Well, My view will certainly be different.
19 minutes 15 seconds until a vague scripture section is referenced until he went to his key verse he wanted to really preach. So forget context.
Just the amount of time before he gets to a Scripture reference........I guess Andy Stanley believes this "sermon" is doing church differently i guess. Who cares about Scripture. Its the Andy Stanley show and his words are what are important.
He just wanted to preach on doing church a different way, whether context says that or not. And it doesn't say what he is proclaiming about church. Read the context of Matthew 16 and let me know Jesus was teaching "doing church differently than we do it today" is what we are supposed to get out of the passage. He is correct Matt 16:18 the word "church" doesn't mean a building, but I don't know anyone preaching it means a building.
And maybe someone more knowledgable than i can tell me if I'm wrong, but William Tyndale, which he speaks of at the 20:30 mark, was not burned at the stake for making the word in 16:18 not "church" in his bible. He was burned for printing the Bible in English.
I just listened to the first one. And i didn't critique the entire sermon. I wouldn't even critique the first 19 minutes because he isn't proclaiming God's word, but his own ideas, which the sermon is based on. Clearly not from Scripture.
I guess you can see I'm not a big fan of his....i also think he is an example of what is wrong in Christianity.
