Misty Creek Community Church 6/16/24 Sermon: "The Majesty of God"Father's Day WeekendThis week's sermon "The Majesty of God" is a thoughtful exploration of the divine greatness of God. The essence of the sermon emphasizes the importance of understanding and becoming absorbed in God's majesty, which I will support with insightful biblical examples. The sermon begins with a thought-provoking question, "What is the one thing we really believe God wants us to do?" My answer frames the crux of the message, namely that God wants us to comprehend His majesty. I support this concept with an example from 2 Peter 1:16, where Peter, having personally witnessed the divine, conveys the glory of Jesus Christ's coming stories as truth.Drawing on the devotion of King David to God, the sermon highlights a key biblical figure who acknowledged and celebrated God's majesty relentlessly. King David gathered leaders, priests, and commanders for service to God, thereby honoring the God of Israel. I tie this illustration back to David's praise of God's limitless greatness and majesty in 1 Chronicles 29:10-13. The sermon also refers to Psalm 68:34-35 to impress upon the congregation God's all-encompassing power and majesty. This serves as an exhortation for all to proclaim and recognize God's incomparable power.I concluded this sermon by challenging the congregation's fathers and spiritual fathers. Using the story of Desmond T. Doss, the unarmed WWII medic who rescued 75 men, as an example of fulfilling God's calling. This powerful tale of duty and bravery underscores my request for men in the congregation to invest spiritually in others and to spread God's majesty and love. In sum, this week's sermon "The Majesty of God" illuminates the critical value of acknowledging and being drawn in by God's magnificence. The account offers biblical accounts and real-world examples to encourage the congregation to accept God's omnipotence, and to challenge all of us to share God's majesty and word with others. I will drive home the necessity of spiritual discipleship in spreading the love and word of God. I hope to see you this Sunday! Grace and Peace,Stephen

Career Retrospective with Andrew Garfield. Moderated by Stacey Wilson Hunt, New York Magazine. Andrew Garfield is an AcademyAward®-nominated actor who captivates global audiences with his transformative performances spanning feature films and notable theatre productions. He continues to evolve his body of work in powerful roles and compelling narratives. In 2016, Garfield appeared on the big screen in Mel Gibson's Academy Award®-nominated World War II epic, HACKSAW RIDGE. Based on a true story, Garfield plays U.S. Army medic Desmond T. Doss, who was awarded the Medal of Honor by President Truman for single-handedly saving the lives of over 75 of his comrades while simultaneously under constant enemy fire during the brutal Battle of Okinawa. The film, which co-starred Vince Vaughn, Hugo Weaving, Brenda Griffiths and Teresa Palmer, was released by Lionsgate on November 4th, 2016. Garfield's critically acclaimed performance earned him lead actor nominations at the Academy Awards®, Golden Globe Awards®, Screen Actors Guild Awards and BAFTA Awards. Garfield also starred in Martin Scorsese's adaptation of the literary classic SILENCE, distributed by Paramount Pictures. The film tells a story of young 17th-century Jesuit missionaries who were persecuted during their search for a priest who had forsaken his faith. The film also starred Liam Neeson and Adam Driver. He was recently on stage once again in the National Theatre's production of ANGELS IN AMERICA directed by Tony Award®-winning Marianne Elliott. He plays “Prior Walter,” alongside Denise Gough, Nathan Lane, James McArdle and Russell Tovey. Garfield currently stars in Andy Serkis' drama BREATHE, based on the true story of the handsome, brilliant and adventurous Robin Cavendish (Garfield). Said to only have three months to live after being diagnosed with polio at the age of 28, Robin became a medical miracle and a champion for the disabled as he defied the odds stacked against him and lived until the age of 64. Later this year, Garfield will star in the modern noir crime thriller UNDER THE SILVER LAKE. Set in the underbelly of Silver Lake, California, the film follows an eccentric man who becomes obsessed with the disappearance of his neighbor and the murder of another man. The film is written and directed by David Robert Mitchell and will be distributed by A24. Additional film credits include: Marc Webb's THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN and THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2, which combined grossed over 1.5 billion at the box-office; Ramin Bahrani's 99 HOMES opposite Michael Shannon and Laura Dern; David Fincher's THE SOCIAL NETWORK, for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe® for Best Supporting Actor; Mark Romanek's NEVER LET ME GO opposite Keira Knightley and Carey Mulligan; Terry Gilliam's THE IMAGINARIUM OF DR. PARNASSUS; Spike Jonze's robot lovestory I'M HERE; Robert Redford's LIONS FOR LAMBS; Julian Jarrold's RED RIDINGTRILOGY - 1974; and John Crowley's BOY A, for which he earned BAFTA's BestActor Award in 2008. Garfield made his Broadway debutin 2012 in the revival of Arthur Miller's Pulitzer Prize-winning play DEATH OF A SALESMAN, opposite Phillip Seymour-Hoffman and directed by Mike Nichols. His portrayal of Biff Loman earned him a Tony®nomination for Best Featured Actor in a Play.

These two had plenty of movies in mind, and there was a long list of favorites to choose from.

Our resident war film buff has been dying for this movie to be chosen, and this week his wish was finally granted! Hacksaw Ridge is a film about World War II American Army Medic Desmond T. Doss, who served during the Battle of Okinawa. He refuses to kill people and becomes the first man in American history to receive the Medal of Honor without firing a shot. This movie will have you laughing, crying, and cheering the whole way through. Want to know how he earns that medal?

