This is a great little video. Whether they intended it or not, the people involved satirically provide a sad commentary on the state of the church today. Pastors and churches will stop at nothing to attract people to church. Nothing is too outrageous or far-fetched. The only thing that is neglected or left out altogether is the centrality of the preaching of God’s Word. Programs and performances are great when they are secondary to the main function of the gathered body of Christ—true worship centered on and grounded in the Word of God.
Ministry, leadership, discipleship, the local church and the deep riches of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
