Like I said, he should have looked into the meaning behind it. It is fitting for Huntsville. 😉

@@shamwow1893 - Lord of the universe - wish they'd gone inside and looked at their AMAZING stained glass windows... - google it...

Same.

Born and raised right outside of Huntsville, the actual name I believe is “Cosmic Christ”. It was designed to look rather astral to tie in Jesus with the “rocket city” which is Huntsville’s nickname. I think that the artist focus so much on the space design he failed to notice how much the bottom of Jesus’ robe looked like an eggbeater. 😂 The design is amazing because it is a mosaic of hundreds of little Italian tiles that were placed with by hand or by tweezers depending on the size. But you can say eggbeater Jesus to anyone from here and they will know exactly what you are talking about. It is something to see for sure. They actually had to remove all the tiles and replace them around 5 years ago because so many of the original tiles were falling off. The ones that they removed they sold. I didn’t buy one but now I kind of wished I had so I could say I had a piece of the eggbeater Jesus. 🤷🏼‍♀️

So, the reason the artist gave it that egg beater look is bc the church couldn’t agree on whether to give Jesus sandals or not. No lie. Look it up. He’s also still alive and they finished restoring the entire thing to the tune of $1.4 mil. last year.

Every child under 10 said Amen to that.

It’s funny but also probably the same scenario for who knows how many others. I could go on with a thousand different issues but that alone is enough to make those neon crosses a problem. They serve no purpose other than to be a distraction, but there’s so much junk that takes place in church bodies all over whether they’ve strayed across the line a bit or it’s just outright heretical behavior or apostasy. Probably ranting too much but the local bar is missing it’s hanging window neon and now we know where they are. 🎉

Yessss!!!! Please!!!!!

Totally agree!

It’s a series

It really is and if faithfully watch it 😂

It’s not as funny without the blond chick

Well he did have the church hunters series that was pretty funny/ but made up

Hear, hear!!!

If you went to the ultra tan you went to far.

😂Same!!

It's real. The whole display here is actually interesting. It includes rne "God Rocket"

Tears down my cheeks laughing! Can’t stop

😂

It’s even more beautiful on the inside. Come visit us!

What's your church's plan of salvation?

@@MikeCheckBiloxi by any chance are you CoC?

From the little I heard in the video, I really like the song selection at your church. In Christ Alone, King of Kings, and Goodness of God. Three great songs.

He was doing more of these...but less now

The comments on the WBC comment card were over the top! Be careful where you take your attempt at humor.

Love this video. Do another one!

Great Synopsis! Lol! Love it! Lol

Cowboy Church on Chuckwagon Sunday is the TOP 🏆 winner

Yaaaazzzzzz 👍

Could not agree more!

Yes!!

Absolutely!!❤

Went to a Lutheran service in German, as an observer. It was beautiful.

mass is heresy so no thanks

Does it involve beating nonbelievers into submission like scrambled eggs? If not, I don't really care to know the real history behind it.

We also refer to it as St. Wisk. Or because of the missile-like bell tower - Our Lady of the First Strike Capability :)

With a large church you get in a small group.

This is the way

Orthodox Xtian adult convert here-there’s 2 of us! Great comedy.

Orthodox? Like Eastern Orthodox or Reformed? Just curious. I’ve studied for years so I know a lot about orthodoxy, just haven’t heard or seen many people profess it. Would love to talk to you

⁠​⁠ @gpmoore, I’m not sure which one of the two of us you’re asking. 😂. Anyway, in my case I am Eastern Orthodox Xtian. It doesn’t matter which “ethnicity” of Eastern O’dox church you go to, the Divine Liturgy (mass) will be the same and mostly in English here in the USA. The tunes or “tones” of the songs might be different. The songs might be in a different language, but the Liturgy will be in the same order as in any other O’dox church. I converted in the local Antiochian (Arabic) O’dox church. There was always some chanting and singing in Arabic along with the English. We also used Old Slavonic, Spanish, Greek . . . We had parishioners from around the world and from the USA. The same was true for my next church, which was a Greek one. I’ve recently moved to another town, and there’s a Greek church near my house, so I plan to visit. There’s a Romanian church near here, too. I enjoy learning about various languages and cultures. I was looking for a more traditional liturgy than that of my last church, which was nondenominational. I certainly got my wish!

