“To worship is to quicken the conscience by the holiness of God, to feed the mind with the truth of God, to purge the imagination by the beauty of God. To open the heart to the love of God, to devote the will to the purpose of God.”

— William Temple
1881-1944

“Celtic Way of Evangelism”
[mp3 audio, 49:00min, 7mb]

Speaker:

Jason Condon

Scriptures:

Colossians 3:11, Acts 15:19

Description:

Increasingly our peers, friends, family, and neighbors are more ‘Celtic’ than ‘Roman’ in their world-view. This preview message explores what this shift means, the challenges and opportunities it presents, and how we might faithfully respond as a church community.

“Celtic Way of Encountering God”
[mp3 audio, 29:36min, 5.4mb]

Speaker:

Brian Haak

Scriptures:

Acts 17:16-34

Description:

The Celtic Irish were considered “barbaric” by the Romans. The Celts got this reputation because they did not read, but used storytelling, art, and music to pass their history, passions, and religion from one generation to the next.  Many people have been treated like modern day barbarians by the church. We invite you to experience the Celtic Way of Encountering God.
