January 29, 2023 Sacred Frames - Magnolia
In this week's installment of Sacred Frames, our dear friend Greg Garrett,
who is a gifted author, professor, and speaker, brings us a message about
the forgiveness of God through the lens of the movie Magnolia.
Garrett describes Magnolia as a beautiful, hard, and true film that in its
second act leaves you feeling like you are at the bottom of the ocean and
will never know light or warmth again. But then God moves, and grace flows
and we see as God sees, with a sympathy for the brokenness which enters
into every human life. We see God makes the showers to fall upon the just
and the unjust, and we discover how God is right there with us as we try to
live into the toughest parts of being human.

Pastor Mike continues our series Sacred Frames exploring the intersection

Arrival. The themes of relationships and pain throughout the film give us
insight on how we relate to each other in relationships. How even in pain
we trust that when we walk together, united even in all of our messy
difference, the Holy Spirit will show us what we’re meant to see, what
we’re meant to receive, what we’re meant to give.
