“The Christmas Candle” Confirms The Concept Of Sermon-Free Church

Posted on November 22, 2013 by Steve Simms

The new movie The Christmas Candle is an amazing confirmation of The Salvation Army Berry Street’s participatory worship where everyday people show and tell what God has done.  I’ve been writing and posting, on my blog and on Facebook, for six years about sermon-free church and now a movie strongly confirms the concept.

Near the end of Max Lucado’s The Christmas Candle, a formal church service is interrupted as ordinary people, one after the other, begin to stand up and enthusiastically testify about how God is working in their lives! The preacher even sits down and allows the meeting to be led by the Spirit. Imagine that. Wow!

If you want to see this amazing kind of church meeting, not just on film, but in person, come visit us on Sundays at 10:45 am., 225 Berry St., Nashville, TN 37207.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia."
