Description

Like the ancient texts in The Mummy, God’s “backwards” truths become the key to real victory and transformation.


1. The Bible is not Boring — It’s a Living Adventure



  • The Bible is alive and powerful: “For the word of God is living and active…”
    (Hebrews 4:12 ).

  • Features real stories of adventure and faith, such as David vs. Goliath, Paul’s
    shipwreck, and the Resurrection.

  • These are eyewitness accounts, not legends (2 Peter 1:16 ).


2. The Bible is not Bigoted — It’s Radically Inclusive



  • God’s love is extended to every nation and people group.

  • Women are empowered: Deborah, Mary Magdalene, Priscilla.

  • Outsiders are welcomed: The Ethiopian eunuch receives the gospel (Acts 8).

  • Scriptures: Galatians 3:28 , John 3:16 , Revelation 7:9 highlight inclusivity.


3. The Bible is not Backwards — But it is Backwards to the World



  • God’s wisdom often challenges worldly values.

  • True success means honoring God above all else, as modeled by Jesus.

  • “Backwards” actions: forgiving enemies, generosity, sacrificial living.

  • Scriptures: Matthew 6:33 , 1 Corinthians 1:18 demonstrate the power and
    purpose in “backwards” living.

  • Psalm 1:1–3: Those who delight in God’s law are deeply rooted and blessed.
