He Lives in You: The Lion King
The Lion King is a fun movie for me. It came out just weeks after Paul and I started dating. His first gift to me was the soundtrack. We have since seen Lion King: The Musical three times--it's amazing. The song "He Lives in You" (only in the musical, not movie) captured me. Here is a YouTube video of the song, mixed with scenes from the movie. I listen to the musical's soundtrack now and then, and several years ago, I realized that song would be great for a sermon. (Note: this realization came long before I realized I was going to be a pastor for real.) For Mother's Day, I did pulpit supply at a few small churches, and re-worked a sermon I did on Isaiah 43, using an illustration from Disney's Toy Story about the exile. A few weeks ago, I got asked to do pulpit supply for Father's Day, and I kind of thought, "Well maybe it's time to put that Lion King sermon together."
