Christ’s Church of the Valley’s newest series – Jesus Freak
Check it out!
Series Context: Christians feeling immense pressure to quit because of social pressure. People thought Christians were Jesus Freaks.
The author of Hebrews writes: “You need to persevere…” (Hebrews 10:36)
Perseverance is from the Greek “Hupomeno” (Hupo – under, Meno – to remain) – “To bear up under difficult circumstances without quitting”
So, we turn this bade of social derision (Jesus Freak) on its head and actually tell people we want them to become Jesus freaks! The series becomes a perseverance, be a bold evangelist, pre-Easter series.
Stage Design: Big Jesus fish on the back wall with “Jesus Freak” overlaid.
