Opening Prayer

Start with a prayer inviting understanding.

Sample Prayer:
Holy God, You stepped into our broken world and healed what we could not fix. You now invite us into Your ministry of reconciliation. Open our eyes to see the hurting, open our ears to hear their stories, and strengthen our hands to help set them free. May our hearts grow in love as we walk in Your ways. Amen.

Prep Questions

  1. Have you ever had to clean up a mess you didn’t make? How did you feel about it?

  2. What’s one game, movie, or story that flipped your expectations of what a “hero” is?

Shortened Transcript

In Moon: Remix RPG Adventure, you don’t level up by fighting – you level up by love. You heal what the so-called Hero broke: freeing lost souls, mending relationships, restoring what was taken. It’s a parody of RPGs, but also a picture of what Paul calls “the ministry of reconciliation” in 2 Corinthians 5.

God reconciled the world through Christ, then handed us the broom – inviting us to help set things right. In the game, and in life, that means:

  1. Notice the Caged Souls – Pay attention to the hurting that others overlook.

  2. Listen to Their Stories – Hear before you fix. Listening is itself an act of love.

  3. Set Them Free – Take action to restore, repair, and reconcile, even when it’s messy.

Jesus didn’t just fix the world and leave; He empowered us to carry His reconciling love into every broken place. Like the unlikely hero in Moon, we are invited to mend the world, not with force, but with love.
