Funny, but what is wrong with Coffee. My dad has been teaching Sunday school for twenty years and half the church would stop by his class for the coffee.

Don't even waste your breath, DG, lol.

Coffee in the church is OF THE DEVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just think it's funny that videos such as this one are usually created by guys who pastor 12 people.

The video was clever but I think some of the jabs were to much. Guys like Rick Warren and others teach more gospel than most ultra-con preachers.

OK, I'll comment.

From 1992 until 2006 I went to a Vineyard Church in the Greater Cincinnati area. At that time they had 2-3 thousand people each weekend. Worship music was "contemporary." The speaker and worship team dressed casually. Coffee was available and was free. Services lasted barely over one hour and the sermon took up about half of that time. An opportunity was given for folks to come to the front to receive prayer after each service. People were available at the front of the church to pray with anyone who wanted prayer.

Some times the "seeker sensitive" and "outward focused" thing got to be a little "much" but people were helped and lives were changed.

I was involved with the church. I was available to pray with folks after service as part of the Celebration Prayer Team. I was there on Monday nights to pray with people when we had our Growth and Healing classes and groups. I did outreach on Saturdays. For 5 years I was a POC (Pastor On Call). As a POC I carried a beeper for one 24 hour day per week and one 48 hour weekend per month and was responsible for responding to any call/situation that came in during that period.

I left that church in the spring of 2006. There were no problems or hard feelings. I'm still part of their "Home and Hospital Visitation Team" and have even done a funeral for them since leaving there because someone requested me. The pastor who is in charge of the POC team has let me know that I would be welcome back as a member of that team if I want to come. I left because I wanted to be part of a church that was "smaller and more Pentecostal." Those were the words I had been using. I had been clear about that for some time before leaving so it was not a surprise when I did leave.
