Notes from week 1 of "Let's Go To The Movies!"
Our Movie John Q. Archibald staring Academy Award winner Denzel Washington.
John Q. is a drama about the extraordinary chance one father takes to protect his son, becoming both an unlikely hero and a criminal in the eyes of the law.
Movie Quotes: “I am not going to bury my son! My son is going to bury me!” “It’s the only way…” “He needs a donor. Somebody has to die for him to live. I’m his father…it’s me”.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 (KJV)
16 "This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. 17 God didn't go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. 18 Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person's failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him. John 3:16-18 (MSG)
It is a great representation of God’s love for us.
1. The Father’s passion for the world. “God so loved the world…”
“God showed how much He loved us by sending His only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through Him. This is real love. He sent His Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.” 1 John 4
2. The Father’s present to the world. “…that He gave His only begotten Son…”
“All have sinned…”
“The wages of sin is death.”
3. The Father’s proposal to the world. “…that whosoever believes in Him …”
“The free gift of eternal salvation is offered to everyone. One’s nationality or race or education or social position is unimportant. Such things mean nothing. Whether a person has Christ is what matters and He is equally available to all.” Titus 2,
The word “believe” in Greek is “pisteuo” which means, “to trust in, cling to, rely on, and commit to.”
4. The Father’s promise to the world. “…should not perish but have ever lasting life.”
All of God’s children are guaranteed heaven. The problem is everybody is not in God’s family. We need to understand the distinction. Everybody is created by God but not everybody is a child of God. Only those who choose and say, “God, I want to be in your family” are actually in his family.

The assurance of knowing that you are in Gods family is to:
Admit that God has NOT been first place in your life & ask Him to forgive your sins.
Believe that Jesus Died on the Cross to pay the price for our sins and rose on Easter morning!
Accept God’s FREE gift of salvation & don’t try to earn it.
Ask Jesus to come into your life and be your personal Lord and Savior.
