Magnified is a series of quick, fun, and educational videos on Biblical concepts. And, our name has a couple of meanings. First, we want this show to be a tool for carefully examining the Bible and revealing the truth inside. And the second meaning comes from scriptures like Psalm 69:30, which says, “I will magnify God with Thanksgiving.” When we “magnify” our understanding of God, we “magnify” God Himself. Everybody wins! We’re glad you’ve joined us, and we hope Magnified inspires you to do some examination of your own.
A question that humanity in general and theologians in specific have grappled with for thousands of years: what is the eternal fate of the billions that have walked this earth? In this final episode of our series on God's Master Plan, we look at the enigmatic Eighth Day and a promise of hope for mankind.
What will the world look like with Christ as the unchallenged ruler? In this penultimate episode of our series on God's Master Plan, we examine a seven-day, annual celebration that anticipates the first thousand years of the Kingdom of God.
Christ has returned. Humanity is saved from annihilation. What comes next? In today's episode, we take a closer look at Atonement and what it means to be truly freed from sin.
The Feast of Trumpets tells of a time of great upheaval—and it sounds a lot like the end of the world. In this climactic fifth episode, we look towards a day darker than any before, and a promise greater than any other.
Coverups, puppet masters . . . pizza. Every day there seems to be a new conspiracy theory, and a new batch of believers to go along with it. But who can blame them when some of those conspiracy theories have proven to be true? Today, Micah Gunn (Host of Magnified) and Clint Porter (Senior Editor of Editorial for United Church of God) discuss the biblical wisdom that is required to navigate the infinite rabbit holes of the Information Age.
If we misunderstand Pentecost, we misunderstand what God is still doing right now through His Spirit and His people. In this episode, we’ll uncover how Pentecost connects the Old Testament harvest festivals, the Tower of Babel, and the birth of the Church into one unified picture of God gathering people back to Himself.
It's probably the phrase we hear the most when we go through something terrible: "everything happens for a reason." But does that mean God makes terrible things happen in order to do good? Do we deserve it every time something bad happens to us? Maybe there's more to it. Today, Micah Gunn and Mitchell Moss look to the Bible to learn more about God's influence over our lives.
Now that Christ has freed us from the prison of sin through Passover, how do we start to follow Him? Scripture makes the answer clear: by keeping the Feast of Unleavened Bread. In episode three of our series on God’s forgotten Feasts, learn about this annual practice, which God established to reset our focus on replacing wickedness with righteousness.
In the second episode of our series on God’s forgotten Feasts, we’re kicking off the annual Holy Day cycle with a message of humility, commitment, and hope: the Passover. We’ll explain the parallels between the first Passover which offered Israelites liberation from Egypt, and the crucifixion of Jesus the Christ which offers us liberation from sin today.
God has a master plan, and He put it right in plain sight. He built a yearly cycle of Holy Days that reveal His purpose from beginning to end. These aren’t just religious holidays that come and go. Together, they tell the story of salvation, the return of Jesus, the future of this world, and even your place in it.
Can faith buy blessings?
God can and does bless those who live righteously, but does that mean sickness and poverty are signs of unrighteousness? Some ministers say yes, and that you can fix your unrighteousness by giving them more money. But today Micah Gunn and Mitchell Moss discuss what the Bible says about righteousness and blessings, and expound on our video on the Prosperity Gospel.
“The more faithful you are, the healthier and wealthier you will be.” It’s an attractive pitch . . . that completely perverts Christ’s message. It starts by turning faith into leverage, and making prayer into a bribe. But it only gets worse from there.
If you’ve been influenced by prosperity preachers, this isn’t a call-out, it’s a call home. Illness isn’t a sign of faithlessness, and a low account balance doesn’t make you unrighteousness. In today’s video, we’ll point you back to the hope of true Christianity found in the Bible.
