Rev. Russell Reflection –
“It is God’s will that by doing good, you might cure the ignorance of the fools who think you’re a danger to society.”
— 1 Peter 2:15, The Message
Okay… I LOVE this translation. 😂
If there were ever a biblical invitation to a little holy disruption, sacred troublemaking, and Jesus-style mischief, this might be it.
Because here’s the thing:
Jesus was considered dangerous.
He challenged religious assumptions.
He crossed boundaries people told him not to cross.
He ate with the “wrong” people.
He questioned systems that excluded people.
He flipped tables—sometimes literally. 👀
You might even say…
🔥 Jesus was the OG deconstructor.
He wasn’t interested in destroying faith. He was interested in tearing down the things we had built around God that kept people from experiencing grace, freedom, love, and abundant life.
So here’s the question:
❓ WHAT WOULD JESUS DECONSTRUCT TODAY?
And that brings us to something very modern…
🤖 Artificial Intelligence.
Some people love it.
Some fear it.
Some don’t understand it.
Some think it’s going to change the world.
And some would happily launch ChatGPT directly into the sun. 😂
But AI is already becoming part of everyday life.
And like every tool humanity has created, the biggest question isn’t simply:
“Is AI good or bad?”
Maybe the better questions are:
👉 How will we use it?
👉 What does it reveal about us?
👉 What can technology never replace?
👉 And in an increasingly artificial world, what does it mean to have an AUTHENTIC faith?
This Sunday, we’re going there.
Join us as we launch a brand-new sermon series:
🤖 ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
🧠 POSTMODERN THEOLOGY &
❤️ AUTHENTIC FAITH
And we begin with:
🔥 “What Would Jesus Deconstruct?”
Come curious.
Come skeptical.
Come with questions.
Come ready for a little holy mischief.
Because following Jesus was never supposed to make us less human—it should teach us how to become more fully human.
