Life with God begins and continues here -- God's love for us, initiative with us, and his commitment to restore a people for himself.
A previous sermon by Pastor James from Exodus on the intensity of God’s love for us (podcast).
We gather in both smaller groups (even 2 or 3 is still a gathering!) and large groups (e.g. Sunday mornings) are part of God’s work in us, and a gift to us.
We live in a world enchanted with the presence of God - his love, his beauty. We come awake to his love in the daily rhythms of everyday life, as we eat (audio), rest, work, play, and exercise. *And*, each of these physical rhythms has a spiritual component – and spiritual analogue – in light of the Gospel of Jesus.
(The links above connect you to previous sermons on each of these rhythms.)
The reality of God is love and beauty, and we experience life through these rhythms as we become 'rooted and grounded the love of Christ,...to know the love of Christ that exceeds all knowledge, that [we] might be filled with all the fullness of God." (see Ephesians 3:14-19)
We've learned a lot from our Soma friends -- here's a 14 minute picture of what everyday life together with Jesus can be like.
