Does church challenge your thinking?
Sometimes church teaching has all the depth of a bumper sticker.
Sometimes the bumper sticker is the better deal.
That's sad, because the message of the church is of spiritual importance. It should leave us challenged, encouraged, and sometimes convicted.
On Sundays we are walking through a short text from the first century that challenged some religious slogans of the day. John, the writer, expresses concern that the ideas in those slogans were not harmless--but they offered a total rewrite of the Christian message. Sometimes the slogans we hear and even repeat ourselves need challenged, too. And there are many of them.
Join us this Sunday and as we hear from John. He has a lot to say about what is spiritually real in a world that is often content with slogans.
