Amazing Grace Video (Aug 22)

18 09 2008

This week we watched the crtically acclaimed “Amazing Grace” which highlighted the life and times of William Wilberforce, a political activist and born again Christian in the late 18th century, who dedicated his life to abolishing the slave trade in the British Empire. It is a poignant film that emphasizes what it means to radically follow Christ in living out your faith in a broken world. The fellowship was given a handout as a follow up to the film to think about how the verse in James 2:14-18 applies to a certain scene in the movie. The scene is when Wilberforce was challenged that he could be live for God and be a politician at the same time. See below and feel free to post any comments you may have had after watching the film. I would challenge those who haven’t yet watched it, to go pick it up. It may start out slow.. but be patient – it has a great ending :)

*** The promised handout WILL be posted very soon once I figure out how to do that***
