Ashamed of Christ's Word

Here is another sad example of a church that would rather preach about movies rather than God's word.
Connection Church in Kyle, Texas has decided to abandon the teaching of God's word and instead exegete the spiritual messages in this summer's movies. (Apparently the Bible's stories are too boring and inadequate for today's discriminating 'seeker' sooooo Connection Church decided they didn't need God's Word this summer.)
It is important to note that the lead Pastor of Connection Church is Cole Phillips and he is a church planting coach for Purpose Driven Planting. (Yep, he works for Rick Warren.) His bio says that he "is guiding other church leaders to start healthy, thriving churches." It is obvious that Cole's idea of a healthy, thriving church is much different than Jesus'. God's word commands pastors to 'preach the word'. Cole thinks he is exempt from that command.

Here is their summer lesson schedule.
June 10th: Shrek the Third - Finding the KingJune 17th: Pirates of the Caribbean At World's End - Choosing SidesJune 24th: Ocean's 13 - Breaking the BankJuly 1st: Live Free or Die Hard - Living Free from AddictionsJuly 8th: Evan Almighty - Trusting GodJuly 15th: Ratatouille - Winning the Rat RaceJuly 22nd: License to Wed - Preparing for MarriageJuly 29th: The Simpsons Movie - Bouncing Back
Remember the words of our Lord in Mark 8:38:
"For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”
Based upon the fact that Connection Church has separated itself from the preaching and teaching of God's Word, they should be referred to from here on out as 'Disconnection Church'. This is exactly the type of preaching that will keep people disconnected from Christ for all eternity.
