On Easter Sunday, let’s gather together to celebrate the miracle of this story – God’s story – where the final answer to death is not death itself, but resurrection and rebirth.3/31/24
What is religion for? There's a simple yet profound answer that can clarify and energize our spiritual life.
One of the quieter ways to create a space for God is prayer. Prayer, as Swedenborg writes, is simply a conversation with God. What are the different ways we can pray? What can we pray for? What approaches might help?4/14/24
When we're at the end of our rope, we think no future is before us, it is powerful to witness the little miracles that start to show up. The bread of heaven.
Abraham’s Journey and Our Spiritual RenewalThere is an emptiness that is life giving. Let’s hold that as spaciousness. And there is an emptiness that feels soul-defeating. Lets hold that as the void. Out of the good emptiness, out of God-given spaciousness, we can find commitment again, a commitment that will help us re-discover purpose and renewal.5/5/24
When we feel hollow, burned out, God asks us to remember the miracle. It is not just the miracle of the 1969 "Miracle Mets" World Series Championship. It is the miracle of life, the miracle of the "countless points of goodness."
We all experience hollowness at time, where life feels empty, Our faith often can feel the same. How do we get back on track? What are the new commitments that grow out of a rekindled faith?
God is always there, we just have to know where to look. Come learn about how God uses the truth to lift us up, even when things seem darkest.with Curtis Childs5/26/24
As it says in the Psalms, when life gets really challenging we can reach a point where "Darkness is my only friend." How do we get out of that place so that our lives don't get stuck on what is tragic? How can we move on with the loss and heartbreak and find life anew?
We all struggle with loneliness. And yet the elemental building block of all creation is love. How can we build there, finding more connection and more meaning ... and coming around to truly understanding that God, with gentleness, assures all of us that we are seen.
Is being in a church essential to your salvation? Or is it just a waste of time? We'll explore what a church can and can't do for you and how under the right conditions, it can supercharge your spiritual life.
Was Jesus happy? At times clearly yes. At other times clearly no. His life like ours played out between the two poles of happiness and sorrow. And the Lord gives a lesson there.. that sorrow and joy are part of loving.
We often see in only two dimensions. How can we find a third dimension, a dimension that will give us a new perspective and a new freedom
As our journeys take us though episodes of challenge, Hope may be the best medicine but often the most elusive. Join New Church Live for an exploration of how we face the broken times, seek to sooth the unknown and anxious moments, and find hope and light amongst the noise. We hope you will be […]
We face anxious fragility in the face of so much change in our communities. What might we seek to recapture as a way to approach what can appear intractable at times? Maybe this ... maybe reverence.
The book of Philippians is a fascinating section from the Bible. Written by Paul while he was imprisoned, it offers clear directions around navigating life in the face of challenges. How do we move from being pushed around by nervous reactions and instead learn to step forward, driven by deeply embedded ideals?
Often we imagine what God is calling us to is a life of rigid perfection. But what if that was not true? What if God was calling us to the imperfect life, a life that could hold both the good and the bad together and continue to work humbly every day to add more kindness to the […]
Many consider Philippians 4 to include one of the most beautiful lines in all of scripture. It reads, "Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with […]
No matter what your life situation is, there are always three things you can do to make it better: be humble, be useful, be happy. We'll look at how the Lord is calling us to these things, and how they unlock the secrets of life.
Our minds often fill with chatter of all types. How might we still the noise so we can better discern the greater call of God and the greater longings of our heart?8/25/24
At some point in our lives, the bottom will fall out. When the bottom falls out the voices of despair, shame, and fear run riot. But the voices do not have the last word. Love and connection do.
We all are writing a book of life, filled with great beauty and unfinished chapters. What are themes in your book, in your life?
In a world filled with uncertainty and challenges, we often seek strength in familiar places—our routines, relationships, and achievements. However sometimes life gets in way, throwing us unexpected challenged and helping us to find strength in unexpected places.Join Kayne Lermitte and Pastor Chuck as we look at the themes of hope, perseverance, and Divine Providence. Together, […]
We all have a central set of “notes” where we can sing well. A beautiful metaphor for life where we come to discover our best “note” and then work to expand our range from there into areas of growth and change.
There's a profound state of contentment and joy called "heavenly peace." Join us this week as we talk about what it is and how we can find it for ourselves. With Curtis Childs.
A profound theme of friendship grows through our years as we walk with God. God extends the beautiful gift of companionship to us, urging us to embrace humility and connection in our relationships with Him and others, mirroring in our own imperfect ways exactly what He is doing with us.10/13/24
Most Christians know Jesus had 12 close followers, often called the 12 disciples. But what about the significance of the 13th disciple?This figure symbolizes the often unrecognized individuals who play crucial roles in our spiritual journeys, reminding us of the transformative impact of those who serve behind the scenes.It’s learning one of the biggest promotions […]
God is sometimes depicted as punitive and judgemental, but that couldn't be further from the truth. However, there is still important work for us to do in ridding ourselves of destructive thoughts, intentions, and behaviors.
On the heels of one of the most contentious elections in U.S. history, don't forget that we've got explicit commands from God to not harbor and nurture enmity for each other. Though we may not agree on the issues, we'll look at the way we're all put by God onto team "love one another."
Description: We live in a time where very little, in public formats, is whispered. What if we could still our minds enough to really listen to God's gentle voice, to God's gentle nudges?
