Psalm 34: 1-18; Matthew 3: 13-17: The Baptism of Jesus<br /><br /><b>Hearts Afire: The Courage to Say Yes</b><br /><b>What does it mean for us to live courageously as God’s people in the midst of the </b><br /><b>daily grind of life? How do we claim our courage with an abiding hope as we </b><br /><b>worship through such a time as this? The latin root “cor” reminds us that the word </b><br /><b>courage means “to speak from one’s heart.” Courage is a matter of the heart, of the </b><br /><b>soul, of that which makes us come alive and live into our most authentic self.</b>
