Eucatastrophe!

This sermon unpacks the concept of "eucatastrophe," a sudden, good catastrophe, as a lens to understand God's redemptive work. Drawing from J.R.R. Tolkien's idea, it illustrates how even in the darkest moments, God brings about unexpected deliverance. The message centers on the biblical narrative of the demon-possessed man, showcasing Jesus's sovereign power to confront and overcome evil, transforming utter despair into divine restoration. It highlights Christ as the ultimate eucatastrophe, who by His life, death, and resurrection, has decisively conquered sin and death, making all things right. The sermon extends this gospel truth, calling believers to embrace and proclaim this powerful message of God's victorious intervention in a broken world.
