Forgiveness Movie Night - October Baby

Posted by Amber Bruce |  Print This Post

As a way to help us understand and live out the character trait of forgiveness, we have chosen a movie suggestion and provided discussion questions for each of the 6 weeks of the Go: With God campaign. You can watch and discuss the movie with your friends, small group, or family as you seek to understand forgiveness, worship God for his forgiveness toward us, and become more forgiving of others.

This week’s movie night selection is October Baby. Recommended by the Dove Foundation for ages 12 and up, this movie is available for streaming on Netflix.

October Baby

October Baby is a 2011 American Christian-themed dramatic film directed by Andrew and Jon Erwin and starring Rachel Hendrix in her film debut. Wikipedia

Discussion Questions:

1. What does forgiveness mean?
2. Does forgiveness always result in a restored relationship?
3. Does forgiveness have limits?
4. How was Hannah changed by forgiveness?
5. If you were in Hannah’s place, do you think you would be able to forgive your birth mother?
6. How does the Gospel give us power to forgive in all situations?
7. Think about a person or situation that has hurt you. Share if you feel comfortable:
• Have you extended forgiveness in that situation?
• If so, share how forgiveness has changed you.
• If not, pray as a group for the grace to forgive.
