The Greatest Showman Pastor Tim Lucas  August 5, 2018  

Lights, camera… action! Our summer message series At The Movies explores the truth behind Hollywood's biggest hits! From The Greatest 

Showman to I Can Only Imagine to Avengers: Infinity War, we’ll be screening clips and munching on free popcorn in church…  

Invite your family and friends! 

 The Greatest Showman is the story of P.T. Barnum and the 

menagerie of misfits he gathered to start his world-famous circus! 

Fill in the Blank Notes The Church is God’s circus-- Jesus’ family of broken misfits and beautiful people, each with 

sacred value. To be like Jesus, we must...  1) Start at the Margins.  Luke 5:12-13 While Jesus was in one of the 

towns, a man came along who was covered with 

leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell with his face to 

the ground and begged him, “Lord, if you are 

willing, you can make me clean.” 

Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. 

“I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” And 

immediately the leprosy left him. 

 

 

Charles Stratton (Tom Thumb), Annie Jordan (Bearded Woman), and Chang & Eng Bunker (Siamese Twins) were performers hand-picked 

by Barnum to star in his circus.  2) Embrace the Overlooked.  Luke 5:27-32 After this, Jesus went out and saw 

a tax collector by the name of Levi sitting at his tax 

booth. “Follow me,” Jesus said to him, and Levi got 

up, left everything and followed him. 

 

Then Levi held a great banquet for Jesus at his 

house, and a large crowd of tax collectors and 

others were eating with them. But the Pharisees 

and the teachers of the law who belonged to their 

sect complained to his disciples, “Why do you eat 

and drink with tax collectors and sinners?” 

 

Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who 

need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call 

the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” 

 

 

 3) Celebrate their Unique Beauty.     Matthew 5:16 Let your light shine before others, 

that they may see your good deeds and glorify your 

Father in heaven.

as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans 

and widows in their distress…
