I really enjoy preaching movie sermons; I see so many movies communicating deeper truths, pointing us to Jesus, so in that way they can be seen as modern day parables...if we have ears to hear.
I also believe it's important to preach these sort of sermons from time to time because it inadvertantly teaches us to discern what is true and what isn't - to begin to discern what we see and hear and experience in life through a biblical lens. To learn how to critique culture, and not to just take everything the world feeds us as truth.
Besides, it's also fun to redeem the stuff hollywood gives us, and invite God to the power of story to advance His Kingdom purposes within our hearts.
Ratatouille is one of those movies.
One of the reasons I chose this one is because it fit so well with our Galatians series, especially Paul's manifesto statement depicting the beauty of the Gospel: "There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Gal.3:28). The glorious freedom, that no matter who you are, the color of your fir, whether you come from the sewers, slums, or swank, because of Jesus we all stand on level ground at the foot of the cross.
The sermon contains bits of the movie so you'll get the gist of the story, so whether you've seen the movie or not, I hope you have a listen.
One final thing. I want to give credit to the pastor who's been teaching me how to preach movie sermons - I consider him to be the master. So thanks to John van Sloten.
