Movie Method


Here's one more way to look at the Bible!

It's called the MOVIE METHOD!

Here's what you do: JUMP into the Scripture you are reading. ACT as if you are one of the CHARACTERS on the MOVIE SET...

When you read the passage, let yourself:

  • SEE what they SEE (if they are by a mountain or a lake; write that down in your prayer journal...describe every detail).

  • HEAR what they HERE (Did someone shout? Describe how loud it was, etc).

  • TASTE what they TASTE (if they are eating fish and bread, write down in your prayer journal what that taste like)
  • FEEL what they FEEL ( are they on a boat in a storm? Write down and describe what the water feels like, the wind, the boat rocking, etc. What are the people's emotions? What are your emotions while being scared on a boat in a huge storm? Describe it...get involved in the MOVIE SCENE).
WRITE DOWN everything...what did Jesus look like? What did the dirt of the road feel like? Was it dark outside? Windy? What did you think about when you saw the miracle?

Let the Bible passage be like a MOVIE SCENE and you are one of the ACTORS...really get involved in the story...
