God @ the Billboards: Fix You



Every year we do two series that play off of popular culture: God @ the Box Office and God @ the Billboards. We do those series because the 60% of Americans who don't go to church get their theology from movies and music. Whether we like it or not, musicians and movie makers are theologians that shape the soul and psyche of America. We try do juxtapose Scripture with the lyrics of popular songs. We kicked off the series with Fix You by Coldplay.

Instead of a written evotional this week, here's a short video version. It's a five minute mini-message shot "offsite."

PMark: This is so cool but you are depriving your evo readers of an amazing sermon that people need to read over and over. Can't Tim post the notes on the Fix You sermon? I know I'm not the only evo reader that wants it! No pressure of course. I don't think that you realize how we use your written word as tools. Pass it on brother if you can. Heidi

I agree with Heidi, Pastor Mark! I know that I would like to have the whole sermon. I count on the evotionals because sometimes, I don't get to hear the whole sermon. So, if you can, if you and Tim have the time, will you please post it?

Thanks!

I was so moved and ministered to by the sermon that I was telling everyone about it ... several went to the site to hear it for themselves and were disappointed not to find it. I was too! I hope you all will be able to get it on-line soon.
