Series Title Ideas

Hey everyone,
Just wanted your opinions on the series title.

Dean's idea was to go with something more about Jesus' teaching and way of life being different than we expect, rather than using his name in the title.

Here are a few ideas Alicia had (Alicia, forgive me for posting these, but I thought they were a great start):
Who is He, Really?
UNorthodox (sort of silly, I know, bear with me)
Christ,Simplified
Simply Christ
It isn't Like That
Not As Expected
It's Not What You Think

And here's what I came up with from these:

The Unexpected

Like it? Hate it?

The next series!! (leading into Easter)

Just a few thoughts on the next series:

March 29th (It's not about rules, but grace)
the idea: being religious meant following rules in his day and he came to show that it was more because of love and grace.

April 5th (up=down, power=sacrifice)
the idea: that to be the greatest you have to be the least
Dean will be focusing on the story of Jesus coming into Jerusalem knowing he was coming to give his life

April 12th (EASTER - power and transformation)
the idea: Dean will be talking about life transformation being all about the power God has rather than you working harder (geared heavily toward those that aren't Christians)
He really wants upbeat celebration type stuff at the beginning and then a more reflective (decision) moment near the end.
