“Church Memes” is a website created by Christians who recognized the impression many individuals had of their community. They wanted to show society the humorous side of Christianity “because Christians can attempt to be funny too” (“Church Memes,” 2014). As a result, they created Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook pages to further their outreach. Their memes, like the picture above, include inside jokes that represent the stereotypical church that can be understood by both insiders and outsiders.

Come At Me Bro

Submitted by Kristen Trapnell on Mon, 12/01/2014 - 21:13

This meme focuses on the Christian belief that it is more valuable to restrain the desire to fight one another and turn the other cheek rather than engage in a brawl or fight with words. This meme is an example of the hyper-modernization of Biblical scripture that the Story Time Jesus memes employ.

Paralyzed - Embrace Me Bro!

Submitted by Kristen Trapnell on Mon, 12/01/2014 - 17:21

This meme portrays the light-hearted and playful humor employed by the Story Time Jesus memes. This meme shows the juxtaposition of how the Biblical parable tells Jesus’ miracle of healing and how Jesus retells the same parable to the gatherers in this meme. It hints at a shifting authority of Jesus Christ becoming more similar, more relatable, and more accessible to His followers.

Yo Abraham...

Submitted by Kristen Trapnell on Mon, 12/01/2014 - 17:01

This meme shares aspects from the Bible, Christianity’s main text. Individuals who are not familiar with Bible, particularly stories from the Old Testament, may not understand the references to Abraham being asked to sacrifice his son. There are some similarly specific references that require basic knowledge of the Biblical narratives but not all the Story Time Jesus memes require prior knowledge to that extent.

Story Time Jesus

Story Time Jesus memes feature an image of Lars Justinen’s painting, The Parable, which shows a diverse group of people gathered around Jesus Christ as He explains various concepts about creation, life, death, and other Biblical parables. The twelve-meme sample was taken from the website knowyourmeme.com.
