About Jason Curlee
- Jason Curlee

- My blogs are about creating content that ministry leaders can find practical and inspirational. They are about sharing the ministry principles and experiences we have accumulated since 1995. It’s about being innovative, unique, and creating content that can help you make a difference. Whether you are a pastor, ministry leader, volunteer, friend or family, these blogs are written for you. With ministry experience in three churches since 1995, I have a passion for helping ministry leaders excel in what they do. With youth ministry success in two churches and working on staff for a 4,000 member church, it is my desire to give back to the ministry community as a whole. I am a Church Planter and Campus Pastor for Bay Area Fellowship in Corpus Christi, Texas. I am about influencing and developing others to make a difference in their world. This blog contains the random inner workings of his mind and in no way reflects the thoughts or opinions of Bay Area Fellowship, the BAF staff or the people who attend BAF.

no one had to. he was increasing God's kingdom, not man's.
Jason,
What are people so afraid of?
Any Christian in their right mind should have no legitimate objection against having a large church i.e. a “mega-church.” There is nothing wrong with having large churches. I say the more the merrier.
I understand however that the complaint is usually directed against the means by which someone achieved mega-church status. The criticism is that in many-mega churches the sermons are not characterized by the kind of sermon Peter preached in Acts 2 when he said things like, “This man [Jesus] was handed over to you by God's set purpose and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross” (2:23) and "Repent and be baptized…Save yourselves from this corrupt generation."
Rather the sermons sound more like exhortations from Stuart Smalley. Where is “God loves you and has a wonderful plan for life” in Acts 2? Better yet where in all of Acts can you find any preaching that says that? Not trying to stir up a debate here. I am just clarifying one of the common complaints against mega-churches.
