The Surprising Sunrise (Easter Sunday, 2021)
On Easter morning, we follow Mary Magdalene and the faithful women to the garden of resurrection. Listen along to Jordan's homily on Easter Sunday, April 4, 2021.
The Christ Self Rises (April 11, 2021)
We begin a journey to explore how Jesus calls the Christ Self to receive Easter's invitation to rise into new life. Throughout this series we'll look at the nature of the false self, and provide a pattern for how spiritual formation happens.
The Christ Self | A Name for Myself (April 18, 2021)
The False Self appears early in the biblical narrative. We'll trace its exponential growth in the human experience from Genesis on, and how the eastward movement of the False Self is invited to return home to God's garden through the resurrection of Christ.
The Christ Self | Confrontation & Awakening (April 25, 2021)
Join us as we continue our series "The Christ Self". As the Kingdom of God parades into a realm governed by the False Self, we experience both awakening and confrontation. This morning's passage is from 1 John 3.
The Christ Self | Dying & Rising (May 2, 2021, Baptism Sunday)
This morning we celebrate the Baptisms of several members in The Parish community, and we are reminded of the inner journey of the Christ Self rising.
The Christ Self | The Way of the Cross (May 9, 2021)
"Through many small crucifixions, the life of Christ is born in us" (Adele Calhoun). These words set the tone for the next step in our journey into the Christ self identity. The Kingdom of Love is greater than the Kingdom of fear, but entering it involves a dying of life as we have known it. Our passages come from 1 John 4, and we see love's effect on fear.
The Christ Self | Dear False Self (May 16, 2021)
In this final week of Easter, we explore a practice of evangelizing our own false selves by introducing our hearts the good news of Jesus. Because the false self is loved, it can finally let go.
