Three weeks ago, she received two Golden Raspberries,\u00a0awards for both the worst female lead of the year and the worst female part in a screen couple. Twenty-four hours later, she was awarded the Oscar for the\u201d best actress in a leading role\u201d for her performance in <em>The Blind Side.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/30th_Golden_Raspberry_Awards\">Golden Raspberry <\/a>award, first handed out in 1981, is a golf ball-sized depiction of a raspberry sitting on a film reel, spray-painted gold and worth $4.79. What started as an impromptu ceremony at the house of John Wilson is now covered by CNN and other major networks. While not everybody who was awarded a Golden Raspberry accepted it at the ceremony, Bullock showed her sense of humour by giving an acceptance speech and handing out copies of the worst movie of the year to the audience.<\/p>\n<p>A day later, Bullock, who had taken a break from acting a few years ago because she did not consider herself good at her job, held 8.5 pounds of gold-plated britannium in her hand. This statuette, the so-called Oscar, was proof that she was good at her job as an actress.<\/p>\n<p>Sandra Bullock became the first performer to receive both awards in the same year. While the Oscar will cement her position as one of the top-earning Hollywood screen stars, the \u201cRazzie\u201d might remind her of what it is like to be loved and hated at the same time for what you do.<\/p>\n<h3>Discussion Questions<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Do you follow the Oscars and other award shows? If so, do they influence your interest in seeing a movie?<\/li>\n<li>What types of movies do you like? Why?<\/li>\n<li>Who do you think should get an Oscar or a \u201cRazzie\u201d for a recent performance?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Scripture Texts (NRSV) for Sunday, March 28, 2010\u00a0 (Sunday of the Passion\/Palm Sunday)<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bible.oremus.org\/?ql=135926852 \">Isaiah 50:4-9a<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bible.oremus.org\/?ql=135926899 \">Philippians 2:5-11<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bible.oremus.org\/?ql=135926947 \">Luke 22:14-23:56<\/a><\/p>\n<p>(Text links are to <a href=\"http:\/\/bible.oremus.org\/\">Oremus Bible Browser<\/a>.

It is also full of events that bring Jesus\u2019 story to a close: the Last Supper, Simon Peter\u2019s denial of Christ, Judas\u2019 betrayal, Jesus\u2019 trial, a prophecy to the daughters of Jerusalem, the crucifixion, and the deeds of Joseph of Arimathea. Our text is a lens which focuses on the worst and the best in the life of Jesus and his followers.<\/p>\n<p>Take the disciples and their relationship to Jesus. First, they come together, eating and drinking as if they are a family. Their meal is the beginning of the Eucharist, when we remember Jesus\u2019 life and deeds, and taste his presence in our lives. But soon, the family is torn apart and the worst happens. One disciple betrays Jesus, another denies that he ever knew him. And then, Joseph of Arimathea, who had never even been a disciple of Jesus, risks his life to provide Jesus with a proper funeral. The worst and the best behavior, all within a few hours.<\/p>\n<p>Or take Jesus himself. He has so much to say in our text.\u00a0 His emotions include loving care of those around him, utter despair, and absolute trust in God\u2019s love. Jesus himself experiences the worst and the best of all emotions, and again, all within a few hours.<\/p>\n<p>The journey of Jesus Christ and his disciples which we witness in today\u2019s reading is not a straight and even path. On the contrary, it is full of ups and downs, extreme events and extreme emotions.<\/p>\n<p>Guess what? Anyone who tells you that your faith journey will be a straight and even path is wrong!\u00a0 All\u00a0Christians go through ups and downs in their faith. There are times when we are certain of God\u2019s presence in our lives. There are times when we truly feel and taste that Jesus Christ is present among us as we eat of his bread and drink of his wine. There are times when we look into the waters of baptism and have the feeling that God looks back at us. But there are other times as well. Times when we question God\u2019s presence in our lives, when we doubt, when we even fear that we have lost our faith and might never find it again.