    Courage is critically important, because it is at the center of all the other Christian virtues. What convictions undergird and strengthen our courage?

    This morning, I’d like us to consider the topic of "courage". Not merely courage in a general sense, as an admirable character quality, or as a moral virtue that we should seek to cultivate. But specifically, as an aspect of Christian faith. I’d like for us to consider what part courage plays in ...read more

    What does it mean to say that God’s love is "personal"? What difference does it make?
