Movie Review: Risen
By Stephen George (Minister: Trinity North East)
Last week I saw the pre-release of the movie Risen, and as I walked out of the cinema I thought to myself, “I can’t believe we are about to let a massive evangelistic opportunity pass us by unnoticed”.
Let me give you the background story. I am a minister in the Trinity Network in Adelaide, Australia, and I had heard nothing of this movie until someone in my congregation sent me an email link to the trailer, along with an invitation to the pre-release. When I got that invite, I have to admit that my immediate thought was, “Oh great, another mediocre ‘Christian’ movie”. However, when I followed the link and saw the trailer I suddenly doubted everything I thought I knew about Christian movies. It was actually very good. So I went to the pre-release and, while I don’t think everyone is going to love everything about this movie, I think it provides a great opportunity for evangelism.
Sermon: Made Alive (Ephesians 2:1-10)
Sunday’s 9am sermon ‘Made Alive’ (Ephesians 2:1-10) by Ken Noakes is now available: http://bit.ly/1LK3g6X
‘It is to this world; dead, enslaved, condemned and ignorant that God shows his love, mercy, grace and kindness.’ – Ken Noakes
Question: ‘What do you think is the biggest misconception unbelievers have about Jesus?’
How would you answer ?
Humbly, I am not sure I am the one to determine what the biggest misconception may be, but let me offer this thought. I wonder if a key misconception that unbelievers have about Jesus is that he is dead!
Mark
What was the question that Mark could never escape?
‘I was at a youth group party one afternoon and saw a leader with a cassette recorder working his way around the group asking a question.
‘Shy as I was about being recorded and having to reveal something significant about myself, I secretly listened in to prepare my answer. “Why do you believe in God?” was the question, terrifying me even more than doing a recording.
