As a part of our Reel to Real series, this sermon by Pierre Fulford unpacks how the movie Masters of the Universe unveils truths about Jesus in unexpected ways. Pierre highlights the importance of taking hold of God’s story to the point it becomes our story, transforming our lives from the inside out. 

In this sermon, Greg Boyd shows us how the movie Encanto reveals essential truths about God’s love, how we are to receive it and how we can participate in it. This wonderful story reveals how we are to live in love, as Christ loved us.

The Bible is largely comprised of stories. What role do stories play in our lives? How can stories change us? Why does God’s word to us come in the form of stories rather than propositions? These are questions that Dan Kent addresses in this sermon.

Greg Boyd concludes the series on Revelation by exploring the final words of the book’s epilogue. The main point is that Jesus is coming soon! Greg explains what this means and how we can respond to this announcement.

Dan Kent invites us to see the story of the Bible, summarizing five grand themes that begin in Genesis and are completed in Revelation. In this way, the book of Revelation calls us back to where we belong, even in the midst of a broken world that tries to pull us away.

Greg Boyd walks us through the vision of the river flowing through the holy city of God, showing us what it means to live as participants in the triune dance of God’s love. The fullness of the presence of God will occur at the end of time, but we can begin to live it now.

The concluding chapters of Revelation provide a vision of what it means to flourish. This vision is of a holy city, one that is built around the presence of God. There we discover the ultimate foundation of human flourishing, the meaning of all life. 

Dan Kent invites us to see three grand themes that are woven throughout Revelation and are brought together at the end of this grand book. These themes are the “two ways” pattern repeated throughout Scripture, the fact that the path of God is a person and that the destination of the path is communal.

This sermon by Greg Boyd focuses on the meaning of “The Lake of Fire.” Greg introduces the traditional meaning of eternal, conscious punishment, and then he expounds upon an alternative interpretation, one that is founded upon the reality that God is revealed in Jesus Christ on the cross.

In this teaching Greg Boyd explains the meaning of the 1,000 year reign of Christ, and shows us how this imagery is not a foretelling of future events, but instead instruction for how to live in the present, reigning with Christ in the midst of our everyday battles.
