Description 

Main Point: God takes our broken lives and makes them whole.

Synopsis:

• An artistic look at what is broken being made whole again.
• An egg is broken; a water container explodes, a fire combusts—as words are superimposed on the screen. A broken life—a shattered soul—refined by His Holy Fire.
• Restoration begins as we see a fish swimming in a beautiful gushing stream, the glass container being restored, a shattered bulb being restored and the egg being made whole.
• Quick but effective object lesson in wholeness
• Good production quality with interesting music.

Application:

• By God’s grace we are restored and made whole.
• Just when we think it can’t get worse—God has a way of restoration beyond what we can imagine.
• Often restoration comes after dreams have died or when we feel like failures—God’s grace and mercy are far reaching.

Suggested Uses:

• Appropriate for sermon starter on the process of wholeness
• Also appropriate for ambiance between church services.
