As part of our fall worship series, God’s work. Our hands., we are journeying together with provisions; reading some of the same books, listening to some of the same music, and watching some of the same movies.
Here are the things we are traveling with this fall:
The Big Sort- examines the ‘self sorting’ of American culture and the negative impact that this practice has in a more and more diverse world.
Freedom of a Christian- is Martin Luther’s examination of our paradoxical life as those who are completely free through Christ while at the same time bound to serve others.
A Generous Orthodoxy- challenges us to a life that is Christ-centered in practice, looking beyond us/them and embracing the mystery of we.
Jim and Casper Go to Church- is a a collection of conversations between a church consultant and an atheist as they visit churches and speak with Christians.
Everything is Spiritual- is a filmed teaching of Rob Bell, a pastor who is tremendously gifted at raising awareness of the nature of things spiritual.
Pleasantville- is a film that captures the rub of modern life (and world view) with postmodern life (and worldview).
Ben Harper- is the musical artist we are listening to with a recommendation of the CD Diamonds on the Inside. Take a listen to our journey theme song above.
Grab a book or movie at worship. Give it a chance and see what you think. Don’t like it, bring it back and try another.
