Convicting and funny

“Sunday’s Coming” Movie Trailer from North Point Media on Vimeo.

What I love about this video is its source. Northpoint is one of the ‘coolest’ churches in America. It does ‘contemporary’ like no other church I’m aware of and it ‘works’. They are passionately devoted about being a church that non-church goers (in America) want to go to so they can hear about the life of Jesus. And they go, in their thousands. What I love about the bold deconstruction in this video, and by this church, is that it shows us that if the heart isn’t there, the medium is just empty of value, whether it’s ‘cool’ church or ‘hymn sandwich’ church.

The disturbing thing about this video though is that the medium is the message; the gospel is affected by what it is carried in, so I wonder how people perceive God when this is the kind of service in which the message is conveyed.
