Meeting God at the Mall shows us there is no obstacle too great to prevent us from finding our way back to the peace we can find only in our loving Savior - even in a culture that's mired in idolatry. These idols are particularly apparent at Christmastime - there's the consumerism of the holidays, perfectionism that makes us worry about hosting the perfect holiday party, and busyness that gives us a false sense of worth.
These sermons use the words and actions of Paul to call out these false gods, to reveal our idolatry and its cause: our longing for the true source of peace. Once we have determined the cause of our love/hate relationship with the Christmas season, we can begin to pursue the counter-cultural cure.
Sermons include:
'Joy on an Elephant' - The story of how Caroline Casey learned to rejoice in disability (Philippians 4:4-7)
'The Holy Spirt Brings Everyone to the Party' - The story of a WWII soldier who delivered an enemy flag back to its home (Acts 8:14-17)
'Nose Hairs and Disney' - The story of an adopted girl who found belonging in her new family (1 Corinthians 12:12-31a)
