Bible version: NET (New English Translation)

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.
