Star Wars

Strangers in a Strange Land

If The Force Awakens is criticized for anything, it’s for being too similar to the older Star Wars films. But we’re living in an age of nostalgia. Perhaps because our world is in such turmoil, we crave the familiar stability of old stories. So too, when Peter is helping suffering Christians understand God’s call, he frames their stories in the larger story of what God has been doing since the beginning. How can knowing the whole story of God help us thrive today?

During this series, we’ve been exploring the three temptations using Dostoyevsky’s “The Grand Inquisitor”.

This Sunday, we’re going to switch things up. I’m going to share some of my own fiction that I’ve used to reflect on the nature of Jesus third test.

What did it mean that Satan told Jesus to worship him? How could Satan offer up the kingdoms of the world?

Questions to consider… until we gather on Sunday. See you then!

 

Join us Sunday as we explore what it takes to rule the world – and why we should fail that test.
