This week, you’re probably going to see a lot of clips on social media and the blogosphere about churches who traded sound biblical preaching for stupid Super Bowl performances during worship service. Obviously, this demonstrates where their heart is, as their treasure is here on earth. But perhaps one of the lamest sermons I ran across, at least so far, is from Lifepoint Church in Rock Hill, SC, which is pastored by Nate Siemon and his wife.
During the sermon, which they titled “Super Bowl of Preaching,” four “pastors,” including his wife, got up to preach one “quarter” of the sermon. During each “quarter,” a stupid skit was put on, and throughout the entire “sermon,” background music was being played by one of the most foul-mouthed “gangsta rappers” today, E-40.
Who is E-40? Here are a list of some of his songs and lyrics, with the curse words bleeped out:
Do Ya Head Like This – Out here we ridin them scrapers, turnin mo’ heads than them Maseratis, Havin mo’ fame than them there Ferraris, Sellin that ‘caine and that there Qadafi, The life of the f*****n party, Bacardi Light and Bacardi Dark, Triple sec and that grenadine and that pineapple juice and parsley, Go up and bite that 2** like a shark, upside down frown…
Bad B**ch – My ni**a you see that s**t? Ni**a that bitch thicker than… peanut butter in the freezer, Ni**a I’m tryna have that that b**ch mane…
And, of course, the song that was being played in the background during all of this “church’s” stupid Super Bowl illustrations: Tell Me When to Go – Ooh. Jesus Christ had dreads, so shake em, I ain’t got none, but I’m planning on growing some…Talking big s**t in the scraper, going hella dummy, 1800, Jose Cuervo
Seems appropriate, right? I find it hard to believe that such places continue to call themselves churches and are able to get away with it. The entire bride of Christ ought to be incensed by such debauchery in the name of Christ. These institutions are prostitutes, and we’re allowing them to smear not only us, but our Lord Jesus Christ too. Here’s a clip from the sermon: VIDEO ON LINK
Are they trying to out do the half time at the Super Bowl? What next? The pastor's wife will have a "wardrobe malfunction" and we see her tits?
Where is Barbara Billingsley we need you
“Organized” religion is a flawed concept. Even in the time of Jesus, most of the churches were a great disappointment.
Today’s “Organized” religion is all about the Benjamins.
How can we get more people in here to give us more Benjamins?
Mega churches are after “Mega Bucks”.
Most churches aren’t about the glorification of God, they are about the glorification of the pastor, priest, minister, leader.
Only “they” can tell you what God wants/says and what the bible says/means. HEY! They may have taken an online course.

Maybe it’s my imagination but it sure seems like SC has more than it’s share of wackadoodle church headlines.
There will be many false preachers in the last days preaching a false gospel... see that ye be not deceived by them
In the time of Jesus there were no churches. There were synagogues. The churches came after his death, resurrection and ascension. Why do you have such an a-historical view of Christianity? And what’s with the advertising?

Like that megachurch in Houston with the mental person shooting. “Pastor” Osteen is all about the $$$.
E-40 was a lightweight compared to Westside Connection
