We like to claim that Jesus’ resurrection changed the world. But how? How does it matter that Jesus was raised from the dead not on Sunday, when we worship, but on Monday, when we dive back into our ordinary lives? In this series, we explore the “I Am” statements Jesus makes in John’s Gospel to see how the new life Jesus offers us is as immediate and relevant as ever, right where we live, work and play.
How does Jesus change not just our Sundays, but our Mondays?

The God of Entertainment
Unlike the other idols we've explored in this series, Entertainment is a subtle god. When we tune into something entertaining, we often shut off our brains, relax and enjoy the leisure activities we're engaging in. It's exactly this mindlessness that allows our Leisure to shape us so unconsciously. We're called to be mindful in our entertainment choices, to use even our leisure to help us love God and love each other better.
From Series: "American Gods"
When you think of idol, you think of a little statue. But idols can be anything that distracts or distances us from God. During Lent, we're going to look at some of the most popular idols in our culture. We'll see what they are, and how they pull us away from God. We'll also discover the better way God calls us to. Join us as we discover the identities of these American gods, and turn from them to follow the one and only true God.
