Killing Me Softly

Top 10: Songs

Shame keeps us from embracing the love God offers us. Much like Roberta Flack, we fear exposure, convinced that someone who knows us as fully as God does can only despise us. But Jesus promises that anyone who comes into the light of his presence finds not condemnation and judgment but freedom and love. This confidence emboldens us to practice the art of confession, and our courage enables those in our community find the freedom that comes from walking in the light too.

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.

Jesus’ resurrection changed everything. Welcome to the future.
