Fireproof

From the Creators of "Facing the Giants"

Following in the vein of Bill's "Marriage and Family" sermon series, check out this new movie trailer about marriage. This movie looks to be great, and was released in 839 theaters in the US on Sept 26, 2008. It was made by the creators of "Facing the Giants" and stars Kirk Cameron.

Read this brief summary of the film from Boundless Webzine.

Fireproof tells a gripping tale about fire captain Caleb Holt (Kirk Cameron) in a life-saving job who is hero to everyone but his wife, Catherine (Erin Bethea). On the job, he lives the fireman's motto - never leave your partner behind.

At home, it's a different story. Catherine, feeling the neglect of his distraction - fueled primarily by his online porn habit and desire to save enough overtime pay to buy a big, fast boat - wants a divorce. She's done, both emotionally and practically - she's in the beginning stages of having an affair with a handsome young doctor at the hospital where she works. Though letting his marriage fail would be a blow to his pride, Caleb's not sure it's worth fighting for.

Enter his parents. Especially his dad. This is where things veer from what you'd expect from the movies. Rather than agreeing with Caleb that the marriage is beyond redemption, he reveals that some years ago his own marriage to Caleb's mom had nearly collapsed. Speaking from painful experience, he challenges Caleb not to proceed with the divorce for just 40 days and promises to send him something in the mail. When it arrives, the "love dare" begins.

A Message to the Young Men, Part 1 and Part 2

New Sermon Posted 10.01.08

Bill's Sermon from Sept 21 (and part 2 from Sept 28) is now available on the web, as a download, and on our Podcast. The full sermon text is also posted and available for download.

Here's a sample:

Young men sin against the Lord because they are apt to follow their passions rather than exercise self-control. When I speak of passions, of course, this means that they follow their sexual libidos, but this also means that they are usually motivated by their own selfish desires.

Part 2 is also now available, see the links below:
