Good Friday Zoom video party - The Jesus Film Project

We'll have an introduction time before the movie, followed by a prayer time at the end.

Jesus (also known as The Jesus Film Project) is a 1979 biblical drama film directed by Peter Sykes and John Krish, and produced by John Heyman. Jesus is described as the most-watched motion picture of all time, in addition to being the most translated film of all time.

Shot on location in Israel, the film was financed primarily by Campus Crusade for Christ and was released without production or cast credits, as producer John Heyman declared that the creators of this picture were “simply being translators” of the New Testament's Gospel of Luke, “so nobody will know who produced or directed the film.” The end of the film states that the Good News Bible was used during filming, and instead of telling a parallel story or embellishing the biblical account like other biblical films, the filmmakers chose to adhere to the Gospel of Luke as closely as possible.

Theology for Breakfast with Crosslands

Tomorrow we'll continue our series of meetings: Theology for Breakfast! 

Due to the new COVID restrictions for public meetings, we'll meet online through the video conferencing app ZOOM.

We'll interact with Crosslands module: Gospel Relationships. With Stefano we'll conclude Unit 1. Introversion & Extraversion.

 

Relationships are fundamental to our identity, yet they are fraught with difficulty, fear, conflict and uncertainty. Coming to Christ puts us automatically into relationship with a community of his people. The gospel enables relationships to fulfil their purpose and design. The gospel transforms all our relationships. It resolves conflict, and gives new purpose to friendships, parenting and marriages. Together we'll discover how we can be freed to serve and love others with gospel intentionality.

 

Usually, following Luther's Table Talks example, we'll have met @ Central Café in Mezzolara where, while enjoying a traditional breakfast with capuccino & croissant, we'll have engaged with God's Word discovering the beauty of theology in our everyday life!
In this moment to support our local economy, we've decided to order from local cafés our breakfasts delivered at home! This is a simple and practical way to keep blessing our beautiful community in Budrio!
