Jesus Revolution(2023)

This film is suggested for ages 13+ and may contain mild thematic content. Biblical themes explored include {"reference":"Acts 2:17-18","theme":"Pentecostal outpouring","description":"Joel's prophecy of the Spirit poured out on sons and daughters — quoted by Peter at Pentecost — structures the revival the film depicts: an unexpected movement of the Spirit outside denominational control, reaching the culturally marginal."}, {"reference":"Acts 10:28","theme":"No one is unclean","description":"Chuck Smith's welcome of hippies into Calvary Chapel over his congregation's objections enacts the Peter-Cornelius logic: the Spirit has already moved, and the institution must follow rather than lead, recognizing what God has already cleansed."}, {"reference":"Matthew 4:18-22","theme":"The discipleship call","description":"Greg Laurie's conversion follows the Gospel pattern of the simple, direct call: an encounter with someone who embodies what is being offered, a decision, a leaving behind of the previous life, an immediate joining of the movement."}, {"reference":"Luke 15:2","theme":"Receiving sinners","description":"The deacons' objections to barefoot hippies walking on church carpet re-enacts the Pharisees' complaint about Jesus receiving sinners. Smith's welcome enacts Jesus's response: the lost sheep, the lost coin, the prodigal — all are worth seeking regardless of their condition."}. We recommend parents review content before watching with younger children.
