Halloween with Paul McDonald and Britt Mooney

Paul McDonald and Britt Mooney talk about the classic slasher film Halloween starring Jamie Lee Curtis. Evil exists, and will always target horny teenagers. As followers of Jesus, we are targets of Satan’s fierce hatred, and doing God’s will puts us in the crosshairs. Our only hope is to stay close to God, humbly submitting to His plan, even when it looks all wrong. Don’t throw away your knife, and let’s explore God’s truth in this movie.

Questions

• What if evil existed?
• What if what you think is crazy is actually the truth?
• What if evil spirits were around the world, tormenting humans and thwarting the kingdom of God? Spirits of fear, anger, isolation?
• What is the work of God? How has Satan tried to thwart that in your life? What trauma, wounds, pain, and loss have you experienced?
• Where do you feel angry at God for the evil that occurs? Be honest, and be specific.
• When you look at the world, what makes you the most upset? What injustice or harm causes the most emotional response? How does that reflect God’s heart?
• How do you think the perfect world can be achieved?
• How have you been tempted to achieve a desired good in a wrong way?
• How have you doubted the heart of God?
• Where have you felt, “If God really loved me, this thing would or would not have happened?”
• How often do you ask God to interpret what’s going on? If you haven’t, when the enemy attacks, pause and take a moment to ask God for His wisdom and His interpretation, and He will unmask the enemy.
• Where are you tempted to give up?
