The other day I was working out at Planet Fitness and while riding the stationary bike I was watching and listening to a video of Michael Frost at Dallas Theological Seminary. In the video Frost was talking about an idea that really struck a chord with me. He likened the role of church and each Christ follower as being a trailer to a movie. He said Imagine that the Kingdom coming in its fullest is the greatest blockbuster of all time, than what we get to do is point to the "movie" with our lives. We become the trailer that points to a great reality. He said that when you go to the theater and they play previews you watch people after each one lean over to the person they are with and say, "That looks good. Do you want to see that one?" Our lives (both as individuals and as a community) need to be lived in such a way (being people of love, peace, grace, mercy, justice, compassion, etc..) that people will want to see the movie of the Kingdom coming in its fullness.

Here is a video that I found of Frost talking about the Church as Movie Trailer...
