CareyM: If you are in the Chi-town area now, you should visit Bill Hybels/ Willow Creek some weekend.

Try the 20 something's AXIS service on a Saturday night, if you can't make one of there Sunday services.

They have about 20,000 on a Sat/sunday.

Eat breakfast at the on site restuarant and then sho p the huge bookstore.

Google Willow creek Bill Hybels and you'll find their website.

They are in Barrington I think (Chicago area)

They are not pentecostal but are indepaendant..non denominational. Very progressive.

It's an experience...just to see how "others" do church and church growth. They will take you on tour of their operation if you ask.

You'll come away with ideas of things that "wish" you could institute at your church.

Happy T-day....and welcome to illinois from a fellow illinois-an

He preached against the media putting sex on the TV, magazines, internet, billboards, etc. This is causing folks to commit mental adultery.

He shot in so many directions that nobody left without getting hit!!!!!

Bro. Epley would have loved it!!

I thought Pastor Hardwick did a masterful job. I was actually going to start a thread about this sermon but was waiting for it to show up on the CC website as a sermon people could watch or listen to and then give the link.I will still do that I think.
