OC MegaChurch Asks: Are We Just A Consumer Oriented Production?

The Orange County Weekly is the free newspaper I'd pick up at In-and-Out Burger or Rubios Fish Tacos when I lived in Southern California.  This week they featured an article about David Gibbons, pastor of NewSong, a church in Irvine.   I've been there several times and it was always exciting and growing. The kids' ministry was bursting at the seams. 

Dave had a revelation as he sat waiting to preach at a huge Easter Service his megachurch was holding at Anaheim Stadium.  He asked the question have we become a consumer driven production?  Is this really how God wants us to celebrate His resurrection?   The article is worth a read - I am reading and hearing more and more how people are discovering, as Dave is quoted in this article, that when it comes to learning and growing in faith,  small is the new big.

Our next door neighber of ten years in Orange is now an Associate Pastor at New Song and it is connected to the same denomination as Missio Lux. Recently there have been physical healings during the worship times at New Song.  It will be exciting to follow what is happening at New Song in the months to come.
