As a church we sometimes get critised by main stream 'in-the-box' 'Let''s follow the Status Quo, cause that's how we have always done it' Christians, for not being deep enough!!! ?? ***

I have learnt to question this accusation and its simple, it goes like this:

'How deep do you want it??' Is Jesus dying on the cross to save you from your wrong and the wrong of the world and give you eternal life, and the free gift of grace, being sanctified as we speak and have the indwelling life of Christ through the gift of the Holy Spirit living in and through you not deep enough for you??'

We have a misconception of deep sometimes - if its head knowledge they want then there are plenty of other churches that will give that. It's not as if we don't know our stuff I lived in a Bible college for 4 year Michl studied theology and all the German theologians that we Brits need to learn German for, if we really want to get to grips with all that deep stuff.

Anyway this video clip above is an introduction to Theology - Michl is so good at making complicated things understandable, which basically why Jesus used every day stories to get his message across. Jesus had something to say to those who thought they were wise they were  full of head knowledge but didn't really live it out and they were called Pharisees. He also chose what this world would call foolish to show up those who thought they were wise and actually were foolish. So just because a church makes things understandable and the message of a church can be applied to every day life does not mean its shallow!!

Hear endeth today's sermon and remember 'you only know as much of the Bible as you actually live out and do' that's what really knowing something is!! Don't just talk about it do it!!
