What virtues and vices lie at the center of Cars? Is this a good movie for teaching? How does it compare to other Pixar movies and other movies in general?

This week we begin a short series on how dads can approach the Lord's Day and lead their families through the most important thing we do. We begin by examining what happens each week as the church gathers. Is the service something we give to God or something we receive from him? How is God's presence unique? What patterns does the Bible offer for us to give structure to our weekly gathering and lead our families through it?
