About this listen
🎙️ Episode: “The Gospel Over Art, Prophecy… and Empire”
In a world that worships creativity, beauty, and influence, what happens when art becomes idolatry — and when empire demands worship?
In this episode, we explore the gospel as God’s greatest masterpiece — a divine work of love that outshines every song, painting, and prophecy. Through the story of Apollos in Acts 18, we contrast the culture of Apollo and Nero — symbols of artistic pride and imperial power — with the humble faithfulness of Priscilla and Aquila.
From the beauty of creation to the corruption of celebrity culture, this message reminds us that the gospel is not just above art and prophecy — it’s above every empire that demands our allegiance.
🪔 Key themes:
God as the ultimate Artist
The gospel as the true masterpiece
The idols of art, influence, and entertainment
Nero’s empire and the spirit of idolatry
The quiet power of humble gospel-bearers
✝️ Final truth:
“Every empire will fall. Every song will fade. Every prophet will grow silent. But the gospel will stand forever.”
