Tell a Better Spell
Mark 15:42-16:8
The wrong narrative leads to the wrong solutions.
Stories answer: What’s good? What’s wrong? What can saves us?
Living a false story is like living under a spell.
Good Spell = God-spel = 'Gospel'
Jesus tells a better spell.
The world is full of competing “good spells”
Progressivism: Individuality : Oppression : Awareness/Activism
Conservatism: Order : Decline : Values
Environmentalism: Balanced Nature: Human Greed: Sustainability
Therapy: Inner Peace : Shame/Trauma : self love
Hustle: Independence: Laziness: Hard Work
“Biblical truth doesn’t fit neatly on either side of a cultural debate. It critiques both—and fulfills the good in both.” — Christopher Watkin
Other solutions = fix thinking, feeling, or doing
Jesus offers us a new being.
Jesus' Resurrection fulfills every gospel
Which story will you trust?
Trust the better spell
Tell the better spell.
Salvation Prayer
Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for drawing me to Yourself from my darkness, my sin, and my shame. I repent of my sins, and I ask You to forgive me. I welcome You into my heart, and I surrender my future into Your hands. Guide me by Your Holy Spirit, and help me to be a reflector of Your light to those around me. Thank You for including me in Your family. Amen
