In an effort to help you reinforce the themes and messages of Thr3e, we have chosen clips from the film that you can show to your group. These clips can be downloaded online at www.foxfaith.com or shown through a specially made DVD that you can request at the same website. These DVD clips are followed up with questions and scripture found in the Discussion Guide. The questions should draw your group members into a conversation about what they have just seen. It is not necessary to tackle these topics in a row or all in one session. If you would prefer just to cover one or two, feel free. It is all up to you.

First of all, introduce the discussion by saying something like this: “We’re going to talk about several topics that relate to the conflict between good and evil, the consequences of yielding to sin, and the importance of confession to God. We have some scenes from the movie Thr3e that we are going to watch and then analyze to see what we can learn from them.” Next, give a brief overview of the film. Then, play the clip you have selected. Once the clip plays, then open the floor for discussion using the questions and scriptures that are provided or use some of your own. To finish, you can close each session by giving the brief “Lesson to Learn” provided at the end of the topic.

NOTE Since some of your group members have likely not seen the film, it is a good idea to provide them with the context of the clip before watching it. This can be found in the italicized text that precedes the questions and scripture references for that particular clip.

Please keep in mind that you do not have to get through all the clips in order to have a successful discussion. Also, you do not need to sacrifice a good conversation to finish the scenes. As we mentioned above, discussion times go best when you allow freedom, but still provide the framework that will point to lessons in God’s word.

DARKNESS VERSUS LIGHT

Clip: Seminary Classroom
Throughout Thr3e there is a conflict between good and evil embodied in the character of Kevin Parson. In this scene, the seminary professor indicates that the struggle between light and darkness in humanity is ongoing, beginning with the Fall of Man.

Questions

The Fall of Man occurred in the Garden of Eden. Read Genesis 2:15-17 & 3:1-5. What strategy did Satan use to entice Eve to disregard God’s rules regarding the garden? Give an example of how Satan employs the same tactics today. When Adam and Eve ate the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, what were the immediate consequences of their disobedience? Read Genesis 3:6-10. How did their guilt affect their relationship with God? Is the same true today when we sin? Discuss. Once their disobedience was revealed, how did Adam and Eve try to justify their actions? Read Genesis 3:11-13. Give examples from history or current events where individuals explain their sin in the same manner.
