receive you into my heart today as my Lord and Saviour, Please write my name in the Lamb's Book of Life, and please send me the HOLY SPIRIT to help me live in holiness, and establish your Word in my heart and protect my heart. Amen

[@davidneal9368]

Shows how many false churches are out there. All there considered about is how much offertory money they get. About the number of congratulation they get. For one day of the week play happily families. While rest of the week stab you in the back. Slander others. Judge. No wonder Jesus will say on that day. I never knew you! They believe good works will earn their way into heaven. By grace we are saved. Not by works. It's by believing and trusting in the finished work of what he did for us on the cross that saves.

Classic

[@desertodavid]

47:22 forgive me Lord for those horrible names I called this pastor while watching this scene.

[@ThyWordIsTruthJ17]

He doesn't really know Jesus. Many pastors have never really met Him.

[@gogos869]

This is why reformed theology is so important! The Bible is amazing but we don’t teach it correctly. God gave you an amazing mind! Please start using it!

[@ladennayoung2939]

Amen. That is what it is ALL about. Doing the will of our Heavenly Father. He complained about everything. SMH.

[@lorielliot3945]

The ending of this movie was absolutely horrible after watching such a great movie there’s no reason why that pastor should not have taken him back all the kids loved him and they all said that he had helped him so much and even some of the parents did why that stubborn pastor would not have taken him back is so horrible it makes me not even want to go to church anymore that movie had such a horrible ending I would not advise anyone to watch it you waste two hours of your time watching some thing only to cry rise out at the end

[@debracarrabba1656]

The pastor has to follow what the board says, the board voted for Morelle to leave.

[@Maggie0758]

Horrible ending. Reason n why I don’t belong or believe in any of those places called church ⛪️ bunch of hipocrites 😠👎

[@esthermohammed1621]

Calm down, you don't base your going to church or not on what has happened or didn't happen. You go to church because you love God and you want to learn Christ!

[@KendrickHarrisKenfinity]

Amen. Hallelujah! No matter what we've been through, or facing in our place of work specifically, the Lord will always shine through the situation. And no "stones" shall be casted since we all must continue to come to Jesus, in everyway, everyday. Such a powerful and clever "Being able to change lives by Morrell having the chance to help these youths and the church as a whole", journey. Exodus 14:14, 20:3, 20:6-7, 20:12, 23:25, Deuteronomy 30:19, 31:6, 30:14, 29:29, 1:6-8, 8:1, Hosea 4:6, Joel 2:25, 3:10, Nahum 1:9, Matthew 10:31-33, 6:27-28, 6:34-38, 6:19, 7:7, 7:13-14, 7:12, 24:10-14, 24:36-37, Luke 6:34-38, 6:27-28, 1:37, 24:18, 18:1, Titus 2:13, 3:5, 2 Corinthians 5:17-21, 4:16, 4:18, 1:3-4, 1:8-9, 4:8-9 and Jude 1:21🙏🏾🙌🏾🤝🏾💪🏾💞🌊🌄 Stay safe and encouraged everyone!

[@Kim-el6yz]

I'm a tad riled up.... how many of the church leaders and adult congregation Visited the sick, gave a cup of water, fed the poor and clothed them... ???

[@JustJeph33]

I remember church life...like Laodicea. Revelation ch. 3

[@darlawallace6614]

The church was so wrong! People should be about loving people, especially people who have wandered off. The church didn’t show love. Jesus shows us in the Bible that he went around to visit the lowliest of lowly people...He never cast them aside.

[@colonalklink14]

For anyone who might be confused. Jesus is Lord God Almighty clothed in unsinful humanity and He is the author of eternal life to all who trust Him alone for salvation. Saving repentance is realizing that you are a sinner deserving of God's just punishment in Hell and turn (repent) from whatever you trusted in before, if indeed you trusted in anything; to trusting in the person and finished work of Christ alone for salvation.

[@eileenfisher587]

Tear jerker at the end. The body of Christ better do better than that - love is supposed to be our hallmark. Really disappointed that the pastor ddnt come running out after him at the end to apologize and give that youth pastor a promotion & reason to stay.

[@LETTO2366]

nice

[@deborahcollins8963]

I thought the pastor would come running out and say they voted to keep him. Should be a part two. But oh well.

[@marciabaxley1959]

Great movie but too many advertising

[@davidneal9368]

A good ending would be Muriel is accepted by a true church and accepted. While at this hypocritical church. An act of God happens. While there in church on Sunday morning. Without warning a thunder ⚡ bolt strikes the church roof and destroys the pulpit.

[@learningeveryday1027]

I pray that I never become so self righteous & judgmental.

[@MaggieReef]

Do you guys have choices as to what the commercials are. So it might be watching this for an answer and then decide they need to go get a drink when they look at the commercials. They’ve all been alcohol related!

[@BROTHERJONATHANBURG]

WHEN A SOULS WAYS PLEASE THE LORD JESUS OUR FATHER JESUS WILL MAKE EVEN A SOULS ENEMIES AT PEACE WITH HIM!! REPENT & BE BAPTIZED NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS & YE SHALL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST!! AND BY HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED!!

[@arpadlazar3571]

so sad peple can be rude

[@agneshouessou9765]

🤔Not sure I like that ending. The message is sound enough; mind you, it's easy for someone to make a huge difference when they don't have to be bogged down with all the red tape as one who is fully trained and going by the book! Still, he did his best and from the heart. 🤔Tell me though, why give away your Bible? And to the Preacher's son! Ah well! P.s. We all know churches like this one, I dare say. Sad! 😢 🕯✝️🛐🌹

[@BROTHERJONATHANBURG]

THE HEART OF A KING IS IN THE HAND OF THE LORD AS A RIVER & LORD JESUS CAN TURN IT ANY WAY HE SO WISELY CHOOSES! ALL RULERS HEARTS!! REPENT & BE BAPTIZED NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS & YE SHALL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST!!

[@angeldvlp6943]

You can't make someone do a job that Jesus is calling you to do if you see it and your heart is breaking then it's for you to pray and God will tell you how to move it's you ministry.

[@Rainstorm1301]

Good movie...BUT HORRIBLE ENDING!!!

[@joejoel8962]

Blessed are the meek (those whom are willing to lissen), for they will inherit the earth! 50 mins in. Good choices Morell. Good choices! 1:03 Way to grow Sloun. Morell, the church hypocrites are about to be the best that they can be, look out; "DUCK" ¡Heads up! 1:10 Oh nooooo0000 Here comes some hugs from a bunch of spoiled chids!!! Make sure you take a bath, burn your clothes.

[@jessicawalters9427]

35:31 that is one of Satan s people who are all ways trying to do their evil work

[@shallyjoseph3690]

I guess that's what we would call a church full of fake christians! Good movie!
