Watch the NEW "Christmas with The Chosen: The Messengers" on TV!

First, if you are not familiar with The Chosen, it is a drama series based on the life of Jesus of Nazareth, created, directed and co-written by American filmmaker Dallas Jenkins. The Chosen is "an exploration of the life of Jesus Christ through the perspective of those that interacted with him." It all began with one episode titled The Shepherd in 2017, which tells the amazing story of the birth of Jesus from a shepherd's point of view. The Chosen series developed from there and many more episodes later, it has become overwhelming popular through streaming sources, etc...

You can see The Shepherd this Christmas on TV on the TCT Channel on Thursday, December 23, 2021 at 7:05pm/6:05c and Saturday, December 25, 2021 at 1:38pm/12:38c.

Also, this Christmas, a new episode titled: Christmas with The Chosen: The Messengers was first released in theaters breaking box office records. You can see current theater and ticket details through Fanthom Events.

Christmas with The Chosen: The Messengers is 2 hours long featuring musical performances from various artists and groups including Phil Wickham, for KING & COUNTRY, Cain, We The Kingdom, Matt Maher, Dawson Hollow and many more. Along with the musical performances there is a new episode of The Chosen which is 40-minutes long and follows the events surrounding the birth of Jesus from the perspective of Mary and Joseph.

If you can't make it to the theater or simply prefer to watch from home, then I have good news for you! You can see special airings of Christmas with The Chosen: The Messengers on TV!

The full two-hour film that played in theaters, including the new 40-min. episode of The Chosen and 80 minutes of musical performances, will air first on BYUtv on:
Sunday December 19, 2021 at 3 pm ET/ 12 pm PT.

The 40-min. episode of The Chosen will be repeated at the following dates/times on BYUtv:
Thurs. Dec. 23: 8 pm ET/5 pm PT, 11 pm ET/8 pm PT;
Fri. Dec. 24: 12 pm ET/9 am PT, 12 am ET (Sat.)/9 pm PT;
Sat. Dec. 25: 1 pm ET/10 am PT.
(Dates and times according to rexburgstandardjournal.com)

In addition to BYUtv, you can also see Christmas with The Chosen: The Messengers on UPtv! The full 2 hours will air on Christmas Eve,
Friday, December 24, 2021 at 7pm/6c, with these extra encore times:
Saturday, December 25, 2021 at 1am/12c, 7am/6c, and 11pm/10c.

The TBN network is also playing The Chosen Christmas Special on Wednesday December 22 at 9pm/8c. and Christmas day, Saturday December 25 at 2pm/1c. (Please note: So far, their schedule does not say if this is the new special or last years.)

I think it is very interesting with all the numerous new Christmas movies airing on TV across various networks, that a program like The Chosen is topping box office records. People are going out to theaters and paying to see it! What does that tell me? People are craving for the true meaning of Christmas! Sure, many of the Christmas romantic comedies on TV are delightful and fun to watch, but when it comes down to it, most people desire to see what Christmas is really about - the birth of Jesus! How refreshing! This gives me hope for the future as we soon end this year and begin a new one.

Joyous Blessings to You All
as we rejoice together over the Savior's birth!

Merry Christmas!
In His Love, Net

Another weekend is here, my friends. At a time like this, with all of the sadness going in the world, it's nice to see how UPtv is honoring the Easter holiday with Biblical and inspirational programming. We definitely need more stories that share peace, hope and God's amazing love.

On Saturday, we can see many familiar faces in the UPtv movies- including Trevor Donovan in Love Finds You in Charm, Sarah Lancaster in Love Finds You in Sugarcreek, Lindsay Wagner in Love Finds You in Valentine, and Candace Cameron Bure in Finding Normal!

Also, I'm sure all devoted fans of When Calls the Heart will be glued to their TV's again this weekend to watch the marathon on Sunday and see what happens next in the all new episode. My heart is totally invested in this season and each character. It's wonderful how the writers have more fully explored the various roles each person plays within the community of Hope Valley. I've always been most intrigued by Rosemary and Lee; I'm quite curious to see what the selling of Dottie's dress shop will mean for Rosemary's future. What direction will she take now with her life? This season, I love the addition of the Canfield family; I keep hoping Joseph will eventually become their new minister. Hope Valley has gone way too long without a spiritual leader. Two new favorites for me to watch this season are Florence and Ned. What a sweet little development to watch these two work so closely together and see how much they care for one another. Also, when is Fiona returning to Hope Valley? I miss that fun, sweet girl! And, yes... I'm still personally rooting for Mountie Nathan Grant to win Elizabeth's heart in the end. I truly feel he already has; Elizabeth simply hasn't accepted the risk of letting her heart go. That's just my thoughts... please share yours in comments below!

Hope you enjoy the new premieres this weekend!

Blessings to you all!

Happy Palm Sunday! Net
