Sermon Illustrations from Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010)

After receiving word from spies that the holy city of Alamut has been providing weapons to their enemies, Crown Prince Tus orders an attack by his brother Garsiv, but it is his little brother Dastan who sneaks into the city, opening a path for entry into the city. What should be a great victory turns into confusion when an act of treachery pits brother against brother. Falsely accused of murder, Dastan is forced to flee for his life, taking with him the Alamut princess Tamina. Dastan sets out, determined to clear his name, and on the way discovers the incredible power that Tamina safeguards -- a weapon that controls time.
