Okay, truth in advertising. Our current series (Straight Talk about Us) is really talking the three basic questions of philosophy—basic because they just keep being wrestled with by people all over the world, in every age. We are applying those three questions to our life together as a community: Where did I come from? [Origins: for us = What beliefs created and define this community?] Where am I going? [Destiny: Where are we going?] Who am I, as in why do I matter? [Identity and purpose]. Last week we looked at four core convictions that birthed and shape tis community. This week we will look at where, at this point, we believe God is leading us. Then, in week three, why us being who Christ calls us to be as a community matters so much.
