John 1:1-4
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was in the beginning with God. 3All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being 4in him was life, and the life was the light of all people.
1 Corinthians 14:10-11
10There are doubtless many different kinds of sounds in the world, and nothing is without sound. 11If then I do not know the meaning of a sound, I will be a foreigner to the speaker and the speaker a foreigner to me.
1 Corinthians 13:12-13
12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. 13 And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.
Faith & Film V - Arrival
For the next six weeks, the sermons will feature aliens, samurai, WWII medics, wizards, airplane pilots, and jazz pianists. If you're relatively new to First Presbyterian Church, you might be thinking, "Wait a minute...I don't remember any of those things in the Bible." But if you've been here awhile, you know that this is the time of year when we talk about movies. Not just any movies, but some of the most watched or crititically acclaimed movies of the past year across a broad spectrum of styles and genres--usually everything from historical drama to science fiction and fantasy, comedy and romance to action-adventure, animated family film to art-house films. I try to include something for everyone, while also stretching people beyond the types of films they usually might see.
But why movies?
