  • The Gospel in Mayberry – the New Housekeeper Page 1 of 7 Rev
    The Gospel in Mayberry – The New Housekeeper Page 1 of 7 Rev. Mark Pitts, July 25, 2021 Williamson’s Chapel United Methodist Church The Gospel in Mayberry – The New Housekeeper 1 John 4:11 The Gospel in Mayberry – our sermon series for July. In June, it was The Gospel on Sesame Street, and beginning next week, for August, it will be The Gospel at Hogwarts. We are putting ‘our God eyes on,’ as Pastor Jan says, looking for God and preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ using creative illustrations. Andy Griffith grew up in a Christian home in Mt. Airy, North Carolina, and he originally studied to be in the ministry before changing his major to music. It is little wonder to find the church and Mayberry intertwined as Griffith patterned Mayberry after his own experiences growing up in the South. When George Lindsay, who played Goober in the series, was asked what he thought of the idea using the series for a Bible class, he replied, "One of the incredible things about every single episode is that Andy insisted each show have a moral point – something good, lofty, and moral. It's a shame current shows on TV don't adopt that high road." Show writer Bill Idelson once shared his opinion of why the series enjoyed success. "You know what the secret of the show is? You know why everybody loves it? It's about man's humanity to man rather than man's inhumanity to man. He's a sheriff, the police – the symbol of oppression, brutality, and ignorance throughout the world.
