"Have any of the 24 episodes been referenced in any of your Pastor's sermons?"

Yes, in fact we are thinking of having a Saturday "24" marathon, pizza party with sitters for the kids. Sort of a modern day "messiah" Jack Bauer parable.

You might be interested in this. I'm teaching two courses in Revelation and using the movies "1984", "Farenheit 451", "Clockwork Orange", "Soylent Green" and "Escape From New York" to demonstrate how the world looks at itself without a restraining person (The Holy Spirit or the Church) during the tribulation period. They wanted one of the "Left Behind" movies but I told them it had too much hope and not a really good plot line. They needed to experience what the world without hope would be like as the world sees it.

They might find the following account of *a the world without hope* [or nearly so] to be of interest, though it's not a motion picture. Yet.
