Series:  DESIRE: The Formation of Who We Are

Message:  LOVE
Synopsis:  The premise of this series is that more than thinking or believing beings, we are called to love.  In short, we are what we love. As human beings, the issue is not whether we love, but what we love.  This is about worship.  Biblical and experiential, we love because God loved us first.  And he keeps loving us.  This message will explore the unending love of God for us and our response as love in return.

Series:  DESIRE: The Formation of Who We Are

Message:  HEART
Synopsis:  The premise of this series is that more than thinking or believing beings, we are called to love.  We were made for more than merely thinking or believing in God, but to actually love God.  What we love then says a lot about who we are.  In other words, we are what we love.  This is akin to worship.  Biblically speaking, what we do (habits) shape the kinds of things we love, which emanate and take root in our heart, not just our heads.  This message will explore the heart as the seat of desire and worship.
