Easter disappointment

We have not been in TN for most Sundays as we have been traveling to minister, and since our move we have only been to church twice. Today we attended a large church in the area for one of the Easter services and walked out very disappointed and empty. The church was packed for the first service this morning. The worship team did a great job leading songs of praise that Christ had been raised from the dead and that the tomb was empty. We had communion, which they do every week here. The Pastor read a passage of Scripture, then read a list of things about the Resurrection. They took the offering, we sang again, and to my amazement, mentioned the service was about to end and if anyone wanted Jesus to save them, they should come forward. I was stunned! No Preaching of the Word! No Gospel presentation on one of the two days of the year when people feel the need to attend church. No explanation of how to be saved…NOTHING! The service was over in 45 minutes. I felt so empty. I hurt for those who needed to hear the plan of salvation and experience the conviction of the Holy Spirit…the drawing of the Father, and it didn’t happen. What a waste. This was our first experience in a local church in the Bible belt, and it left a lot to be desired. I will try to get into this church to present the MAD Live Event, but this church will not be our church home. We want to hear the Word preached, with passion and conviction by a Holy Spirit filled man.
