Creating an Empowered Life

Write By:

This week I want to wrap up our month long series on Creativity by talking about living an empowered life.  (You can find the video of last Sunday’s service here) All of the messages this month were inspired in part by the book of the month The Sun Does Shine by Anthony Ray Hinton and Laura Love Hardin (order your copy here)  It’s about a man, Anthony, who was wrongly convicted of a murder he did not commit, and who lived on Death Row for 30 year!  The book telegraphs the journey......

Living in Choice

Write By:

Last week we talked about how to create a new story (find the link to the blog entry here) and this week I want to talk about how to Live In Choice (click here for video of the Sunday message and service.) “Any creation of Infinite Intelligence would have to be intelligent” – Raymond Charles Barker You are the byproduct of the infinite intelligence of the universe and as such are an agent of this intelligence.  Part of that intelligence that is moving through you is the freedom to choose your thoughts. ......

Creating a New Story

Write By:

Last week we talked about the freedom of co-creation (you can read that blog entry here).  Picking up where we left off – this week I want to talk about the capacity we have t write a new story (you can access video of the sermon here). Story is the most powerful creative tool we have.  Our society honors great story tellers, whether in novel form, Cinema, Broadway or television.  We consider those who have mastered the craft to be the most talented and creative among us.  And if you are like......

The Freedom of Co-Creation

Write By:

Last Sunday, I began our July series on Creativity with the message on the Power of Co-Creation. You can view the whole service here. I want you to remember a few key things from this message. You are a co-creator with the universe. You always have been and you always will be. Regardless of whether this has been known by you in the past or not. This power is also using YOU. It is utilizing you as its outlet – its vehicle for expression and expansion. As such you are supported by......

Consider Liberated Pathways to a New Way of Being

Write By:

Dr. David Ault Cycling round and round and getting nowhere. This is what life consists of for many in our world. There is a saying ‘if they knew better, they’d do better’ but I don’t find that to be an accurate sentiment. I believe many of us know better but our addictions to creature comforts and fear of change prevent us from embracing an alchemical transformation of self from something perceived to be limited and oppressed to someone liberated and powerful beyond measure. September’s theme is titled Consider This.  Each week you......

Dr. David Reminds Us Life Demands Transformation

Write By:

Peace is felt in an atmosphere of surrender. An atmosphere of surrender is available through letting go of the conventional. Letting go the conventional requires the understanding that there are far more options available to consider than what you’ve seen modeled by others. The risk of being labeled foolish will actually nurture peace in your heart. Playing it safe will not. I realize that to be in integrity with the demands of transformation within myself, I must risk looking foolish as well as risk other’s judgments and the accompanying feelings of abandonment.......

Rev. Susan Zoller Invites You to Enter the Mandala

Write By:

BY REV. SUSAN ZOLLER Growing up, spiritual understanding seemed much like entering a movie theater.  Walking in to view the film, a wall greeted you that blocked the light.  To be seated required a walk around either end of the wall.  The screen and seating were then visible. I was behind that wall, frustrated others were seated and seeing the film, not knowing how to enter and unable to see the show. Despite my desire, understanding God, by whatever name known, was something others could do.  For me, it remained elusive.  Something......
