I suggest, every Sunday some elder here will post his sermon.
Accompanying with three youtube worship videos.

Someone once said to me, as an investor, he puts his money on where he see people flocking. In most cases, such shows there is something to the thing people are flocking, numbers show correctness if you will.

Then he said something like, "as an unbiased bystander, where all other Christian churches are diminishing in numbers today [about 10 years back now], it's contemporary Hillsong-like mega churches where people appear to flock." He was something other, like Uniting or Anglican, possibly Catholic ( I really don't know he definitely wasn't "contemporvant").

Thinking further on the analogy though. When one invests, they care little for whether the thing they invest in has real substance -- so long as their investment increases that is what matters. So then, one should ask themselves, what "substance" they get from such. That goes for any church one attends or church-like group.

Sometimes the 'substance' they get is just 'feeling good' -- an emotional high. It's not long-lasting.

I didn't listen to much of the music video cause I don't care for that kind of music.
