A drunk driver runs a red light and broadsides a car. The passenger, a bubbly 13 year old junior high girl, is paralyzed for life. Where was God? How could he let this happen? A hard-working father finds himself unemployed for over a year. His job was sent overseas to swell the company's bottom line. Struggling to find work, his sense of self-esteem is shattered. His family scrapes by and his wife works minimum wage jobs. God, where are you? How could you let this happen? Sometimes life feels out of control. Is God there? If he is there, how much control does he have over our life? As we look at the betrayal Christ, we find the answer.

Today, churches feel like a coffee shops. Preachers dress in jeans and shirts from The Buckle instead of suits. There are video projection screens and colored lights. Sometimes church feels more like entertainment. How much should the church become like the world? What would Jesus do? In John 17, we look at Jesus' prayer for how his disciples would carry on the mission of connecting people to God through his life. His prayer is that we would be profane in the way we do it. What does that mean? Join us as discover what it means to be a profane church that follows a profane savior.
