A GREAT AWAKENING
movie viewing
Hosted by Cortland Trinity Baptist Church
Join us on June 28th to watch A Great Awakening, a powerful movie produced by Sight and Sound Theater. A Great Awakening is based on a true story. The 2026 historical drama chronicles the true events of America's first major spiritual revival in the 1730s and 1740s.
“With the colonies on the brink of collapse, the Rev. George Whitefield unites an entire generation with his thundering sermons and proclamations of liberty. In a miraculous turn of events, Benjamin Franklin becomes one of Whitefield's closest friends and greatest promoters. With the nation's freedom hanging in the balance, the founders discover true liberty cannot only be written into law -- it must be awakened in the hearts of the people.”
Its main promotion is that, before the Revolution, there was a revelation. As God used the preaching of George Whitefield, more than 150,000 came to faith in Christ, which fueled the belief that liberty and freedom are from God, not government, and thus formed our nation.
