The B-Sides Volume I: Highway to Hell

You remember old vinyl records and cassette tapes? When recording-artists and bands would release LP's and full-length albums, the record labels would often compose the track listing in such a way that the popular songs that were more marketable would end up on the A-Side. The rest of the tracks were then pushed to the B-Side of the album or tape. Most people LOVE the A-Side tracks; the poppy tunes, the ones you hear on radio stations in heavy rotation. If you only listen to these A-Side songs, you won't get the full and clear picture of an artist or band's sound, and the message they may want to communicate on that album. Sometimes the most musically-technical songs, the deep cuts, find themselves pushed to the B-Side because they may not appeal to the masses. The Church today has encountered this problem; by finding themselves only wanting to hear the popular side of God's Word. If we are to be true believers and followers of Christ, we have to desire balance, and balance comes from looking into and discovery the "full council of God's Word." Pastor Earl begins a series where we're going to look at what the B-Side of some popular preaching subjects are, and how when we stay balanced with this B-Side teaching. Knowing what these deep cuts of God says can give us a renewed appreciation and honor for the things we find in the A-Side subjects.
