Hot Topics

In a planning meeting today we were discussing sermon series for the rest of the year. We are currently discussing doing a HOT TOPIC series in the month of June. I am writing to my blogging buddies - (thank you to those of you who welcomed me into your community) - to see if any of you have any suggestions for this 4 week series. More than talking among ourselves, it would be better to ask some of your friends who are outside of the church. It would be great to very specifically target subjects of interest that come from unchurched friends. Any feedback will be very much appreciated.

Welcome to the world wide blog! I will pray that God will give you a special measure of Grace as people read and misinterpret what you wrote or leave "unique" comments!! LOL!!! :)

One Hot Topic with my unsaved family tends to turn to "why should I go to church? How are church people any different from everybody else not in church? I'll just worship God on the river as I fish on Sunday morning."

As you know many of the X / Y generation never have been to church. There are so many basic questions to answer. Who is Jesus? Why does God require a sacrifice? Is there not another way? What is the significance of blood? It all seems a little strange.

But if you really want a hot topic begin to tackle issues like the "Emerging Church" and its affect on ministry / people nation wide.

While I realize this is more for the believer, it's a current hot topic where many are finding answers and direction.
