God On Film

4 Weeks

Big Idea of the Series

God on Film is a 4-week at the movies sermon series, using blockbuster spring and summer films to reflect on one question: What is God like?

We all like to think we’re the writer and director of our own lives, but we all live under the sovereignty of another Power. God is in control of the universe, yet his love and goodness compel him to provide us redemption through Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection.

Each message in this “at the movies” sermon series comes with a biblical text(s) and reference to a spring or summer 2019 film to illustrate some of the issues discussed in that passage.

With so many big-budget movies hitting theaters each year, your students can’t help but discuss each week’s latest theatrical release. Why? Because films move our imagination and capture our attention like good art does.

Not only will this series be an exciting change of pace, it will also help your group better understand and apply the teachings of Scripture.

Using This Series Guide

What is the Series Guide?

The Series Guide is a comprehensive resource designed to help you lead your congregation through this sermon series. It includes weekly sermon outlines, discussion questions, and key theological insights to support your teaching preparation.

Each guide has been thoughtfully crafted to provide you with both depth and flexibility as you prepare your messages.

This series includes 4 weeks of content.

What is the Series Guide Not?

The Series Guide is not a word-for-word sermon script. It's not meant to replace your own study and preparation, but rather to complement it with additional resources and structure.

It also doesn't include all media assets - those are available in the downloads section.

How Do I Use this Series Guide?

We recommend starting with the series overview to understand the big picture themes. Then, for each week, review the scripture passages, main points, and illustrations provided.

Use the discussion questions for small groups or to spark your own thinking. Feel free to adapt any content to fit your congregation's specific needs and context.
