WAY OF LOVE
Church was designed to be an on-going training session in the ways of love. This three-week worship series will invite us to reclaim church as a school of love. Norman Wirzba writes,
Christianity is best understood as a training ground in the ways of love. That is what Jesus began and what he wants his church to continue to do. And since love is a subject that is not fully known by memorizing formulas or studying textbooks, we should not be surprised that the Bible often resorts to stories as the best vehicles for training disciples in the way of love, stories that invite us in and change us, so that we can live out this new way of love for ourselves (Way of Love, 4).
