Life Lessons from Chaos to Harmony through Musicals
In our recent sermons, we explored the inspiring journey of Maria and Georg von Trapp from “The Sound of Music,” finding valuable lessons on resilience and grace. Next, we’ll delve into the transformation of Eliza Doolittle and Professor Henry Higgins from “My Fair Lady.”
You might wonder, why do we incorporate popular music into our worship?
The word “pop” comes from the Latin “popularis,” meaning “of the people.” Pop music, much like Broadway musicals, resonates widely because it reflects common human experiences and emotions. By using it in our church, we create a universal language that makes spiritual truths accessible.
Jesus spoke in ways that were accessible and relatable, using simple stories and parables to convey profound spiritual truths. He used characters and scenarios that resonated with everyday people, making His teachings easier to understand.
In the same spirit, we use popular music and familiar stories from Broadway to make profound truths relatable and engaging. By connecting spiritual lessons with real life of familiar characters, we can reflect on ours.
Join us as we explore the transformation of Eliza Doolittle and Professor Henry Higgins, and see how their story, along with insights from Jordan Peterson’s “12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos,” can inspire us to find order and meaning in our own lives.
