\"\"You see them everywhere you go. Christian catchphrases printed on plastic and slapped on someone’s bumper\u2014as enigmatic as they are ubiquitous. They are the taglines of well-intending people of faith seeking to communicate something profound to a world listening at 140 characters at a time.<\/p>\n

But what do they mean?<\/p>\n

Repeating a message does not guarantee its reception. Nor does trimming it down. Big ideas that get reduced to bite sized portions for mass consumption often get lost altogether. Words that once meant something can cease to have any real meaning at all.<\/p>\n

Join us for a series of summer messages called “Beyond the Bumper Sticker” as we seek to peer behind the clich\u00e9s to uncover the truths meant to be conveyed. The gospel is more than a slogan. It is the Good News of what God has done for the world through Jesus Christ. Come learn what that, along with its various expressions, could mean for your life.<\/p>\n
