Don’t ask me my favorite movie.

In fact, narrowing it down to my top 20 movies would be difficult, because I love movies. I love losing myself in story. I love connecting with a flawed character. I wince when there’s hurt and rejoice when there’s triumph. Stories have a way of sticking with us more than lectures ever could.

This is why Jesus told stories. Jesus understood the power they held and locked in these stories with humor, heartbreak, loyalty, and breakthrough. Each story held a new revelation to God’s character. Each one showed God’s goodness in a new light.

YOU ARE A STORY!

You are a bestseller. God is using YOUR LIFE to show new revelations of His character. Every season you’re in shows God’s goodness in a new light. Think back over your years and see how God has been proving his love for you through all the humor, heartbreak, loyalty, and breakthrough life has thrown you.

Psalm 139:16
You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.

This Sunday, we start our brand new series “At The Movies”, where we take a fun, refreshing look at some of the movies that have become a part of our everyday culture and language. Caleb will start things off this week with THE AVENGERS. When he ties in God’s Word with the heart of the movie, you may find this art of communicating truth with a memorable story still remains today.