In episode 3, Joe and Michael discuss the 2016 movie Hacksaw Ridge, featuring the war hero Desmond T. Doss, an army medic who refused to carry a gun, and his monumental effort rescuing 75 men in the WW2 Battle of Okinawa. They examine the relation of the film to the popular myth of World War 2 as the Good War, and they wonder whether or not more people like Doss, who have the courage to stand up for what they believe in despite external pressures, might eventually eliminate war as a tool of human relations.

Diese Woche schickt Ina uns zum widerholten Male an eine der vielen Fronten des zweiten Weltkriegs. Um genau zu sein begleiten wir Desmond T. Doss in Mel Gibsons 2017er Streifen Hacksaw Ridge auf eben jene Erhöhung auf Japans Okinawa. Etwaige Tonprobleme sind der versuchten Liveaufnahme geschuldet unter der leider besonders die Tonspur von unserer Helena gelitten hat. Einen Versuch war es wert, nächstes Mal wieder im Gewohnten Format aber mir teilweise neuen Mikrofonen, es wird also alles aber auch alles besser. Vielleicht ja sogar die Heimkinoempfehlung von Malte diese Woche? Die Chancen stehen gut, wurde der Film doch kürzlich erst im Empire Podcast von Quentin Tarantino selbst empfohlen. Die Rede ist von Hell Night (1981), in Deutschland auch als Paranoia bekannt, aktuell in OV im Abo bei Amazon Prime enthalten. Aber mehr dazu nächsten Monat.

Another war movie for you this week, listen in to see how we liked this one! The true story of Pfc. Desmond T. Doss (Andrew Garfield), who won the Congressional Medal of Honor despite refusing to bear arms during WWII on religious grounds. Doss was drafted and ostracized by fellow soldiers for his pacifist stance but went on to earn respect and adoration for his bravery, selflessness and compassion after he risked his life -- without firing a shot -- to save 75 men in the Battle of Okinawa.

The true story of Desmond T. Doss, the conscientious objector who, at the Battle of Okinawa, won the Medal of Honor for his incredible bravery and regard for his fellow soldiers. We see his upbringing and how this shaped his views, especially his religious view and anti-killing stance. We see Doss's trials and tribulations after enlisting in the US Army and trying to become a medic. Finally, we see the hell on Earth that was Hacksaw Ridge. TheSmokeyShelter.com

Hot Dog Sunday The true story of Pfc. Desmond T. Doss (Andrew Garfield), who won the Congressional Medal of Honor despite refusing to bear arms during WWII on religious grounds. He earned the respect of his peers for his bravery, compassion, and selflessness. Jesus said to the people who believed in him, "You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free….So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free. John 8: 31 & 36

We discuss the anti-war/pro-war Mel Gibson film Hacksaw Ridge that follows the story of PFC Desmond Doss, a conscientious objector to aggressive violence as he enlists in the military to compromise his principles (though the story seems to deny this). Here is the flawed, and incorrect Google description: The true story of Pfc. Desmond T. Doss (Andrew Garfield), who won the Congressional Medal of Honor despite refusing to bear arms during WWII on religious grounds. Doss was drafted and ostracized by fellow soldiers for his pacifist stance but went on to earn respect and adoration for his bravery, selflessness and compassion after he risked his life -- without firing a shot -- to save 75 men in the Battle of Okinawa. In the show we bring up a number of things that don't fit in with the official narrative we are told in school, media and political recollection.

Stevie and Pappy spoil the weekend in movies discussing: Doctor Strange, Hacksaw Ridge, and Moonlight. Doctor Strange (2016): Dr. Stephen Strange's (Benedict Cumberbatch) life changes after a car accident robs him of the use of his hands. When traditional medicine fails him, he looks for healing, and hope, in a mysterious enclave. He quickly learns that the enclave is at the front line of a battle against unseen dark forces bent on destroying reality. Before long, Strange is forced to choose between his life of fortune and status or leave it all behind to defend the world as the most powerful sorcerer in existence. Moonilight (2016): A young man deals with his dysfunctional home life and comes of age in Miami during the "War on Drugs" era. The story of his struggle to find himself is told across three defining chapters in his life as he experiences the ecstasy, pain, and beauty of falling in love while grappling with his own sexuality. Hacksaw Ridge (2016): The true story of Pfc. Desmond T. Doss (Andrew Garfield), who won the Congressional Medal of Honor despite refusing to bear arms during WWII on religious grounds. Doss was drafted and ostracized by fellow soldiers for his pacifist stance but went on to earn respect and adoration for his bravery, selflessness and compassion after he risked his life -- without firing a shot -- to save 75 men in the Battle of Okinawa.

Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning screenwriter Robert Schenkkan—whose credits include “All the Way,” “The Pacific,” “The Quiet American,” and the upcoming “Hacksaw Ridge”—talks to Sean Tuohy about his career and how he helped bring U.S. Army medic Desmond T. Doss’s story to the screen.

Doss was the first conscientious objector to be awarded the Medal of Honor, though he's not the only one. Two other men, Thomas W. Bennett and Joseph G. LaPointe, Jr. also showed tremendous valor and received the same award, though posthumously. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers
