A Christian website for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader was recently launched to support pastors who want to preach on important themes found in the third movie installment of the Narnia series.
NarniaFaith.com provides church pastors with sermon outlines, youth study resources, and even lets them sign up for movie screenings in their area.
Grace Hill Media, which is taking charge of the movie’s publicity to faith audiences, said the response to the website and screening for pastors have been “robust” and “very enthusiastic.”
Preaching on the movie is an opportunity “to deepen the church’s understanding of temptation, grace, forgiveness and transformation all through the prism of C.S. Lewis’ vivid and deeply theological imagery,” says Dr. Richard Mouw, president of Fuller Theological Seminary, in a video endorsement on the site.
The sermon outlines are written by megachurch pastors Ken Foreman, senior pastor of Cathedral of Faith; Jim Burgen, senior pastor of Flatirons Community Church; and Christian leaders like evangelist Luis Palau and filmmaker Dr. Phil Cooke of Cooke Pictures.
Due out in theaters on Dec. 10, Dawn Treader is the first Narnia production under 20th Century Fox and Walden Media. In 2008, Walt Disney Pictures pulled out of doing a third film based on C.S. Lewis’ popular novel series after the second movie Prince Caspian brought in less than stellar results than The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
