Earlier today, we reported that one megachurch had put on a Super Bowl-themed service in lieu of biblical preaching and it even included background music from one of the most vile, foul-mouthed rappers of our day, E-40. Yet, it seems like the Super Bowl has become the god of most of these pagan institutions that call themselves churches.
Here, another megachurch in Ohio puts on another silly non-Christian Super Bowl-themed service and even hires an Elvis impersonator to sing See See Rider.
Here are some more pics from the service: ON LINK
Sickening.
I remember when churches quit having evening services on Superbowl Sunday several decades ago. Their excuse was that “nobody would come anyway.”
I would find another church.
Most Protestants don’t know this but evening Sunday service was originally for farmers who couldn’t make the morning service or at least this is what I was told.
Or the 8 am Sunday Mass
Yes. Indeed. We have all the bases covered. :)
I can believe that.
Still, the change was conspicuous.
Vigil Mass was packed at my church.
St. Peters in downtown Memphis has a pretty good gathering on Saturdays, and Sundays. Young, Old, Spanish, Black & a good amount of your standard Anglo-Saxons.
I have been asked to be an usher :) but it will be short term as I will be relocated for work back to Detroit in the Spring.
Mass is so someone can deny that Jesus paid our sin once for all on the cross.
One of the few E impersonators that actually sounded good...
Most protestants don’t know that because it probably is not true. Evening services on Sunday and Wednesday were known as prayer meetings. Over time they became teaching or preaching services. Two giants of the faith, Charles Finney and D. L. Moody in the 1800’s were leaders in having extra services for prayer meetings.
Regarding the posting on the mega church and superbowl themed service. There is basically zero information at the source. From the pictures it looks like a skit, which is popular in many churches to make relevant points. One cannot tell from what is posted if the criticism is valid or not. That blog lacks transparency and supporting information on anything they post so I would take everything written there with a great big grain of salt.
I am happy to say that our church service had no mention of the Super Bowl. In fact I’m sure it was the same service that would have been used as if it were not Super Bowl Sunday. I may have missed it, but I don’t think I even heard any mention of the Super Bowl in the fellowship after the morning service, tho I’m sure some were planning to watch it.
Mass is for Roman Catholics. This discussion is about Mass.and The Super Bowl. What exactly are you on about? Or do you just want to chime in and say your Right, and everybody else is Wrong. Cool Man. LOL!
