Are the Suburbs Killing Your Soul?

by Joe Thorn on August 26, 2008

Speaking of “thematic” preaching, this is a poster for the series I am preaching in September. These will go up around town to hopefully generate interest in the subject and buzz about the church. I’ll post more on the series itself later. The short take is: how does the gospel answer the brokennes, corruption and idolatry in our culture? Though it feels “safe” here, suburbia (like anywhere else) is a dangerous place to try and live.

Yeah, I may put out manuscripts/papers, but will at least be linking to the podcasts.

So does your church actually resemble the one in the poster? What are your thoughts about Church architecture? Looks like a Catholic church to me….It is a good poster…

No. The collage of images at the top looks more like “the city” top me. The house standing alone at the bottom represents the suburbs. My thoughts on church architecture? That too big of a question for the comments here.
