It’s the week after Christmas, and Christ is still too inconvenient for some churches. This time, again, it’s J.D. Greear’s Summit Church—canceling Sunday worship just three days after celebrating the incarnation. Apparently, gathering to exalt the risen King clashes with family pajama brunch or whatever sacred tradition replaced the Lord’s Day this year.
They call it “Worship at Home.” But let’s not pretend that this is worship. It’s content. It’s Christianity repackaged for maximum comfort—just enough Jesus to keep the brand intact, not enough to interrupt your vacation week. It’s like the driv-thru masses trending in many Catholic churches.
It’s unserious, but not an anomaly. It’s a pattern. Evangelical churches, especially the polished ones with media teams and self-help seminar-style pastors, keep closing their doors when it matters most. When Christmas lands on a Sunday, the doors are closed. But now, even when it’s the week after…still closed.
When it snows a little? Closed. God is now shelved for seasonal convenience.

But if gathering with the saints to proclaim Christ crucified is optional, then so is everything else. And the sheep know it. The goats don’t care either way.
Worship isn’t something we squeeze between gift returns and leftovers. It’s the very reason Christ came. And if your church can’t be bothered to show up the Sunday after Christmas, maybe it wasn’t really about Him in the first place.
