Seek The Things That Are Above

It IS Your Job

When Jesus looks at the crowds and tells his disciples "the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few," he doesn't form a committee or take a vote, he just sends people, even ones who couldn't stand each other. The good news is that the call doesn't wait for us to get it right... it shows up again every day, what we are asked to do is answer it. Watch the video HERE [https://youtu.be/GWCi6SpOmS0?t=1997].

Meditation: Praying Oneness

Prayer can help us deepen our experience of our oneness with God and with all of creation. While intercessory prayer and petitionary prayer are important and have their place, the most basic form of prayer is just being with God. Meditative prayer is a simple and accessible way for people to connect with God who is already within them, and through God, connect with other people as well.  Watch the video HERE.

“You Can’t See the Dirt in Me”

Jesus calls sinners to follow him because this is what God does. God sees past our sin and sees how capable we are of love and goodness. This is the mercy of God in action. Having faith means trusting in that mercy and seeing ourselves the way God sees us. Saintliness is not about perfection but about saying yes and trusting that God will bring forth the best in us as we follow Christ.

Practice Oneness

The Holy Spirit makes us one with God, other people, and the whole of creation. Awareness of that unity is a gift, but there are things we can do to open ourselves to experiencing that gift more fully. Serving other people and connecting with the natural world are two ways we can easily do this. Both remind us that we are one with the people and the world around us. Watch the video HERE.

The Trinity: What Difference Does It Make?

On Trinity Sunday, we explore one of Christianity’s deepest mysteries by asking a simple question: What difference does it make? Rather than trying to explain the Trinity, we discover how the church came to understand God as Creator, Christ, and Spirit. If God’s deepest nature is relationship and love, what might that mean for how we live with one another? At the heart of the Trinity is an invitation to live more deeply into relationship, compassion, and communion.  Watch the video HERE [https://www.youtube.com/live/8RMXWBII30U] (sermon starts at 35:43) Read the sermon HERE [https://www.coosonline.org/blog/20260531sermon] Connect with Church of Our Saviour HERE [https://www.coosonline.org/]
