Sacred Time: Formation (11.02.14 Sermon Notes)
November 3rd, 2014 | John Chandler
Unfortunately, our audio from yesterday’s sermon didn’t turn out for the podcast this week. But, here are some of quotes and resources mentioned:
- “We cannot attain the presence of God because we’re already totally in the presence of God. What’s absent is awareness…To become aware of God’s presence in our lives, we have to accept what is often difficult, particularly for people in what appears to be a successful culture. We have to accept that human culture is in a mass hypnotic trance. We’re sleep-walkers. All religious teachers have recognized that we human beings do not naturally see; we have to be taught how to see.” – Richard Rohr
- “I define ‘a practice of the Christian faith’ as a purposeful, creative outworking of a sequence of steps that empower persons in community better to proceed along the way of Jesus Christ. … it implies the process of being drawn by God’s Spirit ever more deeply into a life pattern that responds to the rhythms of the dancing dynamic of the Holy Trinity.” — Nancy Bedford
