They do far more than hand out water.

How about this? If you think its all hokey, go do what Pastor Chris asks you to do. Invest 1 year of your life. If you haven't been baptized, get baptized. Get in a small group. Do the growth track, and if you really want to feel froggy, do Freedom. If you aren't better off in a year, walk away.

Is it a big church? Yes. Can you see Chris? Doubtful. There is real spiritual genius in what they do. They aren't preaching sermons for mature christians, they are preaching sermons to lost people. Sermons that bring them to Christ. The deeper teaching is in a small group if that's your sort of thing.

What happens if a non-believer walks into a church and the pastor is doing a fire and brimstone message. You are going to HELL IF YOU DON'T REPENT RIGHT NOW!!!! If you walked up into a church as a non-believer and the pastor starts speaking in tongues???

You have lost your chance to teach that person about Jesus and save their soul.

You know what? I love a good sermon. You can preach one and really lay the wood to it, and I'll eat it up. You know what? Because I am not an unsaved person. It doesn't scare me because I know the truth and I know Jesus.
