Christmas at the Movies

A Christmas Story (Gifts)

December 28, 2019 • Pastor Chad Ott

Like in "A Christmas Story," we might dream of the perfect Christmas gift even if we might be unlikely to receive it. However, on this weekend after Christmas, we are reminded how we've already received the perfect Christmas gift and our lives will never be the same.

A Charlie Brown Christmas (Simplicity)

December 21, 2019 • Pastor Daniel Ondov

"A Charlie Brown Christmas" presents the Christmas story in one of the most humble ways. We'll see that humility in how Jesus’s birth didn’t meet people’s expectations of how God was going to rescue them, and his focus wasn’t where they expected.

A Christmas Carol (The Marginalized)

December 14, 2019 • Pastor Chad Ott

As we highlight elements of "A Christmas Carol" we'll again tie in the incarnation. Specifically, how it teaches us that God cares about the physical world, especially the poor and marginalized.

The Polar Express (Light)

December 7, 2019 • Pastor Daniel Ondov

This week, we'll use the movie "The Polar Express" to illustrate how Jesus came not only for our individual salvation, but as light and peace to a dark and violent world.

Miracle on 34th Street (Incarnation)

November 30, 2019 • Pastor Chad Ott

We kick off this series with the movie Miracle on 34th Street. We'll see how the incarnation represents a new way of God relating to his broken creation and caring intimately about them.
