Mythbusting the Church

This next series of sermon topics for Branches will be centered around the theme of, "Is it truth or is it myth?" We'll tackle some of those subjects that we too often just take for granted about religion, spirituality, expected behaviors, and long accepted practices deemed sacred...or are they?

Gone are the days of churches being able to tell their people that "we've always done it that way", or "you just have to do this or that" because of fear of disappointing God or worse yet, of missing out on your chance to go to heaven.

God is raising up leaders and churches in our country that are not willing to live in the imperial mindset; one that puts the individual second for the good of the organization and that you must do what the organization has always done in order to be right. When the church stops offering what we've got and starts offering people what they need - which is real life with a real God, not religion - then we will see lives transformed and hearts turned to God.

The Mythbusting series will take on some of those hard questions that keep people in the dark about what God's heart is for them and what we can do to respond.

See you in church!
