The Christian Superpower

1 Peter 2:18-25

Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe Church

Superheroes have become a large part of modern culture. Audiences everywhere are drawn to these larger-than-life characters displaying awe-inspiring powers and abilities. In more recent years there has been an increased interest in learning about a superhero’s origin story—the “where it all began” explanation that led to the character becoming super.

Christians have their own origin story, and it began about 2,000 years ago on an old, rugged cross. Jesus’ death paved the way for believers to become new creations, capable of unthinkable deeds. Much like Peter Parker awakening with new super abilities from the radioactive spider venom coursing through his veins, Christians awaken to a new life filled with the Holy Spirit, the very presence of God Himself.
