POP! Goes the Gospel Sermon Series at First UMC
- Begins This Sunday!

Popular cinema and popular art aren’t popular just because they’re new and trendy. They’re popular because they reflect us, and we reflect them. We see ourselves in it, and we invoke our values: our sense of justice, and our hope for resolution. Let’s take a look at our popular culture, and see if we can find Jesus there. This week we explore the theme of Good vs Evil in the super popular Netflix movie: K-Pop Demon Hunters!
