What if everything you've done to earn God's love has only kept you from receiving it?
Saving Private Ryan is more than a war movie. It's one of the most brutally honest pictures of sacrifice, mission, and grace ever put on film. And Pastor Jim Burgen uses it to answer a question most of us are afraid to ask: what if you're not the hero of your own story?
In this message from Flatirons Church's At the Movies series, Jim walks through three things the film exposes about our relationship with God: what it means to live on mission, the real cost of sacrifice, and the difference between grace and constantly trying to earn your worth.
If your faith feels shaky, your life has gone sideways, or you're trusting God in hard times this message speaks directly to where you are. Because the redemption story God has for you isn't waiting on your performance. Jesus' teachings make one thing clear: the rescue has already happened.
Your only job is to receive it.
