Episode 58: Worship Whys, Part 2--Authentic, Not Just Traditional/Contemporary

In this second episode of their new series on Worship Whys, pastors Erica and Steve look at the way the God the Old and New Testament resists being permanently put in a box, whether a temple or tabernacle, a ritual or a rigid style.  That means that God's people will always have the freedom to borrow the patterns of the world around us in our worship life, but also always have the calling to run counter to the culture around us, too.  While Christians have often gotten heated and fussy about what the "right" style of worship, or music, or structure should be, maybe God's been after "authentic" worship all along, which asks us to be stretched beyond our comfort zones and preferences, summons us to offer even the things we aren't good at, and draws us to surrender our hearts and minds to God's way of shaping us in light of Jesus.  Listen in on the conversation, and join in!
