Nerdy Christian Hope
"Nerdy Christian Hope"
Sermon by The Rev. Kelley Hudlow
Nov. 16, 2025
This sermon reflects on how Scripture invites us to read, learn, and truly take in God’s word so we can understand the world around us. It connects the themes of speculative fiction, especially Afrofuturism, with Jesus’ teachings about imagining a future shaped by God rather than fear. The preacher explains how both dystopian warnings and utopian visions can wake us up and guide us toward a better tomorrow. In the end, we are reminded that God calls each of us to trust, testify, and help build a world where everyone has enough.
