Week 2 of “At the Movies” uses the tornado-chasing film “Twisters” as a parable of courage: Kate’s literal storms mirror the emotional, relational, and spiritual storms we all encounter.
Big idea: God never promised a storm-free life, but He does promise His presence and victory as we face our fears, heal from our past, and move forward in faith.
Jesus warned that trouble is unavoidable, yet He remains with us and has overcome every storm; our calling is not to run from danger but to walk into it with purpose.
Scripture shows three clear moves: confront fear head-on, let God heal old wounds, and trust Him enough to step forward even while afraid.
The message ends with a call to personal decision–both for believers needing fresh courage and for those ready to give their lives to Christ.
Guest speaker Jonathan “JP” Pokluda continues Lake Pointe’s Acts series, “There Is More: Endgame,” walking through Paul’s harrowing voyage in Acts 27.
From a prisoner’s chains, Paul steadies 276 frightened people, proving that God – not weather, not authorities – holds the outcome.
The chapter carries three big lessons: stay calm by remembering who is in charge, realize storms reveal real faith, and do your part while trusting God for everything else.
