Week 380// June 1, 2014 // Godzilla
This week we kicked off our At The Movies 2 series with Godzilla. The story of the is one of a governmental cover up from the 1950s that resurfaces today… much like our own pasts. Our present day fears are fueled by our past experiences. When we bury them instead of learning from them, we they fuel us in the wrong ways. Listen as Lead Pastor Curt Walters uses the life of Moses to demonstrate how our fears can keep us from what God wants to do in and through us.
Week 381// June 8, 2014 // Blended
Every family has conflict, whether it’s Blended or not. Even in the Bible there is not a family’s story recorded that doesn’t have tension. Listen as Lead Pastor Curt Walters explains how following Christ’s example can help us go after the ideal when reality gets in the way.
Week 382// June 15, 2014 // X-Men: Days of Future Past
Unlike the X-Men you can’t change your past in order to have a better future. Lead Pastor Curt Walters shares the story of Sampson and compares a life of one who does what is “right in his/her own eyes” to one who follows the promptings of God. Listen to learn how to live a life of no regrets.
Week 383// June 22, 2014 // Maleficent
In Maleficent there are characters that want to strike out with revenge after being hurt… Frequently we respond the same way because we see it as seeking what we consider to be “justice.” However, that’s not our place. Listen as Teaching Team Member Julie Buchtenkirch shares how to keep a Godly perspective when we have been wounded.
Week 384// June 29, 2014 // Jersey Boys
Jersey Boys tells the story of Frankie Vali and the 4 Seasons. Narrated through the eyes of the cast everyone “remembers things the way they needed to” to tell their parts of the story. Perceptions form what we believe to be true and forgiveness is no different than anything else… our perspectives can skew our thoughts on it. Listen as Curt Walters explains the importance of forgiveness in our lives.
Week 385// July 06, 2014 // Transformers
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could change as easily as the robots in Transformers? It would be so much simpler if God would just fix us without any commitment on our parts. However, it rarely works that way. Listen as Lead Pastor Curt Walters gleans lessons about change from a New Testament story of Jesus healing a lame man.
