Star Wars is one of the most successful and influential movie franchises in history. It depicts the adventures of characters "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away" surrounded by a mystical power known as the "Force." Creator George Lucas said, "I put the Force into the movie in order to try to awaken a certain kind of spirituality in young people - more a belief in God..."

Today we will follow George Lucas and the Bible to see if we can discover something about God.

1. God is eternal (Psalm 90:2).

2. God is internal (Luke 17:21).

3. God is powerful (Ephesians 1:19)

4. God is personal (Isaiah 41:10; Psalm 23:1-6)

Frozen

August 25, 2024 • Greg Burdine • 1 Corinthians 13

Frozen is a 2013 animated movie inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, The Snow Queen. It centers around two sisters, Else and Anna, and their relationship with each other and several other characters. It ends like every good fairy tale - they lived happily ever after. It has catchy songs, quirky characters and a heartwarming story of love. The Bible presents a true meaning of love in 1 Corinthians 13. 1. Love is essential (v. 1-3) 2. Love is effective (v. 4-7). 3. Love is eternal (v. 8-13). Love is putting someone else's needs first. Sacrificial love is powerful.

Spiderman

August 18, 2024 • Greg Burdine • Luke 12:42–48

"With great power comes great responsibility." This quote sets the theme for the contemporary Spiderman movies. Based on Marvel Comics' superhero character, Peter Parker, was bitten by a genetically altered spider and develops spider-like superhuman abilities. Not knowing what happened, his Uncle Ben challenged his use of power. We can learn lessons about power and responsibility as we are called to live out our faith. 1. Responsibility has power. 2. Identity has struggle. 3. Sacrifice is real.
