Not long ago, I found out about the group Geeks Under Grace. They cover movies, games, comics, and anything geeky from a Christian perspective. One of the best parts of their site is their free Bible Studies. They put out studies that cover many of the big movies that come out. Their latest is for Spider-Man: Far from Home, and other recent ones include Detective Pokemon, Avengers Endgame and Shazam!. They are easy to use, download the PDF and print it out, and you are good to go.
I’ve used a couple of them with my jr high guys small group, and they went over well. They are pretty lite, so they don’t take a lot of prep. And just because they are simple doesn’t mean they aren’t good. There’s always a great take away and scripture to back it up. They are laid out in an easy to use format. One thing I wish is there were clip suggestions to use from the movie for each point, but usually, you can figure it out if you wanted to. For films that aren’t out for home use yet, I recommend using the trailer to kick it off to serve as a reminder of the movie. It might go without saying, but the studies include spoilers, so if your group is sensitive to that these might not be right for you.
If you are looking to do a God at the Movies series or need something that will connect with your pop-culture-obsessed students, this could be an excellent solution for you.
