We’re getting ready to kick off our annual God @ the Box Office series.

I honestly think that most churches get B’s in biblical exegesis and D’s in cultural exegesis. We need to get A’s in both/and. The Old Testament talks about the tribe of Isaachar who “understood the times.” If we’re going to “understand the times” then we’ve got to be dialed into movies and music. That is why we do God @ the Box Office and God @ the Billboard.

During our God at the Box Office series we talk about spiritual themes in popular movies. We’ll show some clips and then juxtapose them with Scripture. It is typically the series where NCCers invite the most friends. We also found that some of our hardest hitting messages are in these two series because movies and music tend to touch on raw issues.
