Illumined Imagination in a World at War
Revelation 12:1-9

These symbols contain the whole of Biblical history

Activating our imagination is the only way to peer into destiny.

There is reason for hope because the story ends with the defeat of evil, the renewal of creation, and the fulfillment of longing

John is not just telling us what to believe. He is teaching us how to see.

Imagination allows us to perceive a world we cannot (yet) see.

Only illumined imagination breaks the darkness of despair.

The Dragon may be terrifying, but he is not victorious.

The Dragon is a serpent, slanderer, accuser and deceiver.

The Dragon animates all the systems of empire.

Revelation tells us get off the spectrum of Left and Right all together.

Advent is the season where the church re-learns how to imagine through Jesus.

Revelation reminds us: we have been here before.

Only illumined imagination breaks the darkness of despair.

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
