The Movies

4 Weeks

Big Idea of the Series

This 4-week series is ideal for the summer blockbuster season. With so many big-budget movies hitting theaters this time of year, your group and community 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. Each message in this ‘The Movie’ series comes with a biblical text(s) and an upcoming film to illustrate some of the issues discussed in that passage. Not only will this series be an exciting change of pace, it will also help your children’s group better understand and apply the teachings of Scripture. Compare to God on Film (adult) and God on Film (youth).

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.
