This Journey through Lent could change your life!
You’re invited (and encouraged) to watch the 8 episode television drama called “The Chosen”. It’s a television drama based on the life of Jesus; the richly detailed scenes and gifted actors bring to life key moments like Jesus’ first miracle at a wedding, the calling of his disciples, healing the sick, preaching about the kingdom of God, performing miracles, teaching the Lord’s Prayer, encounters with Jewish religious leaders and sharing in a Passover meal. If you’ve read and cherished the stories about Jesus for many years now, or if you’re just beginning to learn and explore who Jesus is and why He matters, you’ll likely be amazed by this series. It has been received high praise from many viewers. There are two options for how you can watch each week’s episode. Episode 1 can be viewed on Wednesday, February 23rd at 7 pm in the Ballston Spa UMC sanctuary. There will be 15 to 20 minutes afterwards for sharing and questions, facilitated by Pastor Kelly. The second option is to watch each episode on UTube from the comforts of your own home. (You may want to forward through the initial section hosted by the creators of the series.) If anyone is viewing from home, you’re invited to gather after worship in the coffee hour space and share your thoughts. In case you’re wondering when this series warps up, it will be during Holy Week. After watching this dramatic re-enacted of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, you may find that Easter is more impactful for you, than ever before. Here are some suggested Scriptures to read before watching Episode 1: “I Have Called You by Name”: Isaiah 43:1-3, Luke 8:1-15, Mark 16:1-13, and Luke 11:14-20. Comments are closed.
