Courage: Practicing Courage
Have you ever noticed that super heroes aren't always fearless? Sometimes they have quite a bit of fear. They just chose to do what's right rather than run from the fear (at least most of the time). That's what makes them super. It's called courage. Courage isn't the lack of fear. Courage is doing what is good even in the face of fear. As we grow in faith we grow in courage, courage to live out the life that Jesus calls us to live, courage to do good even when we're afraid, and courage to be the people we were created to be. As we celebrate Christmas, what could be more courageous than the God of all creation taking on the life of a baby born in a manger? Now that's super-natural! Join us as we explore courage in a four part series beginning on Christmas Eve.

Elements - Lithium-Love
Remember the periodic table of elements? It's a chart of the basic elements that make up our world. At first it looks very complex, but it's really quite simple. Worship is similar. At first it looks complex, but it's really very simple. Worship happens most fully when the community gathers to encounter God and respond with everything we've got. In the same way that our world is made up of basic elements, worship is made up of four basic elements of encounter and response. Come join us for this four-week teaching series on The Elements of Worship, and along the way we'll use these four basic elements from the periodic table to help us more fully understand what worship is.
