Love Reaches Beyond Barriers
April 27th & 28th
Post-Easter, we’re going to embark on a very important message series! In a world that is polarized in so many ways, politically, theologically, socially, is there a way to find common ground with people very different than ourselves? How do we love in a polarized world? How will we navigate relationships in our lives this election year? We are reminded that Jesus didn’t just tell us to love when it’s easy, he told us to love. Period. Let’s explore what that looks like!
Often we wonder how to go forward, and often we wonder where we'll find the courage to do so... Courage to see what Jesus is showing us, and to begin to live the remarkable life that Jesus offers us. Based in part on the book, "Courage: Jesus and the Call to Brave Faith," by Tom Berlin, we'll explore what it means to have courage, in our own lives as well as in the life of God's church.
The HOPE of Courage
May 11 & 12
Hope is at the center of life. Lack of hope is at the center of our hurt and pain. How can we find hope, sustain hope, and cultivate hope?
The FORTITUDE of Courage
May 18 & 19
Fortitude is courage that endure in hardship. In the midst of our hardships, how do we find fortitude? How do we help others find this courage in their hardships?
The LOVE of Courage
May 25 & 26
Love is the most powerful force there is. That's probably why Jesus told us that love is the greatest commandment. Love also requires tremendous courage.
