Strong suggestion For each of the groups of
questions, keep the questions together and ask
them as though they are one question with many
parts. Also just assume that a yes/no question
should be followed by some questions such as how
and why in order to spark discussion.
1) Consider the power of a name. How can names be
important? Where have you seen instances in
Middle Earth that suggests the power of names? In
the New Testament what kind of effect did Jesus
name have on demons? (Answer help Smeagols
goodness awakens at the sound of his name.
Aragorn gives his name away to people as if it is
a pass code in order to give comfort to people.
The very sound of Jesus name to demons drove
them away numerous times in the New
Testament.) Bible Passage Acts 1618, Mark 1617,
Mark 938-39. What is going on in all of these
passages? 2) Can you think of a friend that has
repeatedly helped you stay out of trouble like
Sam who repeatedly keeps Frodo from putting the
ring on in the presence of the Nazgul? What did
this friend do for you to help you out? Have you
ever served as the role of Sam for a friend of
yours? What was that like for you helping
another? 3) Stop movie when Aragorn, Gimli, and
Legolas meet up with the White Wizard and
realize it is no one other than Gandalf in a new
form. We see Gandalf in his resurrected form in
the Forest of Fangorn. Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas
seem to be blinded and mesmerized by the light
coming from the White Wizard before they
realize who it is. You could make the argument
that Gandalf is resurrected, but what do you know
about the transfiguration story of Jesus? How is
seeing Gandalf similar to reading the story about
Jesus and the disciples on the mountain
top? Bible Passage Matthew 171-8 Resume movie.

4) Treebeard and the hobbits, Merry and Pippin,
seem to be forming a bond of trust for one
another at least for Treebeard once Gandalf
confirms for him that Merry and Pippin are indeed
not little orcs. Treebeard also provides Merry
and Pippin with a trustworthy and safe
environment from the rest of the forest, which is
slowly being disrupted from sleep. If you had to
think of someone, is there anyone in your life in
which you can put complete trust in and feel safe
with? 5) Stop the movie after we see Theoden
return to his normal self with the help of
Gandalf. When the remainder of the Fellowship
enters the Golden Hall of Rohan to visit King
Theoden, Gandalf helps the king come back to
reason. What do we see as being wrong with King
Theoden? What ails him? (Answer help He is
overcome with despair and hopelessness lies from
Sauroman transmitted through Grima.) Resume
movie. 6) Stop movie after Theoden delivers his
line about burying his child. After Theoden
buries his son we see Gandalf and Theoden
lamenting in the field. Theoden says No parent
should have to bury their child. How do you
think God felt when Jesus, his only begotten son,
died on the cross, and he lost his only son to
the cross and burial? I want you to specifically
focus on the feelings God might have had at three
in the afternoon when Jesus breathed his last
breath. Bible Passage Luke 2344-47 Resume movie
and continue until the said stopping point above.
