What Does It Mean to Be Chosen?
Being chosen by Jesus has beautiful and far-reaching implications—although it says even more about the Chooser than the choosees. We are loved because He is love. We are saved because He is merciful. We belong to the family of God because Jesus invites us, making the Bible and all its promises as true for us today as it was for God’s chosen people.
Based on the most successful crowdfunded TV series of all time.
The Chosen is the first multi-season series about the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is widely considered the most successful crowdfunded TV series of all time.
While not a substitute for Scripture, this drama is biblically inspired and written to draw people to faith in Christ as they discover who Jesus is and the Gospel he conveyed.
Creator Dallas Jenkins is passionate about ensuring the scripts are biblically plausible based on historical and Scriptural context – with some artistic imagination sprinkled in. He utilizes biblical consultants amongst different denominations to analyze each episode’s script before filming.
For an inside look into the motivation behind the show, check out this Bible Roundtable, where a Catholic priest, messianic Jewish rabbi, and Evangelical Bible professor discuss episode one with Dallas.
Here’s Our Plan
We’re going to keep it simple!
Watch an episode (in the comfort of your own home)
Use the study guide to gain additional context
Meet to discuss, share, and let the Spirit lead us where He will.
The beauty of this “study” is that you could work through the entire thing individually. So, while it would be awesome to fellowship with one another when you inevitably aren’t able to join in person, you aren’t behind! Just keep watching and reading at your own pace.
We plan to meet at the church for our first meet-up to discuss episode 1 on Monday, October 9th, at 6 p.m. All are welcome to join. Bring a friend while you’re at it! Be sure to order your book and watch episode one before our meeting.
