FilmTalk Small Group Bible Study

Sermon Illustrations - FilmTalk Small Group Bible Studies

Different in form and function from our more formal Bible Studies, our FilmTalk Small Group Bible Study is created to help group leaders, parents or peers to stimulate informal after-film discussions.

Each FilmTalk Small Group Bible Study describes particular moments in the target movie to give the group a sense of context for the questions that follow. Most sections incorporate Scripture verses, so be sure to have your Bible handy! Each section of questions on the FilmTalk leads the group to examine how principles are played out in the film, and then challenges them to see the connection between the film, their faith, and their lives. Each FilmTalk Bible Study also contains MovieMinistry's Sermon General's Warning for the film. Learn More about FilmTalk - Small Group Bible Study.
