Pastor Exegetes ‘How The Grinch Stole Christmas’ For Christmas Movies Sermon Series
Not content to do Summer at the Movies like most seek-sensitive churches, multi-campus megachurch Victory Family Church in PA is putting on a “Christmas at the Movies” where congregants and guests will have “four weeks of fun”, be given all the soda and popcorn they want, and “get together, watch clips from one of our favorite movies of the season, and pull out Biblical truths that apply to our daily lives.”
First up, an exegesis of the film “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.’
We’ve seen several of these sermon series, such as Church Puts on Super-Mario Themed Church Service, Church Hires’ Captain Jack Sparrow’ Impersonator to Mingle With Congregants and Video: Church Crucifies Iron Man on Stage For ‘Avengers’ Easter Sermon, but they’re usually reserved for warmer weather, and December movie sermon series is a new one.
Unfortunately, because of copyright laws, the church is unable to stream the services or upload them to YouTube, given the copious amount of movie clips they’re showing, so we’ll have to let our imaginations fill in the blanks on how bad the sermon will be.
Pastor John Nuzzo explains they selected this particular film because the Whos in Whoville serve as a cautionary tale for the risk of letting Christmas “be about all the external things” resulting in missing what “Christmas was really intended to be.”
