Epic Live - Session 5: Epilogue

We live in a Larger Story. That should be clear by now. Things are not what they seem. The snake in the Garden was more than a snake! The carpenter from Nazareth was more than a woodworker! (See 2 Corinthians 4:18.) We are at war. Yes, it’s a love story . . . set in a life or death battle. Satan is seeking to steal, kill, destroy. Jesus is bringing us life. (See John 10:10). You have a crucial role to play. (See John 15:15–17, 17:18, Ephesians 2:10).

Epic Live - Session 4: Act Three

Creation is a glorious event we all too often rush through, as if it were a brief parenthesis to get to Genesis three and the Fall, where we mistakenly think our story really begins. But we must linger on the wonder and beauty of the world and life God intended for us to enjoy, to see the good intentions of his heart for us before we hastily jump to the Fall. Created as Image-bearers, we are designed for a heroic intimacy with God, endowed with a dignity, a freedom, and a glory that made a passionate loving relationship with him possible.

Epic Live - Session 3: Act Two

Most people do not live as though our Story has a Villain, and that makes life very confusing. How have we missed this? All the stories we’ve been telling about the presence of an evil power in the world, all the dark characters that have sent chills down our spines and given us restless nights—they are spoken to us as warnings. To live the life God has for us demands that we deal with our enemy.

Epic Live - Session 2: Act One

God is Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Thus, God is relational. Every person longs to belong. We crave relationship, and we yearn to be invited into relationship—whether that’s in a family, a group, a marriage, a church. That core human longing for relation- ship is evidence of what we are created for as image bearers of the God who is Trinity. And God the Trinity longs to invite us into relationship with him. Either we believe God is worthy to be the center of the Story and in him we’ll find the life we’re looking for, or we’ll look for life somewhere else.
