Church of the Rock in Winnipeg, led by pastor Mark Hughes, is known for its unique Easter sermons, interpreting the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord of Glory as Hollywood blockbusters, ranging from Monty Python and the Holy Grail to Toy Story, Star Wars, Tombstone, Indiana Jones, Robin Hood, Back to the Future, and Pirates of the Caribbean.
We last covered them after they crucified Iron Man on stage, then crucified Buzz Lightyear, Simba. and then most recently Batman. A straightforward exegesis and the proclamation of the good news of the resurrection as told by the scriptures is seemingly out of the question, and so the sermon is mashup of Tombstone and various spaghetti westerns, featuring shooutouts, outlaws, a bunch of musical numbers, and at one point, a white guy dressed up as an Asian shopkeeper doing Russell Peter’s infamous comedy sketch.
This is up in Canada 🍁 🇨🇦, which is not surprising.
And starting to worry me a bit.
Easter - relegated to bunny rabbits and western comedies...
