So this is Christmas

However you feel about the Beatles (my fav has always been Paul).....or don't feel about the Beatles, you may be interested to know that a "hip" church in Indiana is planning their Christmas sermons this year around Beatles tunes. Never heard of such a thing?? Neither had I. But I have been following Granger Community Church and their staff blogs for a few years now, and they are anything but conventional. They have a divine gift of blending both cultural and spiritual elements together and as a result, strongly point people towards the unlimited, loving heart of God at the same time. They are intentionally relevant with a capital "R."

Here is a sampling of their sermons titles used to depict the Christmas Story:

Let it Be.......Christmas

A Story Told by Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, George and Ringo.

Week #1: Nothin's Gonna Change My World
Week #2: All the Lonely People
Week #3: I Believe in Yesterday
Week #4: You Say You Want a Revolution
Christmas Eve Services: Let it Be

Personally, I am pretty excited to listen to the Podcast of this series. Yet, I would imagine there might be a little controversy surrounding the direction the pastoral staff has chosen to go this Christmas season. Either way, you can be sure it won't be as controversial as John Lennon's long ago statement of "being more popular than Jesus."
