    Changing World, Unchanging God

    Andy Wood | July 23, 2023

    Join us as we kick off a new message series called At the Movies! This weekend, Pastor Andy Wood talks about the film Top Gun: Maverick, and how it shows us the unchanging nature of God. Culture may change, but we can anchor ourselves in his Word.

    Message Action Plan

    Talk It Over

    Message Action Plan

    Scriptures Used
    Hebrews 13:8; Acts 13:36; Matthew 9:17; Romans 8:1–2; Psalm 119:89–91; Matthew 24:35; Romans 12:2; 1 John 5:3; John 1:14a; John 14:16–17

    1. I can live for God's eternal purposes in my generation. Acts 13:36

    ACTION PLAN: Who has God placed in your circle of influence?  Co-workers, family members, neighbors?  What can you show them this week that will tell them you love them.  Ask God to open opportunities this week to show Jesus' love.

    1. I can adapt my approach without copying the culture. Matthew 9:17; Romans 12:2

    ACTION PLAN: Invite your friends to the rest of this At The Movie series (upcoming movies being discussed are Toy Story 4, Lion, and Jesus Revolution).     

    1. I can learn from my past without letting it define me. Romans 8:1–2

    ACTION PLAN: Memorize Romans 8:1 – "So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus." Say it to yourself over and over throughout the week.  Bring your past to that verse and let God's grace and promise flood over any negative emotions. 

    1. I can anchor myself in the truth of God's Word and his character. Psalm 119:89–91

    2. I can accept responsibility for my life. 1 John 5:3

    3. I can only fulfill God's mission with God's help. John 14:16–17
    Diving Deeper: Dive Deeper this week by listening to this new Doable Discipleship podcast interview on Theology and Film with Dr. Kutter Callaway, Professor at Fuller Seminary.
