I don't get it, and I'm a devout evangelical, if I do say so, myself. I was looking for the pun in the guy's name, and didn't find it.
"Our God is awesome"? Not only is this entirely grammatically correct, or within the typical Christian use, but likely influenced by the lyrics of the song "Awesome God" by Rich Mullins, which is quite popular among evangelicals. The flame does not represent hell, but the fire of faith, or the Holy Spirit. Terrible graphic design is par for the course in Christianity, today, sad to say.
And, as for the blank below the name, I've seen far more ironic things written on church signs, often accidentally.
I was looking for some phonetic phunny in the pastor's name. I don't see any.
I guess it's possible that the street sign has to lean over to get a better look?
Or perhaps it's that the fire, together with the motto, could look like the heatmiser: arms spread, head full of fire...as though the lamb of god himself was scaring you into attending?
BTW for those of you not in the know about religion, I believe Christians have a popular song that they sing (Has been the past 2 decades) called "God is an awesome God" And it gets sang about everywhere.
