A new message series based on the popular TV show Hell's Kitchen is coming to The Haven in August. Chef Gordon Ramsey uses indimidation, anger, enticement, and pride to teach his contestants the "tricks of the trade." I'm not exactly trying to reach Christians with this series. Our goal at The Haven is to present messages on Sunday mornings that appeal to unchurched culture.
This series will focus on the thought of if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen! So often we find ourselves in the devil's kitchen feasting on the bad stuff he has to offer. Through the life-giving power of Christ we can overcome the devices of the devil. In August you'll learn how to overcome...
INTIMIDATION
FEAR
ANGER
SHATTERED SELF CONFIDENCE AND SELF WORTH
FALLING INTO THE TRAPS OF THE DEVIL

About Relevance
- Michael Burgner
- Cleveland, Tennessee, United States
- With all the modern terms used to describe culture and the modern church I like to simplify things and just say RELEVANCE! We're living in a Post-Christian or Post-Modern culture in America and many label modern churches as emergent and leaders as emerging. The term emergent is a bit confusing though it means "rising, up & coming, or promising." I like to say we're relevant! Relevant to what? Relevant to 21st century culture. I am determined to present the Gospel to 21st century post-christian culture and be effective in doing so. God used me in the 20th century to reach that culture and I celebrate what the church did in the last century. However, I refuse to replace relevance for religion. Whatever it takes to make the Gospel of Jesus Christ relevant to the 21st century, that is what I'm willing to do. My childhood was spend as the son of a pastor, and I became a preacher at the age of 18. I've been married since 1987 and have a boy and a girl.
