Jesus begins His Sermon on the Mount with a description of personal qualities that will lead us to incredible happiness and blessings: Blessed are… the poor in spirit, those who mourn, the meek, those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, the merciful, the pure in heart, the peacemakers, and those who are persecuted. The qualities that help us to find true happiness in our relationships with others are symbolized by the eight blessings Jesus points to. They are: Humility; admitting our mistakes; being courteous; hoping and working for what is good; caring about the cares of others; committing to self improvement; looking for common ground, and recognizing that change is hard and having the willingness to go through what it takes to grow. This week we will talk about building healthy relationships by practicing self-awareness.--by observing our attitudes and reactions to others. Before approaching a conversation or interaction with someone else, stop and ask these questions: “What attitude am I bringing to this interaction?” “Am I remaining aware of the other person’s happiness as well as my own?” Be willing to change your reaction, and attitude, if necessary.

There are many churches in this world. With so many choices it can a bit overwhelming to find a church that fits. Here are a few ideas about The New Church so you can see if it might be a good fit for you. First, we are not a traditional Christian church. We do follow the Lord Jesus Christ--but we don’t think you are going to hell if you don’t. Second, we believe the Bible is not supposed to be understood literally. It was written and given to us because it contains a deeper “spiritual sense” that is really about our inner or spiritual life. And third, God never judges anyone. We judge ourselves by the choices we make every day in freedom. We are creating a heaven or hell within us right now by what we love and pursue in our lives. We simply continue living after death in the way we have chosen to live here, but more completely. These are a small sampling of the ideas that make up The New Church. Please join us for worship or explore this web page for more information.

We have choice. Our choices make up our spiritual character. It is important to know that there are good impulses flowing in from heaven and selfish impulses flowing in from hell.
