Make Love Work - Song of Solomon

Our culture is in love with the idea of love.  We are enamored with the idea of the fairy tale beginning and the fairy tale ending, but we never hear the full story of the in-between.  These stories leave us hopeful and hopeless at the same time.  Hopeful to reach the end of our stories, but hopeless to get across the chasm between the now and the then.

In the book of Song of Solomon, God gives us the hope to start living out the then right now.  He not only gives us the destination, but lays out the roadmap on how to get there.  Love is the greatest gift given to us, but like any gift, it will take effort on our part to open it.  To make love in this world, we have to know the destination to the fairy tale ending and work to get there. 

Be Bold: Safe is Boring

The Christian life is full of adventure when it is actually lived.  For many of us we are more worried about staying safe than living fully.  We are bombarded with the constant fears and questions of “what if”, so we never move from our safe places to actually follow God’s leading in our lives.  The reality is that when it comes to this life we can never be safe on our own.  God did not promise a life without fear, but He did promise a life greater than anything we could lose. He promised do be our safety when we are living boldly for Him.

In this series we are answering the question: “Who are we and where are we going?”  In the book of Acts, the first church lived a life so bold that it changed the course of history and impacted the world as we know it.  As God’s Church and plan A for the world, He calls us to Be Bold and follow His Spirit’s leading in our lives.  Being bold enough to truly live is not the absence of fear, but rather the presence of faith.  So Be Bold because Safe is boring.
