In a few centuries, the visceral image has been used to image a wide array of our fears… and, possibly, human realities.
Perhaps most poignantly, vampirism has an obvious correlation to the sin nature. Now-classic Anne Rice models Louis and Lestat—one torn between conscience and desire with no way to remedy his condition, the other “given over” to his lusts and depravity—are nothing new. Trapped under a curse that literally brings blood, death, and pain to the world, it’s easy to springboard from the vampire symbolism to the need for a real Savior. The Christian iconic imagery associated with the myth, though often leeched from the legend in the last century, is yet another indelible mark of who really holds power and dominion over evil. It’s obvious, then, that the Christian community should have a stake in vampire flicks, and is part of why we’re engaging the film adaption of the popular book series “Twilight”.
While this newest stab at the vampire mythos may sparkle more than smolder, and have more to do with ogling washboard abs than draining vital fluids, it’s an interesting way to look at how these made-up monsters, this fictional affliction, has evolved and been co-opted since its origin in religious and repressed roots. With Twilight, True Blood, The Vampire Diaries and a wealth of other fanged fiction pouring out in multimedia, it’s a good time to examine what this reflects about us: why drinking blood, fighting urges and enjoying immortality keep spilling out into our narrative and making people see red. With the sequel, New Moon, swooping into theaters this November, it’s a good time to get your fingers on the pulse of this franchise.2009-09-06September 06, 20093339twilightPastor James Harleman takes a look at the film "Twilight" as well as the mythos surrounding vampires over the past several years.42I was on the Mars Hill Church website and I found some content that I thought you might be interested in: <a href="http://www.marshillchurch.org/media/cinemagogue/twilight">Film & Theology: Twilight</a>.http://cdn.marshillchurch.org/media/2009/09/06/20090906_twilight_poster_image.jpghttp://cdn.marshillchurch.org/media/2009/09/06/20090906_twilight_medium_image.jpghttp://cdn.marshillchurch.org/media/2009/09/06/20090906_twilight_thumbnail.jpghttp://cdn.marshillchurch.org/media/2009/09/06/20090906_twilight_audio.mp3Pastor James HarlemanTakenCinema is a modern day pulpit.

It is important for us to understand what faith is, what scripture says about it and what Jesus says about it. Many times we believe more in the realities of our problems than in the reality of our God, his character and his truth. In this session we will look at what the Bible says about unfaithfulness and faithfulness and will examine the connection between our worries and anxieties and our faith. 2009-03-07March 07, 20093783Hebrews 11:6faith-versus-worryHebrews 11:6 says that without faith it is impossible to please God.

In Luke 10:42, Jesus says that Mary has chosen the good portion in response to her sitting at his feet and listening to his teaching.
