In this powerful message from our At the Movies series, we dive into the inspiring true story of Trudy Ederle, the first woman to swim across the English Channel.
Through scenes from today’s film we explore what it means to be created in the image of God, male and female, equal in value and purpose. From Genesis to Proverbs 31 to the life of Jesus, Scripture paints a vivid picture of strong, wise, capable women who lead, love, and shape history.
But the journey toward equality hasn’t been easy, especially within faith communities. This sermon challenges us to see and celebrate the full worth of every person, no matter their gender, and to live out God’s truth that “Every person has equal and infinite value.”
Along the way, we’ll reflect on lessons about parenting adult children, forgiveness, perseverance, and the courage to follow God’s calling, no matter what others say can’t be done.
Get ready to be inspired, moved, and maybe even surprised by how God still uses ordinary people, like Trudy, like you, to change the world.
