Church of the Rock in Winnipeg, led by pastor Mark Hughes, is known for its unique Easter sermons, interpreting the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord of Glory as Hollywood blockbusters, ranging from Monty Python and the Holy Grail to Toy Story, Star Wars, Tombstone, Indiana Jones, Robin Hood, Back to the Future, and Pirates of the Caribbean.
We last covered them after they crucified Iron Man on stage, then crucified Buzz Lightyear, and then crucified Simba. A straightforward exegesis and the proclamation of the good news of the resurrection as told by the scriptures is seemingly out of the question, and so the sermon features songs by Shania Twain, Journey, a rendition of The Devil went down to Georgia, and then God the Father represented as Superman ultimately saving the day.

I want the Joe Friday version....just the facts.
There were some Sunday School lessons published regarding “I Love Lucy” and “The Andy Griffith Show” some years ago. They were actually not unbiblical.
I’ve always thought “Devil went down to Georgia” missed the point of the Devil though.
