Wall-E

Strangers in a Strange Land

Much sci-fi is about the promise of a pain-free life. But Wall-E points out that a pain-free life might not actually lead to our flourishing. Peter opens his letter to suffering Christians by reframing how they understand the pain they’re experiencing. He invites them to see their pain as an invitation into Jesus’ crucifixion. He illustrates how God works through pain to make us whole.

From Series: "Strangers in a Strange Land"

Great Science Fiction offers visions of a utopian future where humans have achieved peace and prosperity through progress. But Jesus' resurrection challenges the assumption that humans can save ourselves. In this series, we'll examine some of the most famous sci-fi visions of the future against the image of the Church we find in 1 Peter and see how the Spirit at work in us is the true hope of the world.

Ask most people if God speaks to them and they’ll wonder if you’re crazy. Most people think God only speaks to the very religious or the not-quite sane. But what if God is speaking to everyone? What if – because Jesus has come – God’s voice is all around us, in our every day lives? How can we hear God’s voice? What does God sound like? What is God saying? In this series, we’ll learn how to hear the God who is speaking to all of us.
