Not my thing. I’d rather just read the Bible. I don’t care if others watch it; that’s up to them. If it leads some to read the actual Bible and come to know Jesus through his actual word, that’s fine. If for others their whole knowledge about Jesus and the Gospel is from a TV series, that’s sad.

When my two sons were little guys, I was on the floor with them in their bedroom, reading a children’s picture bible to them. I don’t recall what alarmed me, but I said to myself, “That is NOT what the Bible says!”
When we were through, I went and compared the picture Bible to my Bible. After reading the account, I realized that may very well be what the Bible is saying: I just never interpreted one sentence that way.
Sermons can do the same thing. Listening to someone recounting incidents from scripture may cause you to see things in a way you never saw them before.
That happened to me yesterday. The pastor was telling the story of John Mark, his uncle Barnabus and the apostle Paul. I came to see this account in a very different light than I had ever seen it before.
Because we have read Bible accounts many times, we can tend to misinterpret them because that’s what we thought the previous times we read it.
