In the Fall of 2008, Sherwood Pictures released the movie, "Fireproof" to theaters across America. This is a story of a husband and wife, Caleb and Catherine, who have been married for seven years and are heading down the road toward divorce. Caleb, played by Kirk Cameron, is a heroic fire captain who values dedication and service to others above all else. But the most important partnership in his life, his marriage, is about to go up in smoke. We follow this man's desire to transform his life and marriage through the healing power of faith and fully embrace the fireman's code: Never Leave Your Partner Behind.
Starting on January 6 of this year, I preached a six-week sermon series entitled, "Fireproof Your Relationships," where we explored what God has to say about love, differences between men and women, breaking free from temptations and addictions that threaten marriages, and forgiveness. We showed video clips from the movie to help illustrate biblical principles in the sermons. We also utilized the small group Bible study curriculum on Sunday night. We had about 13 people in attendance over the six weeks.
If you are a member of Hindsboro Christian Church, please post some comments about what you thought or learned about this sermon series and Bible study. I would also like to know if this is something we should continue to do in the future (using movies to help illustrate the message).
If you haven't seen or heard these sermons, they are available at our website on video. Go to http://www.hindsborochristian.com/ and click on the sermons link and then the 2009 link.
