Culture

Must Christianity Change or Die? The Shaping of Faith and Culture, Part I
Written by Mike Gunn courtesy of Hollywood Jesus

In his book Why Christianity Must Change Or Die, Episcopalian bishop John Shelby Spong argued that the Christian faith needs to develop a contemporary understanding of the world, morality, and God in order to be seen as “relevant” to today’s secular culture.   Read More

Bigger, Stronger, Faster 
Reviewed by Mike Gunn

Bigger, Stronger, Faster focuses on Chris Bell and his two brothers, Mark and Mike, who, while growing up in Poughkeepsie, New York, with that childhood dedication to emulating their heroes—Arnold Schwarzenegger, Hulk Hogan, Rocky (Sylvester Stallone)—began lifting weights at an early age. All three brothers achieved a certain level of success, either in power-lifting, football, or professional wrestling.    Read More

Lord Save us from your Followers
Reviewed by Mike Smith

I don't think there is any dispute that the church created a monster when it stuck itself into the political fray. Unfortunately, both sides use ad hominum language to make their points. All of American life seems to have a political component to it now. The church should participate in culture, not as wielders of political power but as humble sojourners with a better story to tell. Instead we have incorporated this human structure, to do God's will.  Read More

&quot;...I've benefited from your teaching. But the fact is that I regularly listen to your messages on my commute to and from work and consider them an important tool in the growth of my personal faith. I wanted you to know that those podcasts don't just end up in some cyberspace black hole. They touch people.&quot;

On Sat Mar 1, Cultivate hosted a show at Harambee that featured Passion, Bridget Hermano, Lorenzo, and Harambee's own 3 Ties &amp; Hoody. Over 500 people attended. (Click on photo to open slideshow).



Liturgy: One of the things that makes Harambee unique is our use of a form of Liturgy as part of our corporate worship on Sundays. Now, we would like to extend this testimony of the transforming power of the gospel in our lives beyond Sundays and our local body by posting the recordings and text of these pieces online. We invite you to join us in our Liturgical journey of Worship.

Benevolence Offering: Prayer of hope and Thanksgiving
Presented as part of our corporate worship on Sunday on June 29th, 2008 

My name is Cherie Trondson, and today the benevolence offering will be used to support my friend, Christine Francisco, and her children. After I take a short moment to tell you more of her story, I will pray for her family while the offering is collected.   Read More

Telling the Story 

This story really began the end of last Spring when I became the main provider in my home for myself and my children.  Since then, several amazing events have happened.
  In the beginning, I had a plan, and was confident that I’d be okay, because of it, until my plan didn’t work out.  I had to question if I had confidence because I had a plan or because I had God.  I literally was in the position of being steps away from being out of my house, without a provisional job when some pivotal things happened. Read More</summary>
