In this message, Pastor Eric invites us to encounter the Divine Mystery we name "God" in new ways.
Many of us have grown up with an image of God as a distant, angry, judging, old white-haired man whose approval we need to seek. The consequences of this image of God--even when we stop intentionally believing in it--not only negatively shapes our individual lives, but also the world that we imagine to be possible--and therefore are able to build.
In contrast to this, Pastor Eric dusts off the ancient Christian image of God as three and yet one--a singular unity and yet a community of multiplicity, of diversity. Rather than an antiquated rigid and patriarchal doctrine we should believe intellectually, he invites us to hear it as a fresh and transformational vision, as a timely call that our disconnected world deeply needs. Pastor Eric references the image on the cover of the bulletin in his sermon. You can view that here: bit.ly/FCSbulletinTS
