The entire universe comes alive because of our surrender to the mystery of the Resurrection of Jesus. The universe is 93 million light years in diameter— incomprehensible to us. The universe bears the fullness of God with the fullness of Jesus in the Holy Spirit down to the very depths of our souls. God in fullness is always with us. We surrender to this gift as we praise our God!
We are faced in life with strange inconsistencies–different ways of seeing things. These are called paradoxes. It’s when two opposing things are embraced and held together that retain the truth of both even they don’t seem to jive together. I hope you find this sermon helpful for you.
Aramaic rendition of the Lord’s Prayer by Neil Douglas-Klotz in “Prayers of the Cosmos” Free sample of Kindle version https://a.co/dEM57CA
O Birther! Father-Mother of the Cosmos, Focus your light within us—make it useful: Create your reign of unity now- Your one desire then acts with ours, as in all light, so in all forms. Grant what we need each day in bread and insight. Loose the cords of mistakes binding us, as we release the strands we hold of others’ guilt. Don’t let surface things delude us, But free us from what holds us back. From you is born all ruling will, the power and the life to do, the song that beautifies all, from age to age it renews.
We worship at 10 am each Sunday.
