10 Powerful Movies That Will Restore Your Faith In God
By Movieguide® Contributor
The Bible says in 1 Peter 5:10, “And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.” This encouraging word from the Lord teaches that while believers may face suffering, God is there to restore our faith when we feel weak. This curated list of films features characters who overcome trials with hope and trust in Christ. For those who may be facing a difficult time, take heart knowing that He gives us strength to win the battle.
DO YOU BELIEVE?
DO YOU BELIEVE? is an incredibly powerful movie that follows 12 different people through their individual struggles with faith, trial, pain and loss and how the power of the Cross makes each of these lives intersect. DO YOU BELIEVE? is exceptionally well made with great performances and a life changing Christian message, but a light caution is advised for young children due to some mature elements.