@@gpmoore sure thing yes indeed Eastern Orthodox all the way ))

Some people like my husband are excited on the inside lol. He's not very expressive/emotional. He's very logical/thinking oriented. And when he's excited you can barely tell. Giving him gifts is no fun because I never get a good reaction, even if I get him something he really really wants. It's just how he is. People are all different, and have different worship styles and comfort levels. I'm somewhere in the middle lol. Maybe a hand raise. A little bit of a sway. I think sometimes the jumping and dancing people can look performative. Not saying everyone is doing it for attention of course, but it can sometimes come across that way and can be a bit off-putting. I think about how Jesus told us to go into our inner rooms to pray and God will reward what is done in secret. And I feel similarly about worship. Again, if it's genuinely coming from a person's heart, I say worship however you feel led to. But I think we should all be very careful and check our motives either way. Is it truly to worship the Lord, or are we seeking attention or trying to show others how Holy we are? Or are we being stoic because we are embarrassed to worship the Lord in public? As long as people's motivation is on the Lord, that's what matters however you worship.

Read the Bible When sinners are in presence of God or one of his angels, the natural response is to be silent and fall with your face to the ground

​@@malibudolphin3109But equally praise, shout and dance in the spirit! Sinners repenting isn't the only reason for attending Chapel, it's studying His Word, Worshipping Him with spiritual songs, Psalms and Hymns and fellowshipping with our fellow Brothers and Sisters in Christ xx

“We need to be clear about the role of faith not only in justification, but in every aspect of living the Christian life. The foundation of all Christian living, as well as of justification, is faith’s looking away from self to Christ and his promises. There is a time and place for introspection to see if the fruits of true faith are present in a Christian, but the examination of such fruit must not lead us away from the centrality of faith itself.” “Praise songs, which originated in charismatic circles and spread widely in other Protestant churches, seem often to express rather spontaneous waves of emotion. But their use is carefully planned with an eye to the emotional effect on the worshiper. In such a session of singing one can predict exactly when the hands will be raised and when other emotional responses will be exhibited.” “…Emotions themselves must not be trusted as an accurate guide to truth, virtue, or the presence of the Holy Spirit. Rather the emotions must be properly channeled and directed. They must be governed by the sanctified intellect and will of the Christian. They must be the effect of true faith.” “When emotions are misused, there is a constant danger of manipulation. It is easy for effective leaders to move people, especially trusting and expectant people, to feel what they want them to feel. Easily the church becomes a theater where feeling and catharsis take the place of true faith” -Robert Godfrey I agree here, as I am a reformed Calvinist BUT also in the book of Psalms there are at least seven distinct actions or ways noted that were considered then. Some are as you say, rejoicing with hands high, dancing, etc. Yet others are the complete opposite of those and are acceptable. My thought is that it’s the Holy Spirit that draws us to God, Christ reconciled our debt of sin as we recognize our inability to be be holy and sinless, which is God’s line of acceptance. The Bible says Jesus will continue the work on us, our hearts and our lives and we’ll continue to be drawn closer to his heart through his Word, which in turn will change our hearts again and again. If Christ builds an element of rejoicing inside of us that is equivalent to some of the ways that David and others praised God in the Bible, then what does the pot have to say to the potter. If not, I’d rather honor God with what I have and not let my emotional reaction to music or a group play a role in something they may feel amazing but is really just what is mentioned in Isaiah 58-a self centered demonstration focused on what God can do for us with warm feelings of self satisfaction. Spirit and Truth Sorry for the rant, just hope that encourages those who struggle with feeling that they are missing something due to their lack of “emotional” response or have even been corrected over it. God wants us to worship and worship in Spirit and Truth.

Some enterprising person needs to open a Sunday only lunch buffet on that road, serving from 11am - 3pm. Imagine the business!

@@melissamcgill1359 Right!?!?!?!

I'm a member of a Baptist Church, and our pastors raise their hands :)

Congrats!

Def need some pics in front of Eggbeater Jesus, but as you probably know, the inside is beautiful. John missed out on the stained glass windows. He probably would have gotten some additional mileage out of those, as they're also really unique, and appropriate for Huntsville! 😆

Reformed-lots of versions to choose from. Regular reformed, Christian, Protestant, American. Mostly found in areas heavily populated with Dutch descendants.
