Note: This talk was done one week after watching Bruce Almighty at the
cinema. The talk took place in a dark field when we were camping out.
Stuff needed for talk
Chemical lights - mail me if you can't find some yourselves. I
bought 50 for £8.
Introduction
Last time we meet we went to see Bruce almighty
What did you think of it?
In this film, Bruce gets to meet God
Who would like to explain how that happened?
So he gets to meet God...
How did Bruce react?
He didn’t believe
What was God like?
What would you do if you came face to face with God?
Why do you think God wanted to meet Bruce at the warehouse?
To talk to him / help him
Personally, I think he wanted to teach him something / help him
He did that by giving him his powers...scary…
What would you do if you had God’s powers?
Bruce soon discovers that being God is a hard job…answering prayers etc.
If looking after us is such a hard job, why do you think God bothers with us?
God loves us
What’s to be our friend
He wants to help us
He wants us to look to him for help...to guide us though this life
The Bible puts it like this:
John 8:12 “I am the light of the world. The person who follows me will never live in
darkness but will have the light that gives life”
What do you think that means?
It kind of means that life is a little bit like trying to find your way on
a dark night…
You’ll struggle if you don’t have any light to see where you are going
[Wave your glo stick in the air - assuming it's dark!]
The Bible says that God (Jesus) is like a light
He will help us to find the path in the darkness…
That’s why we are called Pathfinders
I don’t know where you are in life…
Maybe you feel lost, in the dark, struggling to find your way in life
Wondering what life is about…
All I want to say to you tonight is that God wants to show you the way
To lighted up your life…
If that’s something you want all you need to do is let him…
Talk to him, pray, read the Bible, talk to us…
Whatever
If you do that, my experience is that God will help…
To finish, I’m going to give you a light…tonight…and it’s going to help
you find your way on our walk (we went for a long walk in the dark after the
talk)
