The Passion of The Christ movie is an unprecedented outreach opportunity for your church and small group. This small group study allows everyone, from seekers to mature believers, to discuss their thoughts and feelings about the film, and to find answers to their questions. This 3 week video-based study is built on the Purpose Driven model, and features video teaching by Pastors Lance Witt and Tom Holladay, with an introductory video message by Pastor Rick Warren.
Session 1. Pastor Lance Witt revisits some of the characters we met in the film: Caiaphas, Pilate, Simon, the thieves, and the soldiers. As we look at their responses to their encounters with Jesus, we come away with a better understanding of our own responses to him; Session 2. Pastor Tom Holladay teaches a biblical study of the crucifixion, the blood of Christ, and what his death accomplished for us; Session 3. Pastor Lance Witt picks up where the movie leaves off – with the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Through the eyes of Mary Magdalene, we discover the hope, the purpose, and power of the resurrection, and how we should live in light of its truth.
