Our Sermons

Every Sunday · 6:00 PM ET · Weekly Online Assembly for members via Zoom. A taste of the teaching we share.

WHY WE TEACH

Content that heals, awakens, and unites.

Our sermons speak to the whole being — the heart and the mind, the individual and the One. Two series carry the teaching: love that begins within and flows outward, and the truth that as energy beings connected through the Source, we are creators of our own reality. This is the teaching our members gather for every Sunday.

SERIES I · LOVE

Sermon 1 — Love: It Begins with Self

Love is not what the world has told you it is. It is not self-sacrifice, not performance, not the exhaustion of giving from an empty cup. The ancient instruction — love your neighbor as yourself — is precise and deliberate: you can only give what you have. This sermon unlearns the great misunderstanding and rebuilds love from its true foundation: the self. It distinguishes self-love from selfishness, vanity, and arrogance, and teaches it as the honoring of the temple — body, mind, and spirit. It shows how assuming the feeling of self-love becomes the reality of self-love, and how your inner speech is the architect of your life. From that fullness, love flows outward on its own — to the neighbor, to the difficult ones (through the sacred practice of revision), and to the assembly where we practice what we preach. It closes in the truth of our being: as energy beings connected through the Source, there is no other — only the One, and the One is Love.

Sermon 2 — The Inner Speech of Love

The most powerful voice in your life is the one inside. This sermon teaches that the silent conversation you hold with yourself — from morning to night — is the architect of your life. It reveals how we speak to ourselves with a cruelty we would never direct at another, and why the world mirrors whatever we rehearse within. It teaches the vocabulary of love — I am loved, I am worthy, I am whole — and the practice of replacing the old cruelty with tenderness, one word at a time. It includes the discipline of the morning declaration, the nightly revision, the silence between the words where the Source speaks, and the inner speech of the community: the words we speak to one another are seeds that grow into the circle we share.

Sermon 3 — Revision & Forgiveness

The past is not a prison — it is a state, and every state can be left. This sermon teaches the two great arts of freedom: revision, which transforms what was, and forgiveness, which releases it. It reveals that the past lives only in the present, in memory — and memory is a creation of consciousness that can be remade. Through the nightly practice of revision, you re-enter the day and give its moments a new meaning, and in doing so you heal the future that grows from them. It teaches the deepest revision — the revision of the self you were, seen with the tenderness of the Source — and the forgiveness that begins with yourself. Every wound carries a gift, and what broke you open also let the light in. The past, revised, becomes the foundation — not the prison — of your life.

SERIES I · LOVE

Sermon 4 — Love in Community

Love begins in the self, but it matures in community. This sermon follows love on its journey outward: to the neighbor who is your mirror, to the assembly that is the practice ground of love, to the difficult ones who are the great teachers, and to the stranger who is the purest test. It teaches the practice of blessing — assuming the wholeness of another in the silence — and the service that is love made hands. The assembly is a family of the heart, a circle with no outside, because every being is the One. It closes with the truth that we are not separate beings: we are the One, in many forms, and to love the community is to love the Source.

SERIES II · CONSCIOUSNESS

Sermon 5 — You Are the Creator

What are you? The world answers: a body, subject to circumstance. The teaching of consciousness answers differently: you are not a body that happens to imagine — you are an imagination experiencing a body. This sermon opens the series on consciousness with the law of assumption: assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, and the world rearranges itself to match. Feeling is the secret; creation is finished — every state already exists, and your imagination is the hand that selects. Your true default state of being is imagination. It teaches the power of selection in daily life, the dreamer within the dream, and the guardrail every great power requires: use the power to bless, never to bind. You are not a beggar at the door of the universe. You are the universe, creating through the form of you.

SERIES II · CONSCIOUSNESS

Sermon 6 — Feeling Is the Secret

Thoughts are the words of the mind — but feelings are the language of the Source. This sermon teaches the secret of creation: it is not enough to think your desire; you must feel it. Through the picture of the radio — the dial is thought, the frequency is feeling — it reveals why thinking alone creates nothing, and why the feeling of the wish fulfilled is the prayer answered. It teaches how to enter the feeling through the scene, how the body is the instrument of feeling, how feeling heals, and how your feeling for others is a creation in their world. And it guards the discipline: you are always feeling something — so choose your feelings as carefully as you choose your words. The one who governs their feeling is never a victim.

SERIES II · CONSCIOUSNESS

Sermon 7 — Living in the End

Do not imagine the journey — imagine the arrival. This sermon teaches the art of the fulfilled state: live in the end, not toward it. The end is the seed, and the seed grows the journey backward into the world. It distinguishes the two ways of imagining — the journey way that rehearses the search, and the end way that stands in the finding — and teaches the practice of the scene from the end, felt as memory. It includes patience (the confidence of the one who knows, not the waiting of the uncertain), the Sabbath of the end (rest from striving, for the work is done), and holding the end through the storm, when the old state thrashes as it dissolves. The end is not an escape — it is the redemption of the present, held in the present.

SERIES II · CONSCIOUSNESS

Sermon 8 — We Are One

Every teaching in this series returns to one summit: we are energy beings, connected through the Source. We are One. This sermon carries the whole of the teaching to its crown — the wave and the ocean, the one light wearing a million faces, the dreamer within the dream. It reveals why the teaching works: your imagination is the Source imagining through you, and your assumption is the Source assuming. It teaches the practice of oneness — seeing the Source in every face, in the ordinary and in the hardest place — and the language of the One, which every being speaks: the language of feeling, and beneath all tongues, the one tongue of love. Love is the memory of oneness, and every act of love is the One remembering itself. The whole teaching in one breath: you are the One, and the One is love.
