Stop Val. Save Bob.

Not directly a musical…they can’t all be - but I could argue that the structure of many superhero movies mirrors musicals in many ways — but we’ll save that for another time. All are worthy of Love.

What do a first-century fisherman and a Marvel anti-hero have in common? More than you might think.

This sermon weaves together the story of Simon Peter—impulsive, loyal, flawed—and the Marvel character Bob Reynolds, a.k.a. Sentry and The Void. Through Scripture and pop culture, we explore themes of shame, unworthiness, and the unexpected grace that still calls us.

✨ Whether you’re a Bible nerd, a Marvel fan, a spiritual seeker, or someone who’s ever felt “too broken” to be called by God—this message is for you.

📖 Key texts:

Luke 5:1–11, Mark 14:66–72, John 21:15–19

💥 Featuring:

The Thunderbolts

Bob/Sentry/Void

Peter the Rock… and the Betrayer

The unforgettable call: “Stop Val. Save Bob.”
