Soundtracks | Week 6
One of the very popular movie genres over the past several decades could be classified as end of the world type films. From giant asteroids hurtling towards earth to rampant mutant viruses to natural disasters and more, we seem to be fascinated with what happens at the end of this existence on our planet. And our modern society has even borrowed a biblical term and applied it to these notions: apocalypse. However, as often happens, this term is used in a way that is rather divorced from it's biblical meaning.
Apocalypse doesn't really mean "the end of the world" as much as "an uncovering" or a "revelation."
Even so, as we think of the end of all things for us, it is important for us to grasp what it is that God IS revealing to us about what the future holds. We often get fascinated with the fantastic and dramatic and cataclysmic, but what the Bible reveals is actually way more glorious, way more beautiful, way more encouraging, and way more practical than we might be thinking … and it has WAY more to do with how we live today than it does with figuring out the details of how it will happen.

Message Series Description:
Almost every TV show, movie, documentary, or anything we can stream or see on a screen has a soundtrack, something carefully chosen, curated, and crafted to impact your experience of whatever media you are consuming. In fact, much of what we watch would be downright weird if it had no underlying soundtrack to set the mood, to clue us into what’s happening, and to set the expectation for its audience about what’s taking place.
And the truth is, we ALL have our very own soundtracks, those things that we have set on repeat which guide how we SEE the world and how we ACT in the world. What would it look like if we created a playlist of those “greatest hits” of what God wants for us and lived like they were actually true?
