Free Movie “Why the Nativity?” at Lee Theater
2025-12-10 18:00 - 20:00 | Lee Theatre, 41676 West Morgan Avenue, Pennington Gap, VA, 24277, United States
In an attempt to reach the world, our church is hosting a FREE community showing of “Why the Nativity?” on Wednesday, December 10th at 6pm at Lee Theater in Pennington Gap!This is a movie that David Jeremiah helped produce about the birth of Jesus. Come out and enjoy a FREE movie with FREE !
Every year, millions of people around the globe celebrate Christmas. But what does it all mean? Do we really understand the profound importance and authenticity of the birth of Jesus? Why the virgin Mary? Why a carpenter named Joseph? Why poor shepherds and wealthy kings clamoring to worship a Newborn King? And why are the Old Testament prophecies that predicted the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem so important to the Christmas story?
Drawing from both the Old and New Testaments, noted pastor, author, and theologian Dr. David Jeremiah provides answers to some of the most thought-provoking questions surrounding the most pivotal moment in human history—the birth of Jesus Christ.
Travel back in time and experience the sights and sounds of that first Christmas. You’ll have a front-row seat to the Nativity story as you witness the Old Testament prophets foretelling the birth of Jesus, Gabriel appearing to Mary, Joseph and Mary traveling the road to the crowded city of Bethlehem, angels appearing to shepherds, the brilliant star guiding the Wise Men from the East, and baby Jesus lying in a manger in a humble stable in Bethlehem.
‘Why the Nativity?’ is a fascinating presentation of biblical history with stunning visual dramatics creating an unforgettable journey through the wonders of Christmas!