<\/p>\n<p>Faith doesn\u2019t start at one point and grow continually after that. It gets stronger and it gets weaker.\u00a0 It might disappear and then be reawakened within us with even greater strength. But there is one thing to remember. The ups and downs in our faith journey have to do with us, not with God. We believe that God\u2019s love for us is a steady stream, something that does not grow or lessen depending on how we behave and feel.\u00a0 Ups and downs in our faith life are normal and human. Sometimes the way is very clear and sometimes we are not so sure what God desires of us.\u00a0 This is one of the reasons why Jesus could, on the one hand, pray that God would take this cup from him (Luke 22:42) and on the other hand trust his life into Gods hands (Luke 23:46). And it is one of the reasons why Simon Peter, who\u00a0denied ever knowing Jesus, became once again a proud believer and a founder of the Christian community.\u00a0 But at whatever point on the faith-scale we are, we can trust that God\u2019s loving attention is ever upon us.<\/p>\n<h3>Discussion Questions<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>What has been the absolute lowest point on your faith journey? What was the high point?<\/li>\n<li>How do you think the faith journey changes as one gets older? Does it get easier to believe? Does it get harder?<\/li>\n<li>Are there things which your family or your congregation can do to support you when your faith drops to a low point?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Activity Suggestions<\/h3>\n<h4>Meet the Text Word-by-Word<\/h4>\n<p>Assign each person in your group a role in the gospel narrative. Have print-outs of the entire text and markers of different colors ready. Give individuals and groups of speakers time to read and mark up the entire text. You need the following speakers: a narrator, Jesus, Simon Peter, the disciples, a maid, a man at the fire, the men who mocked Jesus, the elders, Pilate, the soldiers at the cross, the criminal at the cross.\u00a0 Then, have your group read the entire passage out loud.<\/p>\n<p>Afterwards, discuss what they found out about the different characters as they spoke the words. What did the characters feel and think as they witnessed the last hours in the life of Christ? What did Jesus feel and think? What changes in the behaviour of the main characters occurred?<\/p>\n<h4>Faith Map<\/h4>\n<p>Ask your students to draw a faith map of their faith journey, marking important dates or events in their lives. Provide large sheets of paper, different pens, images, scrap-book materials, glue, etc. Give your students ample time to do this creative exercise and ask volunteers to share their faith maps with the group. Perhaps you can display the faith maps somewhere in your church.<\/p>\n<h4>Following One Disciple\u2019s Up-and-Down Faith Journey: Simon Peter<\/h4>\n<p>Ask your students to research the life of Simon Peter as it is portrayed in the New Testament and in Christian art. Provide them with a few key scripture texts about Simon Peter to look up, along with art work reflecting his life. (For art work about Simon Peter go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.textweek.com\/\">www.textweek.com<\/a>, \u201cPeter\u201d)\u00a0 Similarly to the exercise above, ask your students to develop a faith map of Peter\u2019s life which you can display in your church.<\/p>\n<p>Some Scripture texts about Simon Peter: Mat 14:28-31, Mat 16:13-20, Mark 1:16-17, Mark 1:29-31, Luke 5:4-11, Luke 24:1-12, John 1:44, John 13:2-11, John 20:1-9, John 21:15-17, Acts 4:7-22, Acts 9:32-10:2, Galatians 2:11-14. You might also use this exercise to explain to your students how to use a\u00a0 concordance\u00a0 to look up biblical phrases or names. If your group is large enough, they might be able to look up all occurrences of the name Simon Peter in a concordance.<\/p>\n<h3>Closing Prayer<\/h3>\n<p>Faithful God, \u00a0we experience highs and lows in our faith, ups and downs, times of certainty and times of doubt. We pray that you meet us on our faith journey in whatever corner we might be hiding. We pray that you pick us up and show us the way when we fall. And we pray that you show us people with whom we might share our faith, if we happen to have an overabundance of it. Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contributed by Claudia Bergmann, Erfurt, Germany Warm-up Question What was the worst day of your life?\u00a0 the best?
